1. Introduction
Atkins Limited was commissioned by Cambridge County Council to undertake an ecological constraints assessment as part of the feasibility study into the Chisholm Trail cycleway, Cambridge. An extended Phase 1 habitat survey was undertaken, to highlight ecological features and map existing habitats enabling overall nature conservation evaluation and noting potential constraints. The Chisholm Trail is intended to provide a direct link from Milton Road to the railway station following the path of the railway as closely as possible. No information has been provided regarding preferred routes for the new cycleway. A large study area was provided and a broad survey area was used to highlight any possible ecological issues within it in order to inform the selection of a route for the cycle way. The study area is shown on the Phase 1 habitat plans in appendix 1. This report provides details of: . desk study was undertaken to obtain records of protected and notable species, statutory and non-statutory sites within the study area and up to 1km form its boundary; . Extended Phase 1 habitat survey of the study area undertaken on the 16th and 17th of April 2009; . an assessment of ponds within 500 m and habitat in the study area for suitability for use by great crested newts; . identification of likely constraints associated with study area; . details of the further survey work which may be required relating to the habitats in the study area; . conclusions and recommendations

2. Methodology 2.1 Desk Study The MAGIC (Multi Agency Geographical Information for the Countryside) website (www.magic.gov.uk) and the Natural England website (ww.natureonthemap.org.uk) were used to identify all statutory designated sites of importance for nature conservation within 1km of the site, and 2 km up and down stream of the river Cam. Ordnance Survey maps were used to identify the presence of any ponds within 500 m of the application site. Great crested newts, a European Protected Species, can use suitable terrestrial habitat up to 500 m from a breeding pond1 although latest research suggests that newts are likely to travel no more than 250 m from ponds when suitable habitats for foraging and hibernation exist within this distance around their pond2. As a precaution, the search area for water bodies covered a 500m zone around the application site so that this information could be taken account of during further assessment following the site visit. It must be noted that the search for ponds did not include garden ponds as these rarely show up on Ordnance Survey maps. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Biological Records Centre (CPBRC) were contacted for information relating to non-statutory designated sites of nature conservation importance and legally protected and notable species records within 1 km of the study area. The UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) website (http://www.ukbap.org.uk/default.aspx) was reviewed for priority species and habitats within the UK and Cambridgeshire BAP to determine which of these are present (or may be present) within the boundary of the proposed works. 2.2 Field Survey A walk-over ecological survey of the site and its immediate surrounds was undertaken on 16th and 17th of April 2009 broadly following the ‘Extended Phase 1’ methodology as set out in Guidelines for Baseline Ecological Assessment (Institute of Environmental Assessment 1995). The extended Phase 1 habitat survey provides information on the habitats in the survey area and appraises the intrinsic value of the habitats of the site and the immediate adjacent lands and its ability to support notable fauna. The extent of the study area is shown on the Phase 1 habitat plans in Appendix 1. The plans in Appendix 2 identifies areas within the study area where direct access was not available and web based aerial photographs from the multimap site were used to gain an idea of these areas habitats. Preliminary investigations were also undertaken in respect of the presence of legally protected species: . search for potential roosting sites for bats, such as trees, bridges and buildings with suitable features; . checks were made for the presence of water bodies in or immediately adjacent to the study area to the site and their potential to support great crested newts asses using a habitat suitability index (HSI); . assessment of habitats for nesting birds including the buildings and vegetation in the study area; . the suitability for watercourse to support water vole;

. the suitability of habitats in the study area to support other protected or notable species such as badger; . the site was surveyed for the presence of injurious or invasive weeds. Limitations to Survey Ecological surveys are limited by factors which affect the presence of plants and animals such as the time of year, migration patterns and behaviour. The ecological survey of this site has not therefore produced a complete list of plants and animals and the absence of evidence of any particular species should not be taken as conclusive proof that the species is not present or that it will not be present in the future. Nevertheless, the results of this ecological survey have allowed an evaluation of the likely use of the site by legally protected species and the requirement for further survey and/or mitigation works for these species depending on the route of the preferred option. During the Atkins field survey in April 2009 some sections of the study area were not accessible such as private land (housing and industrial) and rail track. Every effort was made using bridges and vantage points to visually asses these areas. In addition, aerial photograph were used to gain an assessment of the habitat types present. Gardens and private property was not accessible for survey during however as the proposed cycle route will not affect these this will not be included in the study. Once the route is confirmed some of the areas may require specific access arrangements in order to assess the habitats further, these are detailed in the section 4 below.

