3.2 Description of the Area

  3.2.1 The application must contain the location of the proposed area, including the geographic co-ordinates and a chart on which the area is marked. A buffer zone, which is an area contiguous to the site-specific or core feature of the proposed PSSA, may be included within the boundaries of the PSSA; however, the need for such a zone should be justified as to how it contributes to the protection of the core area.
