The Further Proposed Changes relate exclusively to the protection of sites of European or international importance for wildlife, and are proposed principally to avoid giving rise to a likely effect on such sites, or to avoid and/or mitigate any possible adverse effect. They are a revision to the Secretary of State’s Proposed Changes to the East of England Plan, which were published for consultation in December 2006, and respond to points put to us in representations on the Proposed Changes. In particular, they take account of the Habitats Directive Assessment of the Plan’s effects on sites protected under the European Habitats Directive, commissioned following the Proposed Changes consultation.
You can view and download the full text of the Plan, incorporating the Proposed Changes with the Further Proposed Changes, on the GO-East consultation portal
