Laid before Parliament 17th November 1993

Coming into force 8th December 1993

Whereas, as referred to in section 18(1) of the Agriculture Act 1986^f1, it appears to the Secretary of State that it is particularly desirable–

to conserve the flora and fauna and geological and physiographical features of that area; and

(3)

to protect buildings and other objects of archaeological interest in that area;
