It was understood that the land would be subject to a future planning application for new farm buildings and associated access within the southern part of the site to replace the existing buildings which would be lost through the construction of HS2. The site consisted of a large arable field with fencing at the east and west boundaries. The edges of the field consisted of rough grassland and ruderal vegetation. Earth mounds were present in association with the existing working farm buildings of Mullensgrove Farm, in the middle of the site on the western side. These were dominated by tall ruderal vegetation. A smaller fenced field in the western part of the site included species-poor grassland which was grazed by sheep at the time of the survey. All the habitats identified on site were considered to be of low ecological value. The site was considered largely unsuitable for protected and notable species, although species such as badgers, bats and birds may occasionally pass through or forage within the site. A very small pond was present on the northern side of the earth mounds associated with the existing farm buildings. In addition, two large ponds were present on land to the west of the site. It was therefore considered possible that amphibians, including great crested newts, could use the site. However, the proposed new farm buildings were expected to be built over 250m away from the nearest pond with potential to support great crested newts, which was not separated from the development area by significant dispersal barriers. It was therefore considered that, even if great crested newts were using the small pond on site and larger ponds to the west and north-west of the site boundary, the proposed works were unlikely to have a significant impact on this protected species providing reasonable avoidance measures were put in place during works. It was considered that no further surveys would be necessary prior to the proposed works providing reasonable avoidance measure for great crested newts are carried out during ground clearance and construction works. These are detailed within the report, along with other sensitive working measures to ensure that protected and notable species are not harmed by the proposed development works. 3 Ecological Appraisal 2014-12(02) Mullensgrove Farm, Curdworth 1. Introduction Instruction Ecolocation were commissioned by CT Planning to undertake an ecological assessment of an area of land at Mullensgrove Farm, Curdworth, Sutton Coldfield which was understood would be subject to a future planning application for replacement farm buildings for those to be lost through the construction of HS2. Survey Aims The aims of the survey were to: Provide a description of the habitats present on site Identify the potential for the presence of protected species on site Determine the need for further ecological surveys Assess the ecological impact of the proposals Identify any ecological constraints/opportunities on site Scope The survey sought to identify the potential for protected species on site including: Bats – suitable trees and natural features for roosting together with suitable foraging habitat. Birds – areas of habitat/structures that may be used for constructing a nest or for foraging. Reptiles – areas that could be used for insolation, shelter, foraging and breeding. Amphibians – suitable aquatic habitat for breeding and terrestrial habitat for shelter and hibernation. A Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) assessment was carried out on all waterbodies on site to assess the suitability for great crested newts. Badger (Meles meles) - areas that might be used for foraging and sett building. Incidental foraging signs, tree scratching, paths, latrines and setts were recorded if found (Harris et al., 1989). A 30m buffer of the whole site was also surveyed, where practicable, most of which was viewed from the site boundaries. Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) – evidence including droppings and suitable foraging and sheltering habitat. Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus) – suitable habitat such as arable fields and rough field margins together with individual animals. Harvest mouse (Micromys minutus) – evidence of the presence of suitable habitat such as arable fields and stiff-grassed meadows or the presence of nests. Invertebrates – areas of habitat that may be used for shelter, and include food plants and species suitable for egg-laying. Invasive species – evidence of species listed under Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). 4 Ecological Appraisal 2014-12(02) Mullensgrove Farm, Curdworth The lack of suitable waterbodies, such as rivers and ditches within or adjacent to the site resulted in the site being unsuitable for water vole, otter, white-clawed crayfish and notable fish, therefore these species were not included in the survey. The lack of suitable hedgerows connected to suitable structured woodland with flowering and fruiting species resulted in the site being unsuitable for dormice, therefore this species was not included in the survey. The lack of a diverse habitat mosaic including, woodland, riverbanks and farmland resulted in polecat being scoped out of this survey. 2. Site Site location The site (grid reference SP 191 939) was located between the Kingsbury Road and the M42, to the north-east of the village of Curdworth in Warwickshire. The site consisted of a large arable field, which was bordered by major roads, with an area of woodland to the north of the site. The existing farm buildings were not included within the survey. It was understood that the proposed works would involve erecting replacement farm buildings within the southern part of the site for those to be lost through the construction of HS2. 3. Legislation Bats All bat species in the UK and their roosts (places of shelter or rest) are protected from intentional and reckless disturbance and destruction under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as amended), the latter of which deems all UK bats as European Protected Species. This means that a derogation licence from Natural England is required in order to undertake works which would impact on bats or their roost sites. Birds All nesting birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), making it an offence to disturb any breeding birds from the time that they begin nest building until all the young have naturally fledged. Birds can nest in a range of habitats, from houses and outbuildings to hedgerows, trees and scrub vegetation. Some species of birds, including several species associated with farmland, build their nests on the ground. Reptiles and Amphibians Great crested newts and their habitats are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as amended), the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. Under this legislation it is an offence to capture, kill, disturb or trade individuals of this species, or to damage or destroy any breeding sites or resting places, which includes both aquatic and

  • APPENDIX B: LOCAL CONTEXT B.1. the Borough Is
    APPENDIX B – THE LOCAL CONTEXT - HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND LEISURE STRATEGY, GREEN SPACE STRATEGY, PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY, LEISURE FACILITIES STRATEGY NORTH WARWICKSHIRE BOROUGH COUNCIL APPENDIX B: LOCAL CONTEXT BACKGROUND B.1. The Borough is the Northernmost district in the county of Warwickshire. It has several large urban settlements on its doorstep, with the Borough lying between Birmingham, Solihull, Tamworth, Coventry, Nuneaton and Hinckley, all of which are growing areas. B.2. North Warwickshire itself is overwhelmingly rural in nature with approximately two thirds of its area designated as Green Belt. The population of the Borough is 62,124 (2011 Census), most of which is centred in the three main towns in the Borough: Atherstone, Coleshill and Polesworth. The rest of the population is dispersed throughout a number of smaller rural settlements. The dispersed nature of the Borough has particular implications for the provision of, and access to, services and facilities, particularly as public transport in limited, and not everyone has access to private transport. The population is predicted to grow from 62,700 in 2017, to 83,561 by 2031. (The projected growth in housing development of 5,280, plus 3,790 equates to 9,070 new homes by 2031. Assuming a minimum of 2.3 persons per household, this potentially equates to 20,861 new people in the Borough, who will need community facilities and services) B.3. Settlements range in size from Atherstone and Mancetter, with a population of 10,000 to small hamlets. Atherstone with Mancetter, Coleshill and Polesworth are the three market towns and are important to the health of the surrounding rural economy as they provide many services and facilities to the surrounding areas.
