1.0 Introduction This report brings together work addressing the key potential landscape, heritage and ecology constraints that may influence the design of new transport routes between the proposed new settlement at Denny St Francis, Waterbeach and the A14 Cambridge Bypass. Two proposals are under consideration:  Realignment of the A10 between the proposed new settlement at Denny St Francis and the A14  Creation of a guided busway between the proposed new settlement at Denny St Francis and the A14 The study area comprises the zones shown on the following two plans provided by Capita Symonds (see Appendix 1):  Drawing number CS 00182/T/009 Waterbeach New Settlement Limit of Deviation A. (This relates to the A10 road realignment.)  Figure 2 Proposed busway corridor The studies have been carried out at a high level using desk based research and brief site visits, viewing the land from publicly accessible locations. Further research and detailed survey will be needed as the project develops. The results of the three studies are presented in separate appendices: Appendix 2 - Landscape notes Appendix 3 - Cultural Heritage Appraisal of the A10 Transport Options Corridor Appendix 4 - Ecological Appraisal of the A10 Transport Corridor This report summarises the main potential constraints identified by each study in order to inform the selection of preferred routes. The perceived level of constraint is defined as follows: High – Avoid. Likely to be a significant constraint. Medium – Avoid if possible. Low – Potential constraint but likely to be resolvable. The main constraints from the three studies are summarised in sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 below, and on drawing 3321_604_A in Appendix 5.

2.0 Appraisals

2.1. Landscape and visual Landscape and visual assessments of three proposed A10 upgrade route options were undertaken by LDA Design in 2005, summarising landscape character, heritage, conservation and visual constraints. Landscape notes based on GIS data, Tree Preservation Order (TPO) information provided by South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) and a site visit in 2012 are given on drawing number 3321_603_A in Appendix 2. The plan also identifies some potential constraints that do not strictly relate to landscape or visual issues, including land uses such as a cemetery, allotments and a golf course. The main constraint to development is the Green Belt which extends from Waterbeach to the A14. Section 9 of the National Policy Planning Framework (NPPF) sets out the Government's policy on Green Belts. This superseded Planning Policy Guidance 2: Green Belts (1995) (PPG2) but the fundamental aim and five purposes of Green Belts set out in PPG2 remain unchanged. The NPPF states that: ‘The fundamental aim of Green Belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open; the essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and their permanence.’ The road and guided busway have potential to affect the openness of the Green Belt. It is not possible for the routes to avoid the Green Belt and it is considered to be a Medium level constraint. Other constraints include:  Many dwellings, which are shown on drawing 3321_604_A which should be avoided if possible. They are identified as being a Medium level constraint if they are directly physically affected. Effects on residential amenity due to changes to views would be addressed in a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, although this is considered to be a Low level constraint.  Public footpaths running between Waterbeach and the A10. If directly affected, measures would be required to divert or maintain access along these paths. Effects on views from the paths would be addressed in a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment. This is considered to be a Low level constraint.  The cemetery pr0vides a constraint to be avoided if possible (Medium level constraint). If it is to be directly affected research would be required to identify how to mitigate effects or move the cemetery.  The village of Landbeach is a discrete settlement set within arable farmland and effects on its setting should be considered as part of development proposals. This is considered to be a Low level of constraint.  SCDC has confirmed that there are two TPOs within the study area (C/11/17/58/1 at Manor House, Waterbeach Road and SC/3/76 at Cambridge Road, Waterbeach). Although these have been identified as Low level constraints they should be avoided if possible. Other landscape / visual constraints are considered to be Low level.

2.2. Heritage The heritage study undertaken by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd is provided in Appendix 3. The main potential constraints identified in the report and summarised on drawing 3321_604_A are:  Three Milestones on the A10 (Listed Grade II) - Level of Constraint: High  Landbeach Conservation Area, Listed Buildings and Scheduled Monument - Level of Constraint: Medium to low (depending on route)  Waterbeach Conservation Area - Level of Constraint: Low  Car Dyke - Level of constraint: Low

2.3. Ecology The ecology study undertaken by LDA Design is provided in Appendix 4. The main potential constraint identified in the report and summarised on drawing 3321_604_A is:  Cambridge Road Willow Pollards County Wildlife Site - Level of Constraint: Medium The report identifies the potential for protected species within the study area including European Protected Species (EPS) and the need for further surveys. The presence and location of protected species would need to be identified by further survey. Protected species are considered to be Low level constraints because they can be readily be dealt with by design, subject to issues such as land availability if re-location or alternative habitat is required. EPS are also considered to be Low level constraints in this context as it is considered that solutions to address impacts are likely to be readily determined, but EPS will require a greater input into mitigation design than other protected species.

