We support the recognition of the nature conservation value of sites through appropriate designation. Whilst we support LNR designations, this requires an element of public access which may not be compatible with the habitats/species present. If the LNR designation doesn't prove suitable, consideration should be given to designating them as County Wildlife Sites.
We recommend that a review is undertaken of all of the existing parks/open spaces with a view to designating any which meet the criteria. Areas bordering existing LNRs, e.g. Kiln Meadow which is adjacent to Spring Wood LNR and Bobbits Lane LNR, should be considered for designation.
