Brook Brick Pit SSSI
SSSIs are legally protected sites that represent the best examples of UK wildlife habitats, geological features, and landforms.
What makes Sites of Special Scientific Interest special?
- Protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981
- Notified by Natural England for their biological or geological interest
- Include rare species, habitats, or geological features
- Owners must obtain consent for potentially damaging operations
- Form the building blocks of nature conservation in the UK
Planning Considerations
Development likely to have an adverse effect on an SSSI should not normally be permitted. Where development is permitted, conditions or obligations to minimise harm and provide compensation are required.
