Box 12 Assessing the effects on the integrity of the site: a checklist example Does the plan or project have the potential to: — hamper or cause delays in progress towards achieving the site’s conservation objectives? — reduce the area, or quality, of protected habitat types or habitats of protected species present on the site? — reduce the population of the protected species significantly present on the site? — result in disturbance that could affect the population size or density or the balance between species? — cause the displacement of protected species significantly present on the site and thus reduce the distribution area of those species in the site? — result in a fragmentation of Annex I habitats or habitats of species? — result in a loss or reduction of key features, natural processes or resources that are essential for the maintenance or restoration of relevant habitats and species in the site (e.g. tree cover, tidal exposure, annual flooding, prey, food resources)? — disrupt the factors that help maintain the favourable conditions of the site or that are needed to restore these to a favourable condition within the site? — interfere with the balance, distribution and density of species that are the indicators of the favourable conditions of the site?
