J Darcy 5,871 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 well, if you can find four species of amphibian and a reptile on the land in a viable breeding population i think you can apply for SSSI status. OR....find a GC newt in breeding condition, both male and gravid female and video these, that should certainly put a stop to things for a while....good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think its ''Site of special scientific interest'' or something along those lines, I would say ring the council and ask for the environment agency. Some Newts are a protected species so they wont build on the land until the have re-homed them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

osimons89 0 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) yes it includes every living thing on the site becomes protected even if it is on say the pest list. makeing it very hard to work with. here you go this exsplanes every think about SSSI's (you do need Abode or a pdf Reader tho) http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-countrysi...s/sssi-code.pdf Edited January 9, 2009 by osimons89 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
