Executive Summary
Purpose of Document Lockhart Garratt Ltd was commissioned by Mr Colin Eaton to carry out an Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey including desk study for land at Percy Cottage, Ruscombe, Reading. The report considers the ecological conditions within the Site in the context of the development of a new residential dwelling and the demolition of Percy Cottage and several out-buildings.
The Site itself is not subject to any statutory or non-statutory designation of nature conservation interest. There are no statutory designations within 2km of the Site. There are 12 non-statutory designations within 2km, the closest being the Ruscombe Village Pond Local Wildlife Site (LWS), located approximately 0.3km to the east. A range of protected amphibian, reptile, mammal and bird species were identified within 2km of the Site by the desk study.
The Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey was undertaken on 2nd May 2018. The habitat within the Site consisted of buildings, amenity grassland, trees, introduced shrub, hedgerows, tall ruderal and hard- standing.
Overall it is considered that subject to the implementation of the recommendations and enhancements set out within this report, an overall net gain in biodiversity at the Site may be achieved. Key recommendations in this context are as follows:
Further survey work in respect of bats within the Site is required. Clearance and construction works should be scheduled outside of the main bird breeding season (March to August inclusive). If in the event works need to proceed within this period, then specialist advice from a suitably qualified ecologist should be sought. Any landscape planting should incorporate native species, including those species known to provide foraging opportunities for breeding birds and nectar sources for invertebrates. Enhancements in the form of bird and bat boxes are also recommended.

1. INTRODUCTION Terms of Instruction 1.1. Lockhart Garratt Ltd was commissioned by Mr Colin Eaton to carry out an Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey including desk study for land at Percy Cottage, Ruscombe, Reading. The report considers the ecological conditions within the Site in the context of the development of a new residential dwelling and the demolition of Percy Cottage and several out-buildings. Report Limitations 1.2. This is an ecological report and as such no reliance should be given to comments relating to buildings, engineering, soils or other unrelated matters. Qualifications 1.3. The authors of this report are detailed below: Louise Fox BSc (Hons) PGDipLaw MSc Grad CIEEM – Primary Author/Primary Surveyor Simon Muddiman – Graphics Becky McKay – Project Administrator Site Description 1.4.

2. METHODOLOGY 2.1. The methodology for the ecological assessment may be split into three main areas: a desk study, habitat survey and faunal survey. These are discussed in more detail below. Desk Study 2.2. Existing ecological information on the Site and surrounding area was requested from the Thames Valley Environmental Records Centre. The purpose of the desk study was to collect baseline information to identify statutory and non-statutory designated sites, legally protected species and species of conservation concern within a 2km radius of the Site in line with CIEEM Guidelines for Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (2017). Full information is provided at Appendix 1. 2.3. A review of online resources, including the Multi Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside (MAGIC) database was also undertaken to establish the ecological context for the Site (accessed 30th April 2018). The MAGIC website was also reviewed to identify any designated sites of European Importance within 5km of the Site. 2.4. In addition, Ordnance Survey and aerial mapping was reviewed to identify any ponds within 250m of the Site. Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey 2.5. An Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey was undertaken by Louise Fox on 2nd May 2018 in order to ascertain the general ecological value of the Site and to determine the need for further assessment. 2.6. The Phase 1 Habitat Survey was undertaken in accordance with standard methodology (JNCC, 20101). The Phase 1 methodology involves the classification of habitat types based on vegetation present. The Site was classified into areas of similar botanical community types, with a representative species list provided for each habitat type identified. In addition, invasive weeds were also searched for during the Phase 1 Habitat Survey, as listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). 2.7. The information is presented in accordance with the standard Phase 1 Habitat Survey format with habitat descriptions and a habitat map, provided at Appendix 2. In addition, Target Notes providing supplementary information, for example relating to species, composition, structure and management are also presented on the Habitat map. 2.8. All of the species that occur within each habitat type would not necessarily be detectable during survey work carried out at any given time of year. Faunal Surveys 2.9. General faunal activity was recorded during the Phase 1 field survey, including mammals and birds observed or heard. Specific attention was also paid to the potential presence of any protected, rare or notable species, as described below.

