The SPD provides further guidance on how criterion 7 of Policy JP-G5 of the Places for Everyone plan (PfE) will be implemented. Criterion 7 seeks to ensure new development does not have an adverse impact on three designated protected habitat sites: South Pennine Moors Special Area of Conservation (SAC); Peak District Moors Special Protection Areas (SPA's); and South Pennine Moors Phase 2 SPA. The three designated habitat sites overlap each other and are collectively known as the South Pennine Moors SAC/SPAs.
