10/09/2015 - Proposal to Designate Hassacarr Nature Reserve as a Statutory Local Nature Reserve (LNR) by delegation of function
Resolved: That the Executive Member approves Option 1, to endorse that the City of York Council delegates its functions under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, 1949 to Dunnington Parish Council in this one instance such that Hassacarr Nature Reserve be designated as a Local Nature Reserve.
Reason: The designation as an LNR will bring positive benefits to the local community and to the site itself. It will help preserve and enhance the site for future years, send a positive message to the local community, and ensure good management practices are followed in consultation with Natural England.
