Page 1 of 35 Prepared by Phil Smith 06/08/2020 REPORT ON REPORT ON BIODIVERSITY AT 2 MERIDEN CLOSE CANFORD CLIFFS POOLE DORSET BH13 7JT TO ACCOMPANY A PLANNING APPLICATION TO SEVERE THE NORTHERN GARDEN, DEMOLISH THE POOL HOUSE AND BUILD THREE TOWN HOUSES. Job Ref: Canford Cliffs House, 2 Meriden Close_28012020 Prepared by: Philip Smith Conservation Consultant 45 Normanhurst Avenue Queens Park Bournemouth Dorset BH8 9NN Date Action Version 25/03/2020 Initial Phase 1 appraisal 1 06/08/2020 Updated plans 2 Prepared by………Phil Smith………………..………. Page 1 of 35 Prepared by Phil Smith 06/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Instructions were received from Bayview Developments to inspect and advise on biodiversity 2 Meriden Close, Canford Cliffs, Poole, Dorset BH13 7JT to accompany a full planning application (not known) to severe the side garden and erect three new dwellings and associate parking and driveway on site. Grid Reference SZ 0577 8918. The survey of the site comprised a quick walk over Phase 1 habitat survey is provided. Standard techniques were used to search for the presence of biodiversity interests in the form of direct physical evidence, evidence of use in the form of faecal droppings, potential habitats and flora on site. Some trees on site are dead, and we believe no other trees will be removed. We believe that some previous work has been conducted to clear dead trees. A rapid Phase 1 habitat survey has been conducted of the garden. No protected or notable species were noted on site, biodiversity is considered to be low due to the amount of maintained ornamental garden on site and dominance of maintained amenity lawn. Flowers within the grounds are widespread and common, locally and nationally. The building is considered to hold negligible potential for bats. Enhancements in the new builds are recommended. Shrubbery is on site in the form of ornamental borders with some indigenous species. Recommendations have been made. The site has very limited potential for foraging bats during the spring and summer months. Bats are known to commute and forage in the nearby area. Recommendations are made. The site has potential for birds to nest during the spring and summer months in the small areas of shrubbery which will be removed. A number of birds that could this site are shown in the Dorset Environmental Records Centre database search to commute and forage in the nearby area. Recommendations are made. No evidence was noted of hedgehogs using the site. Hedgehogs are noted to be present within one kilometre of the site. Recommendations are made. No evidence was noted of badgers using the site. Badgers are noted to be present within one kilometre of the site. Recommendations are made. Reptiles have the potential to use the site in a wood pile. Recommendations are made. A small old damaged pond is located in the front of the site. Recommendations are made. The site falls within 5 kilometres of RAMSAR and SPA sites. The new BCP Authority is not party to the Dorset Biodiversity Appraisal Protocol. We will however, follow those guidelines and a Biodiversity Mitigation and Page 2 of 35 Prepared by Phil Smith 06/08/2020 Enhancement Plan is offered within this report to ensure biodiversity interests are protected and enhanced. This report is valid for a maximum of three years. Should plans change we must be afforded the opportunity to update this report and associated Biodiversity Mitigation Plan. Page 3 of 35 Prepared by Phil Smith 06/08/2020 Introduction INSTRUCTIONS Instructions were received from Bayview Developments to inspect and advise on biodiversity 2 Meriden Close, Canford Cliffs, Poole, Dorset BH13 7JT to accompany a full planning application (not known) to severe the side garden and erect three new dwellings and associate parking and driveway on site. Grid Reference SZ 0577 8918. The survey of the site comprised a quick walk over Phase 1 habitat survey is provided. Location INSPECTION A Phase 1 site inspection took place on 24th January 2020 with an update inspection on 4th August 2020. THE CONTRACTOR Phil Smith is a licensed bat warden and I have been conducting surveys for Natural England for some 15 years. He holds Class 15, 17 and 18 licences to survey for bats and licences to survey for Barn owl, Great crested newts, Smooth snake, Sand lizard and White clawed Cray fish. He holds a number of European Protected Species licences for bats where Natural England have granted them with Phil being the named ecologist. He has assisted a PhD student from Bristol University as a volunteer helper conduct research into Bats in the Landscape on the Isle of Purbecks. EXISTING USE OF SITE A swimming pool house exists on site. The landscaped and manicured garden has an area of amenity lawn, poor ornamental borders and hardstanding. Page 4 of 35 Prepared by Phil Smith 06/08/2020 PROPOSED USE OF THE SITE It is proposed to erect three new dwellings and associate parking and driveway on site, - full planning application to be advised. See Appendix III. Page 5 of 35 Prepared by Phil Smith 06/08/2020 Legislation and policy The BERN Convention (The Convention on the conservation of European Wildlife and natural Habitats) was adopted in 1979 and came into force in 1982. As a result the European Community adopted the EC Habitats Directive. All British bats are listed under Appendix III of the Bern Convention, and Annex IV of the EC Habitats Directive. Bats and their habitat are listed under Appendix II of the Bonn Convention obligating the UK to protect their habitat. All bat species are specially protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and as a result it is illegal to: Intentionally kill, injure or take bats; Deliberately disturb bats; Damage, destroy or obstruct access to bat roosts. Additionally, the Conservation (and Habitats and c.) Regulations, 1994 (as amended in 2007) protects bats under Schedule 2. In 2000 the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 was enacted to increase the legislative powers so that reckless acts were included. The Government’s objectives for planning are: • to promote sustainable development by ensuring that biological and geological diversity are conserved and enhanced as an integral part of social, environmental and economic development, so that policies and decisions about the development and use of land integrate biodiversity and geological diversity with other considerations. • to conserve, enhance and restore the diversity of England’s wildlife and geology by sustaining, and where possible improving, the quality and extent of natural habitat and geological and geomorphological sites; the natural physical processes on which they depend; and the populations of naturally occurring species which they support. • to contribute to rural renewal and urban renaissance by: – enhancing biodiversity in green spaces and among developments so that they are used by wildlife and valued by people, recognising that healthy functional ecosystems can contribute to a better quality of life and to people’s sense of well-being; and – ensuring that developments take account of the role and value of biodiversity in supporting economic diversification and contributing to a high quality environment. The planning system has a significant part to play in meeting the Government’s international commitments and domestic policies for habitats, species and ecosystems. Planning Policy Statements (PPS) set out the Government’s national policies on different aspects of planning in England. PPS9 sets out planning policies on protection of biodiversity and geological conservation through the planning system. This has now been replaced by the National Planning Policy Framework, issued in March 2012. The Government’s objectives for planning with regard to bio-diversity and conservation are set out in Section 11 and extracts are shown below. We can only Page 6 of 35 Prepared by Phil Smith 06/08/2020 show extracts relevant to Conservation and Bio-diversity. Please see www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/2116950.pdf for the full framework. Conserving and enhancing the natural environment. The planning system should contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment by: Protecting and enhancing valued landscapes, geological conservation interests and soils; Recognising the wider benefits of ecosystem services; Minimising impacts on biodiversity and providing net gains in biodiversity where possible, contributing to the Government’s commitment to halt the overall decline in biodiversity, including by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures; In preparing plans to meet development needs, the aim should be to minimise pollution and other adverse effects on the local and natural environment. Plans should allocate land with the least environmental or amenity value, where consistent with other policies in this Framework. Local planning authorities should set criteria based policies against which proposals for any development on or affecting protected wildlife or geodiversity sites or landscape areas will be judged. Distinctions should be made between the hierarchy of international, national and locally designated sites, so that protection is commensurate with their status and gives appropriate weight to their importance and the contribution that they make to wider ecological networks. Set out a strategic approach in their Local Plans, planning positively for the creation, protection, enhancement and management of networks of biodiversity and green infrastructure To minimise impacts