3.0 Conclusion None of the landscape, heritage and ecology constraints identified are ‘show stoppers’ to realignment of the A10 and creation of a guided busway between the proposed new settlement at Denny St Francis and the A14. This work can be used to help identify preferred routes, taking into account the constraints identified. Further more detailed survey and analysis work will be needed as the design progresses, to help inform detailed design and mitigation proposals.

1.0 Introduction

1.1. Site Description The site lies in the countryside to the north of Cambridge and encompasses land bordering a 13km stretch of the A10 from its junction with the A14 (TL469620) to the roundabout close to the Cambridge Research Park (TL485679). A further strip of land is located to the north of the A14 running from the Blackwell Caravan Site (TL456620) to the junction with the A10. The site runs to the west of the villages of Milton and Waterbeach.

1.2. Description of Project The realignment of the A10 and creation of a guided busway is proposed to support development of the proposed new settlement at Denny St Francis, Waterbeach. The precise location of the works has not yet been finalised.

1.3. Aims of Study This study aims to give an overview of the habitats present within the site and to outline any likely ecological constraints of the proposed works. This report will also make recommendations for the need for further survey work to fully determine the likely impacts of the works.

2.0 Methodology

2.1. Desk Study The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Environmental Records Centre (CPERC) was contacted to provide records of protected species and statutory and non-statutory designated sites within 3 km of the site. These records will provide an ecological framework on which to base our assessments. Multi-Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside (MAGIC)1 and Natural England’s Nature on the Map2 websites were searched for information on protected habitats within the field site. Further information on the site was gathered using aerial photography freely available on the internet.

2.2. Field Survey Due to access limitations, the site was investigated through an ecologist observing and recording the habitats visible from public access rights of way.

3.0 Results and Interpretation

3.1. Statutory and Non-statutory Sites – Desk Study Results

3.1.1. Statutory Sites The Cam Washes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) lies approximately 4km to the northeast of the study site. The SSSI is comprised of 166Ha of mixed habitat grasslands which are subject to seasonal flooding. The SSSI is important for breeding waders including snipe Gallinago galiinago, redshank Tringa tetanus, gadwall Anas strepera, teal A. crecca, and shoveler A. clypeata.

3.1.2. Non-Statutory Sites There are six County Wildlife Sites and four City Wildlife Sites within three kilometres of the study site and details of all sites are provided in Appendix 1. Of particular note to this study is the Cambridge Road Willow Pollards County Wildlife Site as it is located within the site boundary, close to the junction of Cambridge Road with the A10 (at approximately TL489651). This site is comprised of a small group of pollarded willows Salix spp. within a semi-natural setting. Two City Wildlife Sites border the study site at its southern edge, the Milton Road Hedgerows and the King’s Hedges Hedgerow. These sites are both designated due to the quality of the hedgerows present.

3.1.3. Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Habitats The Nature on the Map2 website records an area of Lowland Mixed Deciduous Woodland of approximately 8.5Ha within the site centred around TL487652. At the time of the survey some of the woodland had been recently cleared (Photograph 1). The area classified as deciduous woodland overlaps with a larger area which has been classified as Coastal, Floodplain Grazing Marsh2. According to the parameters provided by Nature on the Map2, approximately 19.5Ha of this priority habitat are located within the study site around a centrepoint of TL485653. An area which has been identified as Traditional Orchard lies within the boundaries of the site at TL4706292. According to Nature on the Map2 the orchard is approximately 0.4Ha in size; however, it may be that this area has been mis-identified or the habitat has been removed, as this area was found to contain only tall ruderal vegetation during the site visit (Target note 1) (Photograph 2).

