Hamford Water Special Protection Area extension: consultation outcome

Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are special sites designated under the EU Birds Directive to protect rare, vulnerable and migratory birds.

The proposal for Hamford Water is to extend the boundary of the existing SPA to include and protect the ideal coastal feeding waters used by little tern when they’re breeding at colonies within the original boundary of the SPA.

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
