Abstract

Local Wildlife Site (LWS) is the name given to non-statutory sites designated for their nature conservation value in Cheshire West. They complement the nationally designated series of statutory sites, Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA), Ramsar Sites and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) found in the borough, and receive protection through the Local Plan policies and local planning documents. The LWS information has been compiled following a review of the former Sites of Biological Importance (SBI) that were produced by Cheshire County Council and Sites of Nature Conservation Value (SNCV) that were produced by Chester City Council and Ellesmere Port and Neston Borough Council. This comprised of field survey work that was completed in 2010 and a subsequent review and verification in 2012/13. The council maintains a register of sites and there is an ongoing process of additional survey and review so that from time to time sites will be added or removed from the register and boundaries may be reduced or extended.
