The operations listed below may damage the features of interest of Rhosydd LLanddona SSSI. Before any of these operations are undertaken you must consult CCW, and may require our consent.  The list of operations is not a prohibited list.

 It is usually possible to carry out some of these operations in certain ways, or at specific times of year, or on certain parts of the SSSI, without damaging the features of interest. If you wish to carry out any of these activities please contact the local office of CCW. A Conservation Officer will give you advice and where appropriate issue a consent. Please help us by using the enclosed form to ask us for consent to carry out these operations.

In certain circumstances it will not be possible to consent these operations, because they would damage the features of interest. Where possible the Conservation Officer will suggest alternative ways in which you may proceed, which would enable a consent to be issued.  To proceed without CCW's consent may constitute an offence.  If consent is refused, or conditions attached to it, which are not acceptable to you, you will be provided with details of how you may appeal to the National Assembly for Wales.
