South Hams Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
To adopt a new joint ‘South Hams Special Area of Conservation (SAC)’. The South Hams SAC is a European designation established under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (Habitats Regulation) and is unusual in that it is comprised of several separate but linked component Sites of Special Scientific Interest with significant Greater Horseshoe Bat maternity roost importance located over five local planning authority areas.
The joint SAC will apply to all five local planning authority areas which cover the South Hams SAC and the habitat surrounding it and is designed to assist people who are submitting and determining planning applications with the objective to facilitate the appropriate siting/planning/design of development so as to avoid/mitigate significant impact on the favourable conservation status of the SAC.