3.2. Habitats within the Site – Field Survey Results Phase 1 habitat survey maps are provided in Drawings 3321_600 to 3321_602 and accompanying target notes are found in Appendix 2.

3321_A10_Ecology 6

July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach

Broadly speaking the landscape is rural in nature with arable fields intersected with farm buildings (Photograph 3), hedgerows (Photograph 4), wet ditches (Photograph 5) and small patches of woodland (Photograph 6).

3.2.1. Buildings Various isolated residential and commercial buildings are located throughout the site (see Target notes 2, 7, 8, 10, 13, 15 and 16) and Phase 1 habitat survey map; however, where the site overlaps with the west side of Waterbeach, there is an area of dense housing (Target note 4) and an industrial estate (Drawings 3321_600 to 3321_602).

3.2.2. Waterbodies In addition to the wet ditches previously mentioned, there are several significant waterbodies within the study site. There are two balancing ponds associated with the Milton Park and Ride (Photograph 7). There is a raised reservoir close to Rectory Farm (Target note 2). There are several lakes surrounded by woodland on the west side of the A10, between Landbeach and Waterbeach. The site boundary also bisects several lakes surrounded by trees and grassland within the Cambridge Research Park.

3.2.3. Roads The A14 dual carriageway and the large roundabout serving the A14, A1309 and A10 form the southern boundary of the site. The A10 runs north from this roundabout, passing to the west of Milton, Waterbeach and a disused airfield. The site encompasses land along both sides of the A10 from the roundabout to the south end of the Cambridge Research Park. As the proposed works include the realignment of the A10, the habitats present on each side of this road were noted in detail. The western verge of the A10 is mostly comprised of scattered scrub along arable field margins with some trees and some residential gardens. There is a bramble-covered wet ditch running along the western verge in the southern section of the site. The eastern verge has a greater diversity of habitats including broadleaved woodland, mature scrub, grassland and tall ruderal vegetation, hedgerows, bramble-covered ditches, and residential gardens.

3.3. Protected and Notable Species

3.3.1. Great Crested Newt Triturus cristatus The CPERC holds records of great crested newts approximately 90m to the west of the site, within Overbrook Farm. There are habitat corridors suitable for use by newts which link the farm to the study site including hedgerows and a wet ditch. In general the site contains habitat suitable for great crested newts in both their aquatic (breeding) and terrestrial life stages. Although further survey work will be required to assess the suitability of the waterbodies within the site for breeding newts, newts may be found within the standing water (lakes and ponds) and wet ditches present on site. There may also be further small waterbodies within the study site, such as ornamental ponds within residential properties, which may also support great crested newts which were not discovered during this survey. Great crested newts in their terrestrial phase could forage and shelter in the scrub, grasslands, gardens and hedgerows present within the site.

3321_A10_Ecology 7

July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach

3.3.2. Reptiles The site contains habitat suitable for protected reptiles. The waterbodies and associated grasslands, trees and scrub may be used by foraging and sheltering grass snakes Natrix natrix. The field margins, grassland, scrub, tall ruderal vegetation, and hedgerows may be used by slow worm Anguis fragilis and common lizards Zootoca vivipara. The CPERC holds records of common lizards in the disused airstrip bordering the site, but no records of grass snakes or slow worms within areas adjacent to the site.

3.3.3. Bats Much of the site could be used by foraging bats; however, the features considered likely to be the most significant for foraging bats are the large waterbodies, the wet ditches, the patches of woodland, and the hedgerows. Bats may be roosting within the buildings on site or within trees. The CPERC database reveals the presence of a diversity of bat species within the vicinity of the site including: Natterer’s Myotis nattereri, brown long-eared bats Plecotus auritus, soprano pipistrelles Pipistrellus pygmaeus, common pipistrelles P. pipistrellus, Daubenton’s Myotis daubentonii, noctules Nyctalus noctula, and serotine Eptesicus serotinus.

3.3.4. Badgers Most of the site is considered suitable for use by badgers Meles meles. The CPERC only provides badger records which have been degraded to a 10km accuracy, but badgers have been observed within the 10km grid square which encompasses the study site.

