A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal found the site to The Bredon Hill Special Area of Conservation (SAC) be dominated by semi-improved grassland fields, lies c. 4.4km south of the site. with scattered mature trees, remnant patches of woodland and traditional orchard, and seasonally Based on what is known at present (survey work wet ditches/hedgerows to the north. A derelict is on-going), the following ecological features are bungalow is also present. envisaged to form the scope of assessment:

• Tiddesley Woods SSSI/LWS/Ancient Woodland • Traditional Orchard Habitat • Roosting bats • Foraging and commuting bats • Nesting birds • Invertebrates (including the locally significant Noble Chafer)

Comprehensive surveys, as well as consultation with relevant stakeholders (such as the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust) is ongoing to inform an evidence- based impact assessment of the proposed development.

The emerging proposed development layout has been designed to harness ecological opportunities while having regard to the constraints. A significant buffer is provided between residential areas and the Tiddesley Woods, and new semi-natural habitats will be created within a Country Park.

Significant green corridors will be provided on both north-south and east-west axes to mitigate the potential impacts to habitat connectivity. Existing fruit trees will be retained and augmented with new orchard planting, thereby benefiting the locally significant Noble Chafer beetle which relies on this resource.

Walking, Cycling & Public Transport • The proposals seek to maximise the opportunity to travel by sustainable modes (walking, cycling and public transport);

• The pedestrian network within the development will be designed to tie in with, and improve upon existing pedestrian connections in the south-west of Pershore.

• New foot / cycle connections will be made into the neighbouring housing development to the east. This will provide accessible routes for future residents, as well as new connections for residents of Pershore through to Tiddesley Wood.

• The public rights of way that run through the development will be retained and enhanced.

• Pedestrian access will be also created from the A4104 Defford Road, and the current footway Fig 8 Accessibility of the site to local amenities on the north-western side of the A4104 will be extended to the proposed site access to provide safe, suitable access for those on-foot.

The proposed development site is located in Flood Zone 1 (low risk) hence it is not at risk of flooding from the River Avon.

The development has been designed to maintain the current surface water flow paths that run through the site and manage run-off from adjacent, higher land in order to reduce the amount of water that leaves the site.

Surface water flooding is known to be an issue in the local area affecting Defford Road and Three Springs Road. The measures that are proposed to protect the new development from surface water flooding and the proposed surface water drainage system will reduce the amount of water than can flow off the site in an uncontrolled manner by holding water in storage basins and controlling the rate of discharge. Sustainable drainage features will be used throughout the site. It is anticipated some reduction in the existing surface water flooding in the local area could be achieved.

Foul water from the proposed development will be discharged into the local sewerage system. Discussions are currently ongoing with Severn Trent Water to ensure that sufficient capacity is provided within their network to accommodate Examples from other developments of storage basins for surface the anticipated flows from the proposed development. water management

Country park, burial ground and community building The new country park will become a countryside centre increasing leisure and recreational opportunities in the local area. The proposal will enhance connectivity to existing walks including the Pershore Bridges Circular Walk and Millennium Way and linkage to PROW in Tiddesley Woods.

We are also proposing a new burial site, adjacent to Tiddesley wood in a beautiful and natural setting which will provide many years capacity for future burials. The existing burial ground to the east of the site is now full, a significant local issue we hope to help resolve.

We recognise that the Town Council is currently consulting on the need for a new community building for the town. Our proposals could incorporate a new community building, which Example of village hall at Oving, Buckinghamshire would be available to community groups and for events and would link to the new country park.

However, we welcome your comments and other suggestions so please complete a feedback form.
