Abstract

Related to SI 2012/1927 which amend the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/490), placing new duties on public bodies to take measures to preserve, maintain and re-establish habitat for wild birds. The Regulations also make a number of further amendments to SI 2010/490 to ensure certain provisions of Directive 92/43/EEC (the Habitats Directive) and Directive 2009/147/EC (the Wild Birds Directive) are transposed clearly. The Regulations also amend section 15 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 to make clear Local Nature Reserves may be designated for the purposes of re-establishing bird habitat.