3. Existing Conditions 3.1 Desk Study Statutory Sites The desk study highlighted three statutory sites, Local Nature Reserves (LNR). One of the LNR’s falls within the study area and therefore is described within the target notes below. The three sites identified are set out in the table below: Table 1: Designated Sites within 1km of the site

Non-Statutory Sites The records from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Biological Records Centre highlighted, three County Wildlife Sites, two of which are within the study area. In addition to this 17 City Wildlife Sites were highlighted within 1km of the study area, six of these are within the study area. Table 2: Non-statutory sites

These sites collectively present a wide range of different habitats, full details supplied by the records centre is presented in appendix 3. Protected and Notable Species The record search provided a large amount of species data, the majority of which comprises of bird records. This data is attached in appendix 3, with the pertinent information, at this stage in the feasibility study is picked out below. One record of great crested newts was supplied by the records centre. This is an old record from 1985 and is 635 m west of the study area separated from the study area by an area of housing and industrial land. Seven records of water voles were provided. Three of these were outside the study area, but along ditches which connect to the river or other in the study area, and the rest are within the study area. A large number of bat records were provided including the species Daubentons, noctule, serotine, soprano pipistrelle, unidentified pipistrelle, and one unidentified bat. However none of these records contained accurate location data or distinction between activity or roost, hence from this information we can only surmise that the species given occur within 10km of our study area. A large number of bird records were supplied. The majority of these were only accurate to 1km grid square, and therefore limits our interpretation of the presence of the records within the search area. Of the records supplied, the following Schedule 1 species were listed; Barn Owl, Black Redstart, Black-tailed Godwit, Brambling, Common Crossbill, Common Green shank, Common Kingfisher, Dartford Warbler, Eurasian Golden Oriole, Eurasian Hobby, Eurasian Marsh Harrier, Eurasian Honey-Buzzard, Eurasian Serin, Fieldfare, Firecrest, Great Bittern, Green Sandpiper, Merlin, Osprey, Peregrine Falcon, Red Kite, Redwing, Stone Bunting, Stone-curlew, Whimbrel and Whooper swan. The wide range of bird records provided reflects the wide variety of habitats available within the study area which have potential to be used by birds. Some of these species are unlikely to use the habitats in the study area regularly (eg Dartford warbler and stone curlew). However, the loss of any habitat should include an assessment for birds, when the preferred route is chosen. Details of the legislation, including protection given to Schedule 1 bird species, is provided in Appendix 4. 3.2 Field Survey
3.2.1 Habitats The study area covers a large area in the city of Cambridge from the railway station north close to the tracks for approximately 3.4 km. The study area is shown, and points of interest target noted within three Phase 1 habitat plans in appendix 1. As the route of the cycle path is not known broad habitat types have been given to the whole of the study area. 5078644/Option Assessment Report - Appendix C - Ecology 8 Report V2.doc
Ecological Report
The broad habitats types are described below any areas of particular interest are listed as target notes in appendix 1.
Industrial and housing Approximately two thirds of the study area is either industrial (including retail) or residential land use. The majority of this area is hard standing or buildings, there are a few small amenity planting strips in industrial areas and some of the housing contains gardens. The gardens of housing can provide valuable habitat for wildlife. Some of the residential streets have tree planting, these trees are mostly semi mature and immature trees of ornamental species. Railway line No direct access was available to the railway line, vantage points were used to gather habitat information. The areas not sufficiently visible while on site are marked on the plans in appendix 2. The majority of the length of the tracks are stone chips, and fenced mostly onto industrial units or housing. Narrow strips of tall herb with scattered scrub area present between the rail tracks and the fence. In the area around Mill Road bridge west of it, towards the station is an area of railway sidings, with some prefabricated buildings. There are small areas of species poor grassland, which had been cut, between the tracks both east and west of Mill Road bridge. East of the bridge at either side of the track are two boarded sheds which have bat potential and a mature trees also with bat potential (TN1, appendix 1). Around Coldham’s Lane bridge, adjacent to the track, there is scrub and tall herb. In addition north of the line on the west side of the bridge is a small number of stems of Japanese knotweed (see phase 1 habitat plan appendix 1) and Himalayan balsom (see below). In the east or the study area the amount of scrub increases and there are areas of continuous scrub and developing woodland, especially where it crosses Stourbridge Common. East of the River Cam visual inspection of the study area is possible, however there is continuous areas of scrub and developing woodland to most for this area (from aerial photographs) of the study area where the disused sidings are becoming a self set woodland. Water bodies Within the study area there are three interconnected ditches or brooks, including Coldham’s Brook which is a city wildlife site, (other not named on available maps), the River Cam and 3 ponds. The River Cam (a county wildlife site) crosses the study area near Stourbridge common. In this area, the banks of the river are grassed with some tall herb species with paths down both sides of the river. There are trees on the banks some of which are mature and have bat potential, see phase 1 habitat plans and TN 8, appendix 1. The running ditches and brooks within the study area are all interconnecting and feed into the River Cam. Where the ditch passes through Stourbridge Common (a city wildlife site), it is up to 2.5m wide and leads on to open wet grassland with Typha and other water plants within it. As the ditch runs through private land towards Coldham’s Common ( a county wildlife site), (TN3 appendix 1), where it meets Coldham’s Brook, its banks become more sheltered and covered by immature trees, including willow, hawthorn, and ash and goes through patches of developing woodland. There are three ponds in the study area, one at Bramble Fields LNR, TN 10 (appendix 1), and two adjacent to Coldhams Common. The pond at the Bramble Fields LNR is small (10 m by 7 m) and scored 0.75 on the HSI which is good suitability for use. It has been planted with a variety of emergent and submerged plants. It has a viewing platform. During the site surveys good range of
5078644/Option Assessment Report - Appendix C - Ecology 9 Report V2.doc
Ecological Report
insect flora was observed, including fly larvae, water boat-man, pond skaters and greater diving beetles. In addition to this, smooth newts seen within the pond during the walkover survey. There is a pond within Coldham’s Common, TN 4, appendix 1, which scored a HSI of 0.73 which indicates a high suitability to support great crested newts. It is linear ditch with no water flow. It was dry in some areas and has a good range of aquatic plants. Anecdotal evidence from a member of the public suggested it contained newts. There is a large private fishing lake adjacent to Coldham’s Common, TN 5, appendix 1, which scored a HSI of 0.22 which indicates a low suitability to support great crested newts Waterfowl were seen to be present and small patches of typha around the banks The immediately surrounding banks contained planted developing deciduous woodland, and a small area of grassland( not accessed directly). Grasslands The two main areas of grassland within the study area are the commons, Stourbridge (a city wildlife site) and Coldham’s (a county wildlife site). These are semi-improved grasslands with mature trees within them. Large areas of both commons grasslands had wet areas containing rush and cook coo flour, which provided a mosaic of grasslands across them. These areas provide some good habitat for wildlife as well as amenity value and as such are described in the target notes below. Within the residential areas there are a few small areas of amenity grass and associated trees in park areas (see Phase 1 habitat plans, appendix 1). Invasive species Small stands of Japanese knotweed were identified at the on the rail track and within amenity planting around Mill Lane bridge. These are highlighted on the phase 1 habitat plans, Appendix 1. Adjacent to the Japanese knotweed on the rail track was also some Himalayan balsam. 3.2.2 Protected and Notable Species The study area contained a range of habitats that could support some protected species including grassland, scrub, tall herb and woodland, these habitats make up approximately one third of the study area Bats There were a number of mature trees, older buildings, and bridges within the study area which had features which potentially could be used by bats to roost. The trees with the most potential to be used are marked on the Phase 1 maps in appendix 1. The pill box at TN9 and sheds at TN1 are also highlighted as high potential. The bridges crossing the railway line within the study areas varied in construction. All but the pedestrian/cycle bridge, between Devonshire Road and Rustat Road near the station had some features that could potentially be used by bats. At TN 9 is a pill box within a small triangle of maturing woodland. Pillboxes can be very useful at bat roosts and this appeared to have slots in only one side, and therefore should not be draughty and could be used by bats. Birds The large number of bird records provided by the record centre (appendix 3) highlights the range of habitats available within the study area which can support birds. Within the study area are habitats such as scrub, trees, woodland, grassland, river, ponds and buildings which could support breeding birds schedule one, biodiversity action plan species (national and local). Any proposed route within the study area is expected to encounter breeding birds as even the housing and industrial land has suitable habitat for them.

