Data on the Cessation of Turf Cutting Compensation Scheme Statistics for SACs dataset, updated to 2021, indicates that there were 228 applications for the compensation scheme for Bellanagare Bog, of which 21 applicants requested relocation. There were 152 legal agreement payments recorded, turf deliveries were made to 12 applicants in year 6 of the scheme, 161 applicants received payment in year 6 of the scheme and 106 applicants received payments in year 7 of the scheme. An investigation into peat-cutting on SAC sites carried out in 2022 showed that cutting was being carried out at the active raised bog at Bellanagare Bog SAC between 2012 and 2021, with 13 plots cut in 2012, increasing to 40 plots in 2017 and decreasing to 11 plots cut in 2021.

expected to be restorable by drain blocking (a standard method of rewetting and restoring bogland). With the 49.6 hectares of active raised bog, this allows for a target potential active raised bog area of 123.4 hectares. A further 15.7 hectares of bog-forming habitat is estimated to be restorable from the cutover area of the bog, giving a final target of 139.1 hectares. The conservation of the site should also include restoration of the habitat distribution, including the central and subcentral ecotope, active flush and the soak system. The area of high bog at the site should be maintained at 879.1 hectares or to an area required for development and maintenance of the active raised bog.

habitats. The restoration of these transitional areas between the high bog and adjacent mineral soils is a further conservation objective. Regarding restoration of the quality of vegetation at the
Bellanagare site, 69.6 hectares of the central ecotope, active flush, soaks and bog woodland should be restored so that at least 50% of the active raised bog habitat is of high quality. The presence of active flush, indicating high quality active raised bog, should be maintained. This site includes active flush: the mid-eastern aspect of the bog includes a flush which consists of an infilling lake or soak, with 76-90% Sphagnum cover.

The judgment ruled that the assessment that the development would not impact the geese (which were typically not using that site at the time of judgment) did not sit well with the terms of the SPA conservation objectives and that any development should consider protected species currently at the site but should also not adversely affect the potential future return of the species to the site.

303:”For a raised bog, Bellanagare Bog is floristically unusual, supporting species typically found on raised bogs as well as species more usually found on blanket bogs. Bellanagare Bog is of considerable scientific and conservation significance, in particular for its status as an intermediate raised bog, but also for the wide variety of flush types found, as well as for its large size and for the presence of scarce plant species. Raised bogs are rare and threatened in Europe, and are listed as a priority habitat on Annex I of the E.U.
603:"the Board failed to properly apply the relevant provisions of Article 6(3) in not carrying out any or any proper or sufficient screening for appropriate assessment, in spite of the expression of reasonable scientific doubt of the possible impact of the development on the neighbouring Bellanagare Bog SPA, on the restoration of favourable conservative status there for the geese. The Board failed to consider and address whether the development may influence any potential future return of the geese to the Bellanagare Bog SPA."

Natural Heritage Area (NHA) sites was implemented, initially including SAC sites but extended in 2014 to include NHA sites. This scheme included options for people with turf-cutting rights on these sites which included:
