Note: The Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference gives a point within the site of special scientific interest

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which apply to England only, amend the Environmental Protection (Restriction on Use of Lead Shot) (England) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”) which apply in relation to England only. The 1999 Regulations prohibit the use of lead shot for shooting with a shot gun—

(a)

on or over any area below the high-water mark;

(b)

on or over the sites of special scientific interest included in Schedule 1 to the 1999 Regulations;

(c)

any wild bird included in Schedule 2 to the 1999 Regulations.

Regulation 2(2) of these Regulations substitutes a new Schedule 1 to the 1999 Regulations, providing a revised list of sites of special scientific interest to which the prohibition on the use of lead shot applies.

Regulation 2(3) removes golden plover and common snipe from Schedule 2 of the 1999 Regulations.

Details of the area covered by the sites of special scientific interest listed in the amended Schedule 1 to the 1999 Regulations can be obtained from English Nature at Northminster House, City Road, Peterborough, PE1 1UA.

No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
