You asked for:
The Stodmarsh Special Area of Conservation (SAC) was designated as a a SAC
due to the presence of the Desmoulin's whorl snail (Vertigo moulinsiana).

The Desmoulin's whorl snail (Vertigo moulinsiana)is identified as living
beside ditches within pasture on the floodplain of the River Stour, This
is only a small area of the SSSI.

Please provide plans of:

a) the land that forms the habitat of the Desmoulin's whorl snail (Vertigo
moulinsiana) at the Stodrmarsh Nature reserve
b) the distribution of the Desmoulin's whorl snail (Vertigo moulinsiana)
at the Stodrmarsh Nature reserve.

Please also provide any evidence held by Natural England that the
Desmoulins whorl snail is affected by elevated levels of Phosphorus and
Nitrogon

and that

recreational pressures affect the abundance and distribution of the
Desmoulin's whorl snail (Vertigo moulinsiana) at the Stodmarsh Nature
Reserve. This would effectively be studies on the impact of nature
conservation organisations and recreational twitchers) on this European

acknowledging your request for information -Reference Number:

Dear Stuart Hardwicke Carruthers

Environmental Information Regulations 2004 - Extension of time -
EIR2024/08892

I am writing to advise you that the time limit for responding to your
request for information under the Environmental Information Regulations
2004, which we received on 4 September 2024, needs to be extended.

The Regulations allow us 20 working days to respond to your request from
the date of its receipt. However, it is occasionally necessary to extend
the 20 working day time limit for issuing a response. In this case, we
regret that we must extend the time limit for responding by a further 20
working days to 30 October 2024, because of the complexity nature of the
request, although we hope to reply sooner.

Yours sincerely