3.3.5. Water Voles and Otters The waterbodies within the site are suitable for use by otters Lutra lutra and water voles Arvicola amphibius. The CPERC holds records of water voles within the site. They have been found within a wet ditch to the east of the A10 and within a wet ditch between Waterbeach and Landbeach. The desk study revealed no records of otters within the site, but an otter spraint was found on the Cam River near the Cam Dyke, approximately 900m from the closest waterbody within the site (a wet ditch).

3.3.6. Birds The CPERC holds hundreds of records of birds observed within the site and its vicinity. Of particular note, due to the rarity of the bird species, the repetition of the sightings, and the likelihood of discovering the species within the site, are the following:  There are records of nesting barn owls Tyto alba in the vicinity of the site in Landbeach, Waterbeach and in the Cambridge Research Park.  Large flocks (hundreds of birds) of overwintering golden plovers Pluvialis apricaria have been observed within the lakes on the site to the west of Waterbeach and within the Cambridge Research Park.

3321_A10_Ecology 8

July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach

 Lapwing Vanellus vanellus are known to be resident within the site. Hundreds of birds have been observed throughout the year within the waterbodies and fields within the site. Breeding pairs have been observed in the lakes in the Cambridge Research Park. It is likely that the arable fields and lakes will provide over-wintering opportunities in the colder months, and breeding opportunities in the warmer months, to significant numbers of a variety of bird species, including rare waders. The fields, scrub, hedgerows and woodlands may provide nesting opportunities for birds in the spring and summer months.

3.3.7. Invertebrates The wet ditches may support significant numbers of aquatic invertebrates. No records of rare aquatic invertebrates within the site or vicinity are held by CPERC, however, these species are likely to be under-recorded.

3.3.8. Flora Rare plants may be found within the arable farmland or within the wet ditches. The CPERC hold records of a rare aquatic plant within a wet ditch approximately 800m to the west of the study site.

3.4. Limitations to Study Only land visible from public access roads was examined during the site visit. The remaining land has been assessed using aerial photography only. However, it is considered that enough of the land was examined to make robust judgements regarding the habitats present on site and the potential ecological constraints of the development.

4.0 Potential Ecological Constraints and Recommendations for Further Survey

4.1. Statutory and Non-Statutory Sites Although the site is known to include habitats which are important for breeding waders, which is the reason for the designation of the Cam Washes SSSI, it is thought that the Cam Washes is a sufficient distance (4km) from the site that the proposed works will not have an impact on the quality of the SSSI. Cambridge Road Willow Pollards County Wildlife Site (CWS) is located within the site boundary therefore there is a possibility that the proposed works will have a detrimental impact on this site. Cambridgeshire’s CWS’s are designated due to their conservation interest by the Wildlife Sites Partnership and are managed by the Cambridgeshire Wildlife Trust. Although CWS’s enjoy no statutory protection, the National Planning Policy Framework encourages the minimisation of impacts to biodiversity and to promote the preservation of local ecological networks (see Appendix 3). If possible, impacts to this site should be avoided during the proposed works. If the avoidance of impacts is not possible, then consultation with the Cambridgeshire Wildlife Trust should be undertaken to agree on a strategy of mitigation and/or compensation. The Milton Road Hedgerows and King’s Hedges Hedgerow City Wildlife Sites both sit on the southern border of the study site. It is considered unlikely that the proposed works will impact these sites as the hedgerows for which they are designated will not impacted. No other statutory or non-statutory sites are considered likely to be impacted by the proposed works.

4.2. Habitats According to Natural England’s Nature on the Map website2 there are pockets of several Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Priority Habitats within the study site; however, our field survey found that the area designated as Lowland Mixed Deciduous Woodland had been cleared, and the area designated as Traditional Orchard contained only tall ruderal vegetation. Further survey targeted to the areas designated as BAP Priority Habitats should be undertaken to evaluate if BAP Priority Habitats are present within the site.

