    Reference: BA/2019/0002/FUL Location North end of Peto's Marsh, south of Burgh Pumping Station, Camps Heath, Oulton Broad Broads Authority Planning Committee 8 March 2019 Agenda Item No 8(i) Application for Determination Parish: Carlton Colville Reference: BA/2019/0002/FUL Target date: 2019 Location: North end of Peto's Marsh, south of Burgh Pumping Station, Camps Heath, Oulton Broad Proposal: Habitat creation, construction of new section of floodwall & re-use of dredged sediment to create wetland habitat. Applicant: The Broads Authority Recommendation: Approve with conditions Reason for referral Broads Authority application to Committee: 1. Description of Site and Proposal 1.1. Members will be aware of the on-going 20 year Broadland Flood Alleviation Project (BFAP). This has been implemented from 2001 and is nearing its final stages. An extensive planning application for flood improvement works within compartment 28 (Peto’s Marsh) was approved by the Broads Authority in April 2014 (BA/2014/0039/FUL). These flood defence works have been undertaken by contractors on behalf of the Environment Agency and the reinforced flood banks surround the application site which is a 2 hectares area within the wider compartment. 1.2. The site comprises a triangular piece of land located at the northern tip of Peto’s Marsh at the point where the River Waveney and Oulton Dyke meet and these waterways form the boundaries to the west and east respectively. In 2018, the Suffolk Wildlife Trust (SWT) purchased Peto’s Marsh as part of a wider land purchase scheme to extend the nature reserve at Carlton Marshes.

    SUFFOLK’S CHANGING COAST making space for wildlife and people Suffolk’s coastal habitats – valuable for wildlife Suffolk’s coast has a wealth of wildlife-rich grazing marshes and fen. These habitats support habitats including saltmarshes, mudflats, shingle some of Britain’s rarest and most attractive beaches, saline lagoons and sand dunes, as well wildlife, and many are specially protected by as coastal freshwater habitats such as reedbeds, national and international law. Black-tailed godwits by Gerald Downey (rspb-images.com) Black-tailed Suffolk’s coast needs action to: ■ promote the need for and benefits of habitat creation for wildlife and people ■ replace coastal habitats already lost to the sea through erosion and coastal squeeze ■ plan for the replacement of coastal habitats vulnerable to climate change ■ ensure that Suffolk’s estuary strategies, shoreline management plan and other plans provide clear guidance on planning for Black-tailed godwits winter on Suffolk’s estuaries habitat creation. including the Deben and the Orwell. Once extinct in the UK, avocets chose the Minsmere – valuable for wildlife Suffolk coast to return to breed in 1947 and are now a familiar sight. Minsmere RSPB nature reserve is famous for its wildlife, particularly birds. With a variety of habitats including reedbeds, grazing marshes and lagoons, it provides a year round bird spectacle – 327 species have been recorded there. Minsmere is well known as a place to see bitterns, marsh harriers and avocets. It is also valuable for other wildlife, including otters, water voles, flora and invertebrates.

  • English Nature Research Report
    Yatural Area: 23. Lincolnshire Marsh and Geological Significance: Notable Coast (provisional) General geological character: The solid geology of the Lincolnshire Marsh and Coast Natural Area is bminated by Cretaceous chalk (approximately 97-83 Ma) although the later Quaternary deposits (the last 2 Ma) give thc area its overall. charactcr. 'The chalk is only well exposed on thc south bank of the Humber, where quarries and cuttings providc exposures of the Upper Cretaceous Chalk. 'me chalk is a very pure limestone deposited on the floor of a tropical sea. During Quaternary timcs, the area was glaciated on several occasions and as a result the area is covered by a variety of glacial deposits, representing an unknown number of glacial ('lcc Age') and interglacial phases. rhe glacial deposits consist mainly of sands, gravels and clays in variable thicknesses. These are derived primarily from the erosion of surrounding bedrock and therefore tend to have similar lithological characteristics, usually with a high chalk content. The glacial deposits are particularly important because of the controversy surrounding their correlation with the timing and sequence in other parts of England, especially East Anglia. The Quaternary deposits are well exposed in coastal cliffs of the area. Key geological features: Coastal cliffs consisting of glacial sands, gravels and clays Exposures of Cretaceous chalk Number of GCR sites: Oxfordian: 1 Kimmeridgian: I Aptian-Rlbian: i Quaternary of Eastern England: 1 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~~ GeologicaVgeomorphological SSSI coverage: 'here are 2 (P)SSSIs in the Natural Area covering 4 GCR SlLs which represent 4 different GCR networks. The site coverage includes South Ferriby Chalk Pit SSSI which contains an important Upper Jurassic succession, overlain by Cretaceous deposits.

  • Kingfisher’S Summer Cruise 2020
    WE DIDN’T MEAN TO GO TO HARWICH KINGFISHER’S SUMMER CRUISE 2020 Kingfisher anchored off East head, Chichester harbour Introduction This was to be our second summer cruise in Kingfisher, which we acquired in Falmouth in 2019. We cruised in the West Country and the Scillies during August that year to find out what we had purchased, and then had her extensively refitted by Stirling & Son at Plymouth during the winter. So badly corroded were the keelbolts on removal that Will Stirling told us that he could only assume that the laws of gravity had been in abeyance for us during August! Her launch in March this year preceded the announcement of lockdown by exactly 4 hours, so back she went into her winter shed/tent until Whitsun, when we were able to get her back to Chichester harbour, to join Mikado, our 1904 Fife racing cutter. Kingfisher is a 1935 Clyde-built teak on oak 42ft Silver Leaf, in very original condition. She was advertised (correctly) as accommodating 2 in utter luxury, 4 in comfort and 8 at a pinch. With central heating and towel rails, hot and cold running water and all the mod cons behind the teak panelling, we went for the luxury option of two of us for cruising the rivers, lakes and canals of Europe, and the 8 berth variant for accommodating the racing crew of Mikado, which sleeps only 2 and has become just a bit too character-forming for us as a cruising platform for our advancing years. Kingfisher has modern engines and navionics, including auto pilot, radar and AIS.

Biodiversity refers to all of the natural world and all living organisms within it, including plants, animals, bacteria and micro organisms. The convention on biodiversity defines it as: “The variability among living organisms from all sources including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems” (Source: Natural England website). Introduction to the biodiversity distribution assessment Waveney District has a wide range of wildlife and habitats, including coastline, parkland, arable fields, rivers, hedges and woodlands. Many of these are extremely valuable in their own right and require protection and enhancement. These sites often also form part of a wider network of sites and wildlife corridors that increase the range of habitats that can support local wildlife. Networks of biologically valuable sites often have greater value than each of the sites individually. For this reason Waveney District Council wants to map ecological sites and networks to better understand how they can function alongside other types of green infrastructure. The Waveney District Council Biodiversity Audit was completed in 2007 by Suffolk Wildlife Trust. This biodiversity audit included officially designated sites, county wildlife sites and other sites that were considered to have ecological value.
