The project will provide data from which it will be possible to extrapolate likely future patterns of recreational use. This will help identify any likely significant effects from increased residents as a result of new housing development in the county. It will establish which avoidance or mitigation measures are necessary to ensure there are no adverse impacts on the SAC's designated habitats and species.
