It's a Site of Special Scientific Interest, part of a designated Special Landscape Area, and a blanket bog habitat of the kind that doesn't occur much outside Scotland. It is also an area of great beauty, and I find it sad that it's going to be sacrificed for the convenience of a multinational corporation.
- arethuza 8y agoLooking at the SNH site tt looks like part of the area is a SSSI - but a large area is not: https://gateway.snh.gov.uk/sitelink/siteinfo.jsp?pa_code=1 https://gateway.snh.gov.uk/sitelink/siteinfo.jsp?pa_code=1 A development like this might actually be good for conservation as it is likely to prevent much else being developed in the immediate area.
