Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) all site details (archive series from August 2009 to July 2015)
This spreadsheet contains the UK wide data submitted to the EU Commmission as part of the Standard Data Form information completed for all Special Areas for Conservation (under the Habitats Directive). It is an archived data series form August 2009 to July 2015). Note that Gibraltar information is not included in this spreadsheet. Please note that this information was superceded in December 2015 by a spreadsheet that contains information for both SACs and also SPAs - in other words for the whole Natura 2000 network. This dataset is entitled "Natura 2000 all site details" The information provided here, follows the officially agreed site information format for Natura 2000 sites, as set out in the Official Journal of the European Union recording the Commission Implementing Decision of 11 July 2011 (2011/484/EU). The content matches exactly the data submitted to the European Commission. Further technical documentation may be found here http://bd.eionet.europa.eu/activities/Natura_2000/reference_portal More general information on Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in the United Kingdom is available from the SAC home page on the JNCC website. http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=23. This webpage also provides links to Standard Data Forms for all SACs in the UK. this sheet is organised in a series of tabs - corresponding to different sections of the standard data form. All sheets are filterable by Country codes - (E, S, W, NI and OF for offshore). Cross border sites take the first letter of each country code eg EW for England Wales, SO for Scotland/Offshore. The tabs are: *Site details - one row per site, containing basic site details. *SAC interest features - habitats and species listed on the standard data form. *Maps - a facility to produce simple dot maps of sites *SAC Habitat classes *SAC Physical site characteristics (pre 2013 versions of this spreadshet only - from 2013 these details are integrated into a column on the site details table). *SAC component SSSIs (up until 2013 - dropped from subsequent versions because of a lack of updated information).

Each of the tabs in the spreadsheet has been derived from a master SQL server database managed by JNCC. This database is used to provide the official EU submission and also to generate the Standard Data Forms. From December 2015, JNCC published information for both SAC and SPA on the same spreadsheet. The information provided here, follows the officially agreed site information format for Natura 2000 sites, as set out in the Official Journal of the European Union recording the Commission Implementing Decision of 11 July 2011 (2011/484/EU). This is known as the Standard Data Format. As part of the December 2015 submission, several sections of the UKâs previously published Standard Data Forms have been updated. For details of the approach taken by the UK in this submission please refer to the following document: http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/pdf/Natura2000_StandardDataForm_UKApproach_Dec2015.pdf. More general information on Special Protection Areas (SPAs) in the United Kingdom is available from the SPA home page on the JNCC website. This webpage also provides links to Standard Data Forms for all SPAs in the UK. For all sites other than those in the offshore zone, the Statutory Nature Conservation Body responsible for the site (eg Natural England or Scottish Natural Heritage) has supplied JNCC with the information for the standard data forms.
