CWS
County Wildlife Sites (CWS): these are sites of county importance for wildlife, designated on the basis of the habitat or the known
presence of particular species. This is not a statutory designation like SSSIs, and does not have any legal status. County Wildlife
Sites are usually included in Local Plans as sites of substantive nature conservation interest and are covered by Planning Policy
Statement note nine (PPS9). CWS recognition does not demand any particular actions on the part of the Landowner and does not
give the public rights of access. However, it may increase eligibility for land management grants.
