 Outer Thames Estuary

This is an update to the formal consultation on the Outer Thames Estuary potential Special Protection Area (pSPA) which commenced on the 21st January 2016. Due to an administrative error a number of stakeholders were not informed of the formal consultation. As a result we are extending the consultation for a 12 week period to enable those stakeholders to respond to the proposals.
 
The pSPA is recommended for breeding little and common tern and we are contacting you to seek your views on our proposals. Please find attached a letter regarding the pSPA which outlines where to find information regarding the pSPA and how you can respond to the consultation.
 
The deadline for the Outer Thames Estuary pSPA consultation is 5pm on 14th July 2016.
 
Following this a Consultation Report will be prepared by Natural England and submitted to the relevant Minister for their consideration.
