Commentary on Sections Part 4: Sites of special scientific interest (SSSIs) Section 56: Denotification
159.This section amends section 28D of the 1981 Act to allow the relevant conservation body to denotify a site of special scientific interest, or part of a site, where it is “not” of special interest. Before this amendment, denotification could only take place if a site, or part of it, was “no longer” of special interest.