4.3. Protected and Notable Species

4.3.1. Great Crested Newt It is considered likely that great crested newts will be present within the site as 1) great crested newts have been found in the vicinity of the site, and in areas with possible corridors for dispersal to the site, and 2) the site contains habitat considered to be suitable for great crested newts including standing water, hedgerows, scrub, grasslands and gardens. Great crested newts are designated as a European Protected Species and protected under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010, and under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) 1981 (as amended) (see Appendix 3). These pieces of legislation protect both the newts and their habitats from harm.

3321_A10_Ecology 10

July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach

To avoid committing an offence under UK legislation against great crested newts or their habitat during the proposed works, it is recommended that further surveys are undertaken to assess the distribution of newts across the site. An initial survey will identify all waterbodies suitable for breeding great crested newts within the vicinity of the proposed works. Further surveys should then be undertaken in the spring (March to June) which will target breeding newts found within these waterbodies3.

4.3.2. Reptiles It is considered likely that reptiles will be found within the study site as reptiles are known to be found within the vicinity of the site, and the site contains habitat suitable for reptiles. All species of British reptile are protected by the WCA 1981 (as amended). The common species (including grass snake, slow worm and common lizard) are only protected against intentional killing and injuring. If habitat suitable for use by reptiles, such as grassland, tall ruderal vegetation, hedgerows, scrub, trees, field margins, and standing water, is to be removed during the proposed works then there is a possibility that an offence could be committed under the WCA in that reptiles could be harmed. If any of the habitats considered to be suitable for use by reptiles is to be removed during the proposed works, it is recommended that this habitat is targeted for reptile surveys. These surveys would ideally be undertaken in the spring (April to early June) or autumn (September)4

4.3.3. Bats It is considered likely that bats will be using the site to roost and forage as bats have been found within the site and its vicinity and the site contains habitat which could provide resources to a significant number of bats. Bat roosts may be present within the buildings and mature trees on the site. The majority of the habitats present on site could potentially be used by foraging and commuting bats, but more significant resources are likely to be the large waterbodies, the woodland, the wet ditches, and the hedgerows. All British bats are designated as European Protected Species and protected under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010, and under the WCA1981 (as amended) (see Appendix 3). Bats and their roosts are protected from harm through these pieces of legislation. Although foraging sites and/or commuting routes are not directly protected, the legislation does protect against disturbance which would impair the bats’ ability to “rear or nurture their young” or “to hibernate or migrate” (see Appendix 3) which may occur if the proposed works create a barrier between a significant roosting site and its surrounding resources. To avoid committing an offence against bats under UK legislation during the proposed works, it is therefore important to gain an understanding of 1) the likelihood of bat roosts being present within the proximity of the proposed works and 2) the movement and use of the site by bats.

3321_A10_Ecology 11

July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach

Survey effort and timing will depend upon the quality of the habitats which may be impacted by the proposed works5 but are likely to include:  walked transect surveys along habitats considered likely to be used by bats for foraging and/or commuting. Static bat detectors will also be deployed along the transect routes and will be in place over the duration of the season. The frequency and timing of surveys will be determined by the quality of the habitat to be impacted but the surveys should occur at regular intervals during the bats’ active season from March to October5.  surveys for bat roosts in any buildings that are likely to be impacted by the proposed works. These surveys will include interior and exterior examinations of the buildings to assess their bat roost potential followed by dusk and dawn roost surveys if deemed necessary. The initial building surveys can occur at any time of the year. The timing and the frequency of the dusk and dawn roost surveys will be determined by the nature and quality of the potential roosting location but surveys should occur at regular intervals between May and September5.  surveys for bat roosts in any mature trees that are likely to be impacted by the proposed works. The survey will initially assess the potential of the tree(s) for bat roosts. This survey can occur at any time of the year but should ideally occur during the winter or early spring when foliage is minimal5. Further surveys may be required if trees with significant potential are discovered.

4.3.4. Badgers It is considered that most of the site could be used by badgers and that badgers are likely to be found within the site as they are relatively common and are known to occur within the vicinity of the site. Badgers and their setts are protected from harm by the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. To avoid an offence to badgers under the Act, all areas to be directly impacted by the works should be surveyed for use by badgers. The survey can be undertaken at any time of the year.

