Received: 13/04/2010

Respondent: Natural England

Representation Summary:

In the first bullet point under "By 2025" in the vision, please note that:
1) Natural England's PSA target (set by Defra) is to achieve >95% by area of SSSI land in 'favourable' or 'unfavourable recovering' condition by the end of 2010, therefore we would expect the stated target to have been achieved well before 2025;
2) 'favourable' is the 'best' condition - there is no 'better condition'.
