# The Environmentally Sensitive Areas Designation (Wales) (Amendment) Order 1995, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
The Secretary of State for Wales has made a series of Orders, including the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Cambrian Mountains—Extension) Designation Order 1987, the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Lleyn Peninsula) Designation Order 1987, the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Ynys Môn) Designation Order 1993, the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Radnor) Designation Order 1993, the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Clwydian Range) Designation Order 1994 and the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Preseli) Designation Order 1994, which designated areas in Wales as environmentally sensitive areas.
In compliance with Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2078/92 (OJ No. L215, 30.7.92 page 85) (“the Council Regulation”) this Order amends each of the Orders named above by detailing the requirements in relation to public access (articles 2 to 7 and the Schedule) which may be included in management agreements made under section 18(3) of the Agriculture Act 1986 and the rates of payment to be made by the Secretary of State in such cases (articles 2 to 7). The said requirements in relation to public access form part of the zonal programmes made by the United Kingdom in accordance with Article 3 of the Council Regulation. Those programmes were approved by the European Commission in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation.
This Order also amends the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Cambrian Mountains—Extension) Designation Order 1987 by providing that a management agreement shall include a requirement that a farmer will not damage or destroy any feature of historic interest in farming the land (article 2(5)).