4.3.5. Water Voles and Otters Water voles have previously been discovered within wet ditches in the study site. It is likely that water voles will be present within several waterbodies within the site as the wet ditches are mostly interlinked and also provide habitat corridors to the larger waterbodies. Evidence of the presence of otters has been discovered in the Cam River in an area approximately 900m from the nearest waterbody present on the site. It is considered unlikely that otters would leave the river and traverse this distance to forage or shelter within the site; however, the study site does contain habitat which has the potential to be suitable for otters, therefore the presence of otters within the site cannot be ruled out. As with bats and great crested newts, otters are designated as European Protected Species and protected under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010, and under the WCA1981 (as amended) (see Appendix 3). Otters and sheltering places (holts) are protected from harm through these pieces of legislation.

5 Hundt L (2012) Bat Surveys: Good Practice Guidelines. Bat Conservation Trust, London.

3321_A10_Ecology 12

July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach

Water voles are protected under the WCA 1981 (as amended) which protects the sheltering places of water voles, and prohibits the disturbance of water voles within their sheltering places. If the proposed works were to impact a wet ditch or the bank of a pond or lake then an offence may be committed under UK legislation in that the sheltering places of otters and water voles may be harmed, or a water vole or otter may be disturbed. All waterbodies, including all wet ditches, to be impacted by the proposed works should therefore be targeted for further survey work to investigate the presence of water voles and otters. This survey can occur at any time of the year but is ideally undertaken in the spring6.

4.3.6. Birds The site is considered likely to be a significant resource for a wide diversity of bird species with some rare species being abundant within the site. In particular, large flocks of golden plover and lapwing have been observed within the site, and lapwing are known to breed within the site. Also noted within the vicinity of the site are barn owls. All nesting birds are protected under the WCA 1981 (as amended) which makes it an offence to intentionally kill, injure or take any wild bird or take, damage or destroy its nest whilst in use or being built, or take or destroy its eggs. Barn owls enjoy further protection under the WCA 1981 (as amended) in that they are protected against disturbance when nesting, and species such as golden plover and lapwing are considered notable species which need to be considered during the planning application process. To gain an understanding of the significance of the site to overwintering and breeding birds it is recommended that a series of surveys are undertaken to investigate the use of the habitats within the site by birds. Three of the surveys should take place within the spring and summer (March to June) and will investigate the use of the site by breeding birds. A more extensive set of surveys are recommended to be undertaken during the colder months to investigate the use of the site by overwintering birds. These surveys should occur monthly from September to March and will target habitats such as the large waterbodies and arable fields which are likely to be used by overwintering populations of golden plovers and lapwings. Barn owl surveys should be undertaken if any buildings considered to be suitable for breeding barn owls are to be impacted by the proposed works. These surveys could occur at any time of the year and could be combined with the bat roosts in building surveys described above.

4.3.7. Invertebrates The wet ditches present on site could contain a significant assemblage of aquatic invertebrates. Many invertebrates are listed as Priority Species within the UK Biodiversity Action Plan and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006 states that their presence should be a consideration during the planning process. It is therefore

6 Strachan R. (2011) Water Vole Handbook. Wildlife Conservation Research Unit.

3321_A10_Ecology 13

July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach

recommended that all wet ditches to be impacted by the proposed works should be surveyed for aquatic invertebrates. This survey should occur during the summer months.

4.3.8. Flora The site contains habitats, such as the arable farmland and wet ditches, which may support rare flora protected against destruction by the WCA 1981 (as amended). There are many hedgerows within the site and these may be of a quality to be protected against damage by the Hedgerows Regulations 1997. Furthermore, as described in Sections 3.1.3 and 4.2, habitats within the site have been designated as Priority Habitats within the UK Biodiversity Action Plan and, if present, their presence should be a consideration when judging a planning application according to the NERC Act 2006. It is therefore recommended that Phase 2 botanical surveys are undertaken in all areas to be impacted by the proposed works if 1) arable farmland or wet ditches will be impacted, 2) if hedgerows will be impacted, and 3) if the areas designated as UK BAP Priority Habitats will be impacted.

