Dear Ms Davis,

Environmental Impact Regulations 2004

“For information about biodiversity conservation within the HM Prison estate.

Please could you provide:

a) a list of HM Prison land which has a statutory nature

conservation designation (e.g. SSSI, SAC) together with details of

biodiversity conservation work carried out by HM Prison service at

these sites

b) a list of other sites at which HM Prison service is carrying out

biodiversity conservation work, with details of the work being

carried out at these.”

.

I am sorry about the delay in responding to your request this is due to problems experienced since our recent move to the above address.

We had anticipated being able to provide you with a response by 19 November 2008 but I regret to say this has not been possible. We now aim to respond by 19 December 2008 if not sooner.

May I ask you to accept my apologies for the delay in providing you with a reply and thank you for your continued patience in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Dave Norris