  • 135. Dorset Heaths Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 135. Dorset Heaths Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 135. Dorset Heaths Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Sandbanks to Southbourne England Coast Path: Kimmeridge to Highcliffe - Natural England’S Proposals
    www.gov.uk/natural-england Chapter 5: Sandbanks to Southbourne England Coast Path: Kimmeridge to Highcliffe - Natural England’s Proposals Part 5.1: Introduction Start Point: Sandbanks Ferry (grid reference: SZ 0372 8706) End Point: Southbourne promenade (grid reference: SZ 1538 9102) Relevant Maps: 5a to 5h Understanding the proposals and accompanying maps: The Trail: 5.1.1 Follows existing walked routes throughout, including public rights of way and promenades. 5.1.2 Follows the coastline quite closely and maintains views of the sea except for a short section at Sandbanks where it passes behind some buildings (see map 5a). 5.1.3 Is aligned on the beach for two short sections at Sandbanks (see maps 5a and 5b), in order to maintain views of the open sea. 5.1.4 This part of the coast includes the following sites, designated for nature conservation or heritage preservation (See map C of the Overview). Poole Harbour Special Protection Area (SPA) Solent and Dorset Coast proposed Special Protection Area (pSPA) Poole Bay Cliffs Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its geological /wildlife interest We have assessed the potential impacts of access along the proposed route (and over the associated spreading room described below) on the features for which the affected land is designated and on any which are protected in their own right. 5.1.5 The levels and patterns of public access along this length of coast would be unlikely to change significantly as a result of our proposals and we have therefore concluded that our proposals would not be likely to have any significant impact on these features.

  • Annex Ii: Detailed Environmental Baseline
    ANNEX II: DETAILED ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE 1.1 The Water Environment The following section provides an overview of the water environment associated with the Poole and Christchurch Bays SMP2 which takes into consideration wave, tidal and coastal processes, water quality (both freshwater and marine) and key recourse activities. 1.1.3 Waves Most waves that reach the Dorset coast have been generated by winds blowing over the Atlantic Ocean. Their size depends upon the strength of the wind, its duration (the length of time the wind has been blowing at that speed), and the fetch (the distance of sea over which the wind blows) (DCDA, 2009). Waves from the southwest have a fetch in excess of 4000 km, whereas waves from the south or east-south-east have very restricted fetch (120 km and 240 km respectively). As a result, waves generated from the southwest are able to attain greater size than those from other, less-exposed directions (DCDA, 2009). Waves with heights over 8m have been recorded along the Dorset coast, but most waves are much smaller. The maximum wave height (H max) for a given period of time is very important for the design of coast protection and flood defence schemes, harbours, and oil and gas offshore platforms. On 14th October 1976, a wave recording buoy off Bournemouth recorded a wave with a height (H max) of 8.3m. The SMP for Poole and Christchurch (Halcrow Maritime, 1999) provides detailed information about wave heights and energies, which are important for assessing both the movements of sediment alongshore and the wave energy to which beaches and coastal structures may be exposed.

    Full Name Organisation Details Comment ID Question 1 - The draft SPD provides an approach to planning for the future of the seafront. Please let Key Points us know your views on this approach. Mrs J Prett 62 I have just discovered the council's seafront plan by chance & am surprised it has not been made more Not well publicised. readily available to the people of Poole nor has it made people aware of what is planned? How many more Appreciate the need to people do not know about this? Whilst I realise we have to 'move with the times' I think that much of our move with the times but beach and coastal areas are beautifully natural and by erecting ultra modern buildings in various places not all the beaches should mentioned in the draft - will detract from the character of the residential and quiet beach areas. Do they all be made busy and noisy have to be made busy and noisy with loads of activity areas? with activity areas.