Ecological Report
Great Crested Newts Two of the ponds TN 6 and 10 scored highly on the HSI and have potential to support great crested newts, both are set within good terrestrial habitat. The fishing lake had a low HSI and is considered unlikely to support great crested newts. Water vole The ditches and brooks within the study area all contained mud banks which have suitable food growing on them for water voles and therefore have potential to support a population. Large areas of the banks were accessible by the public and this disturbance may reduce the likelihood of use by water voles. However, there is some potential for their presence. Other protected species No other evidence of any protected species was identified in the study area during the survey. However, not all areas were accessible and should the proposed route use an area not visited directly then these areas checked for protected species, for example badgers. The section of the River Cam which crosses the study area had cleared grassed banks with little shelter for otters to use as sheltering habitat. However, otters are known to use the river for feeding and commuting, so potential effects on this species should be considered when the preferred route has been selected.

4. Potential Constraints, Mitigation and Further Survey 4.1 Potential Constraints The study area is large and no specific preferred routes have been identified at the time of writing. The ecological field survey and data gathering has identified a list of potential constraints within the study area which can used to inform the route of the proposed cycle path. The potential constraints within the study areas are as follows: . a number of mature trees within the study area have potential to support bats (shown on Phase 1 habitat plans); . Bramble Fields LNR (TN10); . the pill box (TN 9) has potential to support bats; . the four road bridges across the railway within the study area have features with potential to support bats; . there is potential for water voles within the interconnected ditches and brooks within the study area; . likelihood of nesting birds or notable birds in any scrub, grassland, trees, woodland and some buildings within the study area; . potential for great crested newts within all ponds within study area; . potential for effects on otters using the River Cam as a feeding and commuting route; . impact upon any of the County or City wildlife sites through direct loss of habitat for loss of connection to other sites/habitats (see Table 2 for details of sites within and adjacent to the study area); . presence of invasive species within study area; . potential for the route to dissect wildlife corridors present within the study area, for example Clodham’s brook or to denude a section of rail land of vegetation. 4.2 Mitigation and Further Survey As there is no preferred route for the cycleway at the time of writing it is not possible to prescribe detailed mitigation for the proposed new route. However the following principles of mitigation should be taken into account during the process of route selection. As not all of the study area was accessible at the time of survey, further more detailed surveys should be undertaken when the preferred route is chosen to identify specific issues to the route and confirm the appropriate level of further survey. Should the chosen route affect any of the constraints listed in relation to designated sites or protected species the following surveys may be required. Statutory and Non Statutory Sites There area a number of designated sites within the study area, detrimental work to any of these sites while building the proposed cycle route should be avoided. However should the proposed route disturb any of these sites, mitigation will be required. Replacement of like-for-like habitat, improvement of the site as a whole, or its connectivity to other such sites area all possible mitigation which may be necessary. Further more detailed survey may be required to determine the precise effects and design appropriate mitigation. 5078644/Option Assessment Report - Appendix C - Ecology 12 Report V2.doc
Ecological Report
Bats Should any of the trees, the four road bridges over the railway, or buildings which have been highlighted as having potential for use by bats as roost be affected by the proposed cycle lane further survey may be required. Surveys should conform to current guidelines. For a structure this will involve two emergence and re-entry surveys in mid-summer and late summer for each aspect of the building to establish if there are any bat roosts present. This will involve experienced surveyors being on site at dusk and dawn using bat detectors (and recording equipment if appropriate) to note bats entering/leaving the building and to note entry/exit points into the roof-space and numbers/species of bats present (if roosts are found). Survey work should follow Bat Conservation Trust survey guidelines (2007). Mitigation for loss of potential as well as actual bat roosts should be encouraged and opportunity could exist within the design to link feeding habitats or provide roosting opportunity, through the use of bat boxes along the route of the new cycleway. Great Crested Newts Two of the three water bodies identified within the study area have good potential to be used by great crested newts. If the proposed route requires works within terrestrial habitat within 250m of any of the ponds then presence absence surveys should be undertaken. Current