APPENDIX C. WHAT INTERNATIONALLY DESIGNATED NATURE CONSERVATION SITES LIE CLOSE TO MY AIRPORT? This appendix shows maps of English airports and their nearest European sites (Special Protection Areas, Special Areas of Conservation and Ramsar sites). The airports are in alphabetical order. The appendix is based on Natural England s interactive mappipng website Nature on the Map. Unfortunately, no similar websites exists for Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The maps suggest that, based on distance to the European site alone, the following airports have the greatest potential to affect the integrity of European sites: Blackpool Bournemouth Heathrow Liverpool John Lennon Lydd / Ashford Southampton and to a lesser extent: Manston / Kent Southend. The information in this document is to the best of our knowledge, but we strongly recommend that you use Nature on the Map to confirm details for your airport. The integrity of many of the European sites within 15km of an airport will not be affected by airport development; and conversely some sites further away than 15km from an airport might be affected by development at that airport. Please contact AEF if you have more up to date information, or information on other airports/airfields and would like us to include it in this file. C-1
