This Order amends the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (North Peak) Designation Order 1993 ("the principal Order") which designated an area in the North Peak as an environmentally sensitive area.

Subject to a saving provision, the Order amends the rates of payments to be made by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food pursuant to a management agreement made under section 18(3) of the Agriculture Act 1986 (articles 5(1), (3)(b), (4) and 7(1)). The Order also provides for the Minister to make additional payments where a management agreement includes a requirement to add top-wiring to walls and specifies the rate of such payments (article 5(2)).
Article 5(3)(a) and (c) deletes the references, in article 6(2) of the principal Order, to Schedule 3 of that Order and to the rate of the additional payment to be made where an agreement includes provisions relating to managed woodland in accordance with that Schedule. Accordingly, the definition of "managed woodland" in article 2(1) of the principal Order, and Schedule 3 to the principal Order (ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS-II (MANAGED WOODLAND)) are deleted (articles 4 and 6(1)). These amendments do not apply in relation to agreements made on or before the date on which this Order comes into force (article 7(2)).
The Order makes an amendment to the list of operations, in Schedule 4 to the principal Order, that may be included in a "conservation plan" (as defined in article 2(1) of the principal Order) (article 6(2)).