English Nature guidelines (2001) guidelines suggest four presence/absence surveys to be undertaken evenly spaced between March and June. If great crested newts are found further two surveys are required in the same time frame to establish a population estimate, to allow for a licence application (should this be necessary). Birds The study area contains a wide range of interconnecting habitat types which provides great opportunity for use by a range of bird species, as highlighted by the number of records provided in the record search. When the route is chosen care should be made not to alter the character of a habitat or sever its links to other. An example of this is that brook and river edges should not be denuded of feeding perches used by kingfisher (a schedule 1 birds recorded in the study area), therefore removal of overhanging vegetation be kept to a minimum or replaced. Opportunity may exist within the design to create or strengthen links between habitats within the study area, such as increased tree planning on streets which would benefit birds. Any vegetation clearance, or the demolition of buildings/structures in which birds are nesting, will be undertaken outside the breeding season. The bird breeding season can be taken to run between the 1 February and 31 August (in practice, it is usually March to July and is subject to geographical and seasonal factors). Timing of the any vegetation clearance and or demolition of a structure should be undertaken outside the bird breeding season. Water voles and Otters There is the potential presence of water voles along the ditches and brooks within the study area. Should the proposed route involve disturbance to the banks or within 5m of these banks there is likely to be an impact on any water vole populations within the brook. Designs of any bridges should take this into account and canalisation of banks should be avoided within design process. Mitigation for impacts on the brook should included improving banks side vegetation and connections between good habitats along poor stretches of the brooks. As the interconnecting ditches and brooks have been shown potential to be used by water voles, should these be crossed of the banks within 5 m of them affected by the proposed route, a full survey of that area should be undertaken using standard survey techniques. Otter surveys should be undertaken at the same time of any watercourses that may be affected. Invasive species A small number of stands of Japanese knotweed were identified within the study area. Should the proposed route disturb ground within 5 m of any of these stands then precautions should be 5078644/Option Assessment Report - Appendix C - Ecology 13 Report V2.doc

undertaken not to spread this injurious weed. A small stand of Himalayan balsam was also identified, while this is not a injurious weed every effort should be made to avoid spread during works as it forms mono-cultures out competing native plants and therefore reducing biodiversity.

5. Conclusions
The study has been undertaken to inform the feasibility study for a proposed cycle route within Cambridge. No information was provided regarding preferred routes for the new cycleway. A large study area was provided and a broad survey area was used to highlight any possible ecological issues within it in order to inform the selection of a route for the cycle way. The habitats and structures within the study area have potential to support protected species namely: bats; breeding and notable bird; great crested newts; water voles; otters. The potential for these protected and notable species and the locally and regionally valuable habitats and their connections do present a number of constraints to any potential cycle routes through the study area; specific locations are listed in section 4.1, which is reproduced below and shown on the Phase 1 habitat plans drawings: . a number of mature trees within the study area have potential to support bats (shown on Phase 1 habitat plans); . Bramble Fields LNR (TN10); . the pill box (TN 9) has potential to support bats; . the four road bridges across the railway within the study area have features with potential to support bats; . there is potential for water voles within the interconnected ditches and brooks within the study area; . likelihood of nesting birds or notable birds in any scrub, grassland, trees, woodland and some buildings within the study area; . potential for great crested newts within all ponds within study area; . potential for effects on otters using the River Cam as a feeding and commuting route; . impact upon any of the County or City wildlife sites through direct loss of habitat for loss of connection to other sites/habitats (see Table 2 for details of sites within and adjacent to the study area); . presence of invasive species within study area; . potential for the route to dissect wildlife corridors present within the study area, or example Coldham’s brook or to denude a section of rail land of vegetation.
However following more detailed survey as necessary, appropriate mitigation could be incorporated within the detailed design and construction programme, in order to avoid any significant effects. There is also potential for the design of the cycle way to enhance wildlife habitats locally through initiatives such as increasing links within the current corridors. The areas where no access was available during the surveys, such as the railway sidings should be surveyed if a chosen route affects them.

