Activities requiring consultation are listed in the notification, and are called Potentially Damaging Operations ( PDOs ), or more correctly Operations Likely to Damage the SSSI interest ( OLDs ) ( in Scotland these are known as Operations Requiring Consent-ORCs ).

Within this SSSI, Otters Lutra lutra can sometimes be seen.

An LNR can also be an SSSI ( Site of Special Scientific Interest ), but often is not, or may have other designations ( although an LNR cannot also be a National Nature Reserve ).

An SSSI may be made on any area of land which is considered to be of special interest by virtue of its fauna, flora, geological or physiographical / geomorphological features.

The requirement for consultation covers any development which might affect the interest, not just developments within the SSSI itself — for example, a development a long way upstream of a wetland SSSI might require consultation.

In Scotland, some SPAs have been classified without any underpinning designation by SSSI.

* Failing to minimise any damage to an SSSI and if there is any damage, failing to restore it to its former state so far as is reasonably practical and possible.

*" Intentionally or recklessly damaging, destroying or disturbing any of the habitats or features of an SSSI.

Except where the site is an SSSI, there is no legal necessity to manage an LNR to any set standard, but management agreements often exist.

* Failing to let us know about a change in ownership or occupation of land in an SSSI " ( Natural England, 2007 )

* Intentionally or recklessly damaging, destroying, obscuring or taking down a site notice put up on land within an SSSI.

They are then required to consult the appropriate conservation body over planning applications which might affect the interest of an SSSI ( such a development might not be within or even close to the SSSI itself ).

Note that some developments might be neutral or beneficial, even if they are within the SSSI itself — the critical point is whether they harm the interest features.

The Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area ( SPA ), 1356 hectares of which lie within Bracknell Forest ( Sandhurst to Owlsmoor Bogs and Heaths SSSI and the Broadmoor to Bagshot Woods and Heaths SSSI ), supports nationally important populations of Dartford Warbler, Nightjar and Woodlark, all of which are Annex I species of the Birds Directive, and a small breeding population of Hobby, an important migratory species in a European context.

Because of its use it remains untouched by modern intensive farming and is thus part of the last chalk grassland in the UK ( and probably Europe ) and the whole area is designated as an SSSI ( Site of Special Scientific Interest ).

Should at some future date the army decide to stop training, and give public access, to clear the area would take hundreds of years, cost millions of pounds and destroy both the SSSI and the archaeology.

Even cutting of scrub to stop invasion of the grass lands to retain its SSSI condition has to be carried out in an armoured mine-clearing tractor fitted with cutting flails that pass over the surface ( not into it as with mine clearance ) and if as often happens in dry summers, it catches fire, it has to be left to burn out ( often live shells near the surface will explode ) and the unit causing the fire has to stay and provide fire watchers to ensure the fire does not spread outside the impact area.
