Our peninsula is situated between two estuaries (Malahide and Rogerstown) which are protected by Special Protected Area (SPA) Regulation. The SPA Regulations prohibit pollution, deterioration of habitat, and disturbance to birds using the area. The objective of this designation is the protection of natural habitats, fauna and flora. These areas are protected further by regulation known as Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The main aim of the Habitats Directive is to conserve the best examples of natural and semi natural habitats and species of flora and fauna throughout the EU. We take such issues very serious so we constantly monitor all planning applications to ensure developers are abiding to these critically important EU directives
