CPERC holds information on specific areas that have been awarded some level of designation for their nature conservation interest (designated sites) as well as records of species that have been found across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough (species records).
We are now also beginning to work with habitat data for sites (in designated and non-designated areas) and we also hold information on the locations of Local Geological Sites (LGS) in the area. This data is continually changing with new species and site records being added and occasionally sites being taken off. We recommend therefore that you have the most up to date information from CPERC to take into account during decision making.
We hold information on the following sites
International and/or European level designations
These sites are protected by the Habitats Directive and Birds Directive and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010

These sites are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981
The information we can provide for non-statutory designated sites includes:
