A coastal habitat designation such as a protected site affects a scheme by

  • A.requiring an assessment of effects on the designated features
  • B.prohibiting any works of any kind within the designated area
  • C.guaranteeing that the scheme will receive public funding
  • D.removing the need for any planning permission at all

Answer: A

Correct answer: requiring an assessment of effects on the designated features

Designation does not prohibit works; it requires that their effect on the features for which the site was designated be assessed, and that the scheme proceed only if it will not adversely affect the integrity of the site - or, where it would, that there be no alternative, an overriding public interest, and compensatory habitat. It adds a test, not a ban, and it certainly does not remove the need for planning permission.
