Consultation description
Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are special sites designated under the EU Birds Directive to protect rare, vulnerable and migratory birds.
The proposal for Poole Harbour is to:
- extend the boundary of the existing SPA to incorporate the subtidal areas of the harbour and also areas of Lytchett Bay now subject to tidal inundation
- add the new features:
- little egret
- Eurasian spoonbill
- Sandwich tern
This extended area is particularly important to these birds for feeding and resting and also contains important supporting habitats.
The proposal is available as a series of separate documents (attached above). You should:
- read the consultation summary that sets out the aims of the proposal
- read the departmental brief that provides the scientific explanation behind the proposal
