ST LEONARDS AND ST IVES (DORSET) NATURE CONSERVATION ORDER 1999

Notice is hereby given under paragraph 6(2) of Schedule 11 to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (“the Act”), that the Secretary of State, having considered the objections and representations duly made in respect of the above-named Order and the report of the person appointed to hold a public inquiry, has considered the above-named Order, and does not propose to amend or revoke it. In consequence, the Order, which took effect on 23rd November 1999, will continue in force. The general effect of the Order is to prohibit any person from carrying out the operations specified in Schedule 2 to the Order on the land described in Schedule 1 to the Order (an area of some 3.5 hectares of land within the St Leonards and St  Ives Heaths Site of Special Scientific Interest, the exact delineation of which is set out on the plan referred to in the Order). Copies of the Order and the map referred to in it, and this notice, have been deposited at the offices of the East Dorset District Council, The Council Offices, Furzehill, Wimborne. They may be inspected free of charge at all reasonable hours. Any person who is aggrieved by the Order, and desires to question its validity on the grounds that it is not within the powers of section 29 of the 1981 Act, or that any of the requirements of Schedule 11 to that Act had not been complied with in relation to it may, within 6 weeks from the date of this notice, make an application to the High Court, under paragraph 7 of the said Schedule.