Appendix 1 - Phase 1 Habitat Plans and Target Notes
Target notes below highlight key features within the study area or detail information not easily shown on the plans. The target notes are numbered from west to east within the study area.
Target note Description
1 Land within rail track close to Mill Road bridge. The rail track land around the bridge differs as it is more scrubby with tall herb. West of the bridge each side of the track are two disused single story sheds with boarded windows which have features such as gaps in masonry which provided potential for use by bats as a roost.
2 The land within the rail track around Coldhams road bridge is also more scrubby then the surrounding track. To the north west of the bridge visible from the foot bridge is a small area of Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam. The amenity planting south of the bridge either side of the road contains three further stands of Japanese knotweed.
3 Branch line of rail track cuts through Coldhams Common and across the brook here. The banks of the railway and the edge ditch in the common are developing woodland and scrub. 4 Non- flowing ditch. This varies in depth and width and some areas were almost dry. There is good emergent vegetation with water mint and willow herb. To one side is rough grassland and to the other a developing woodland. Anecdotal evidence from a dog walker suggests newts (species unconfirmed) are present in this ditch. 5 Fishing lake surrounded by scrub and planted woodland. There are areas of typha within the lake, and evidence it is well used. 6 This area is privately owned and as such was inaccessible, viewed from Newmarket road and aerial pictures looks like pasture land with hedgerows crossing. The ditch which runs through this area has woodland along it.
7 Small area of deciduous woodland very dense understory. The land within the rail track here is more scrubby than other sections also.
8 Section of bank of the River Cam which is wider then other areas with a number of mature willow pollards one of which has potential for use by bats. 9 Small triangle of mature woodland with dense ground flora. At junction of woodland and rail embankments concrete pill box with open slits providing suitable roosting opportunity for bats.
10 Bramble LNR, this former allotment area is a mosaic of plantation woodland, scrub, tall herb and small section of grassland. There are a number of swings and climbing frames within the woodland and the area is obviously well used with many desire lines as well as the paths. In the corner is a pond of which has been planted with a variety of emergent species and has a dipping platform. Smooth newts were seen using the pond during the survey. 11 Large area of allotments, which appear to be all in use and well kept.
12 Area of rail track not accessible, from aerial photographs this area is
5078644/Option Assessment Report - Appendix C - Ecology 17 Report V2.doc

Target note Description scrub and developing woodland which is dense in some areas.
13 Entrance track to allotments with grassland planted with immature ornamental trees.
14 Disused rail way tracks which have been colonised by a number of species of scrub, tall herb and ornamental plants. Three are open area on the former ballast and this type of habitat is valuable because of its mosaic of vegetation and stones for butterflies and moths.

1Deliberate capture or killing is taken to include “accepting the possibility” of such capture or killing
2Deliberate disturbance of animals includes in particular any disturbance which is likely to impair their ability- to survive, to breed or reproduce, or to rear or nurture their young; or in the case of animals of hibernating or migratory species, to hibernate or migrate; or to affect significantly the local distribution or abundance of the species to which they belong. Lower levels of disturbance, not covered by the Conservation Regulations, remain an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, however a defence is available where such actions are the incidental result of a lawful activity.