Appendix 2. Target Notes 1) Semi-improved grassland with stands of bramble scrub and tall ruderal (nettle). Pile of debris/wood. Reptile potential. Rabbit grazed, short sward. 2) Rectory Farm – farm shop, café and animal petting area (pigs and sheep). Buildings with corrugated aggregate and metal walls and roofing material. Some walls breeze block and concrete. No buildings of note with good bat potential. 3) Ditch along Waterbeach Road – wide and open with steep grassy banks. Water vole potential. 4) Residential area – new builds, brick likely cavity walls, concrete roof tiles (curved). Allotment area with reptile potential. Horse grazed paddock north of allotments with good reptile potential (slow worm) -bramble scrub and grassland mosaic, diversity in sward height. 5) Private track, leading to properties, unkempt grassland either side of track with scattered scrub and trees encroaching on grassland. Good reptile potential and breeding bird habitat. 6) Area of unmanaged grassland with tall ruderal (nettle and docks) and scrub (bramble) along Cambridge Road – which is disused. Good reptile potential. 7) Old property with bat potential. Long ridge with ventilation tiles and some parts of building in need of repair, therefore potential access points for bats. 8) Education ITC centre, old building along tree lined lane. Bat potential due to located and slipped/loose ridge tiles. 9) Area not accessible to survey. 10) Residential property along Waterbeach Road, mixed construction and materials. Some bungalows. Most with well-maintained front gardens with ornamental shrubs, some mature trees. Roofing materials mostly concrete tiles. Manor House further west towards Landbeach has bat roost potential. A row of poplars form the boundary between the two fields of improved grassland to the west of the house. 11) Area of unmanaged grassland with scattered scrub and trees and tall ruderal. Reptile potential. 12) Area partially cleared for car parking – shale with ephemeral vegetation. Area beyond car park is tall grassland with scattered scrub, similar to target note 11. Reptile potential. 13) Enterprise Nurseries. Area boarded with Herras fencing. Buildings and glass houses in derelict state but standing. Sense of abandonment. Area of Christmas

trees along A10. Spoil heaps of rubble sand and stone, some of which have become vegetated. 14) Area of former arable, now semi-improved unmanaged grassland. Birch saplings and scattered scrub (dogrose), appears unmanaged for several years. Species noted include cow parsley, dandelions, hogweed, mallow. Nettles and cleavers encroaching from hedge-line. 15) Golf course. Improved grassland/amenity grassland with rows of trees. Mounds of earth and vegetated bunds with reptile potential. Species noted along road verge in this region include sterile brome, ribwort plantain hogweed, dandelion, hop trefoil, common field speedwell, common vetch, spotted meddick, daisy, red dead nettle. These species are typical along A10 road verge. 16) Emmaus Cambridge Community – charity selling second hand furniture, bric-a- brac, etc. Several large buildings of mixed construction. Many with corrugated metal roofs (new), unsuitable for roosting bats. Tree lined track leading to warehouses, gravel car park, nursery area (allotments) and an area of semi- improved grassland with bordering scrub and trees, reptile potential. 17) Road verge of A10. Soundproof fencing, steep grassy banks dominated by goosefoots; clover, ribwort plantain, bramble, Poa species also noted.

Appendix 3. Legislation relating to European Protected Species The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 consolidates the various amendments that have been made to the Regulations. The original (1994) Regulations transposed the EC Habitats Directive on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (Council Directive 92/43/EEC) into national law.

“European protected species” (EPS) are those which are present on Schedule 2 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010. They are subject to the provisions of Regulation 41 of those Regulations. All EPS are also protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). Taken together, these pieces of legislation make it an offence to:

a) Intentionally or deliberately capture, injure or kill any wild animal included amongst these species b) Possess or control any live or dead specimens or any part of, or anything derived from a these species c) deliberately disturb wild animals of any such species d) deliberately take or destroy the eggs of such an animal, or e) intentionally, deliberately or recklessly damage or destroy a breeding site or resting place of such an animal, or obstruct access to such a place For the purposes of paragraph (c), disturbance of animals includes in particular any disturbance which is likely:

a) to impair their ability • to survive, to breed or reproduce, or to rear or nurture their young, or • in the case of animals of a hibernating or migratory species, to hibernate or migrate; or b) to affect significantly the local distribution or abundance of the species to which they belong.