Bats Tree Assessment 2.13. A preliminary ground-based assessment of all suitable trees located on or immediately adjacent to the Site was undertaken to determine their potential to support roosting bats. 2.14. All suitable features such as cracks and splits in limbs, hollows and cavities, natural holes, woodpecker holes, loose bark and dense ivy were assessed using binoculars and high powered torches where appropriate. Evidence of bat roost themselves, including droppings, feeding remains and urine staining were also searched for during the assessment. 2.15. Where no direct or indirect evidence of roosting bats were confirmed, trees were categorised as being of high, medium, low or negligible potential to support roosting bats based on the type and number of suitable bat features present, in accordance with best practice guidance, Bat Conservation Trust (2016) Bat Surveys: Good Practice Guidelines 3rd Edition.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 10 of 49
1) High potential – one or more potential roosting features present that are obviously suitable for use by larger numbers of bats on a more regular basis and potentially for longer periods of time due to their size, shelter, protection, conditions and surrounding habitat. 2) Moderate potential – one or more potential roosting features present that could be used by bats due to their size, shelter, protection, conditions and surrounding habitat but are unlikely to support a roost of high conservation status. 3) Low potential – one or more potential roost features that could be used by individual bats opportunistically. However, these potential roost sites do not provide enough space shelter, protection, appropriate conditions and/or suitable surrounding habitat to be used on a regular basis by larger numbers of bats (i.e. unlikely to be suitable for maternity or hibernation). A tree of sufficient size and age to contain potential roosting features but with none seen from the ground or features seen with only very limited potential should also be placed in this category. 4) Negligible potential – whereby no evidence of bats was observed and no suitable features for bats are supported, such that their presence is considered negligible. Negligible habitat features on site likely to be used by roosting bats. Building Inspection 2.16. All buildings within the Site were subject to external inspection to search for evidence of bat activity where safe to do so. 2.17. Exterior inspection was undertaken in order to search for any signs of use by bats, such as droppings or staining, and to identify any potential access points. Binoculars were used to inspect any inaccessible areas more closely. Great Crested Newt 2.18. Accessible ponds and waterbodies within 250m of the Site were assessed for their suitability to support great crested newt Triturus cristatus. The assessment was undertaken in accordance with the methodology and criteria set out by Oldham et al (2000), which hypotheses the likely presence of great crested newt in ponds based on a number of parameters, such as pond size, location, shading, presence of fish and wildfowl and macrophyte cover. 2.19. Data from the field assessment are used to calculate a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI), represented by a number from zero to one, as demonstrated in Table 1 below.

Principles of Ecological Evaluation 2.20. The evaluation of ecological features and an assessment of likely impacts should be based on available resources and the professional judgement of the ecologist concerned. Ecological value of features should be undertaken in accordance with the approach outlined in the Guidelines for Ecological Impact Assessment in the United Kingdom (CIEEM, 2016). 2.21. A five-point evaluation scale has been applied to assist with the identification of key features of ecological significance in relation to the proposed development. This is an arbitrary scale based upon characteristics of ecological importance as listed in CIEEM (2016), which experience has shown is effective at this level of assessment. 2.22. The five-point scale is outlined below:
Low value; Intermediate value; High value (Local importance eg Local Wildlife Site); Very high value (County importance eg Local Nature Reserve); and Exceptional value (National importance eg Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)). 2.23. In evaluating ecological features and resources, geographic frame of reference is considered. The value of an ecological feature is determined within a defined geographical frame of reference:
International & European; National; Regional; County, Metropolitan, vice-county or other local authority area; or Local.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 12 of 49
2.24. Ecological features may be defined as:
Statutorily protected (Natura 2000, National Nature Reserve, Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Local Nature Reserves) or locally designated sites (Local Wildlife Sites or Sites of Importance to Nature Conservation); Sites and features of biodiversity value not designated in this way such as ancient woodland; or Species of biodiversity value or other significance, including those protected and controlled by law.

3. LEGISLATION AND PLANNING POLICY OVERVIEW 3.1. A summary of the legislative and planning context which has been used to inform this ecological assessment is provided below. Legislation 3.2. A number of tiers of legislation protect wildlife and habitats within England and Wales, the highest of which being European legislation. A summary of relevant legislation is provided below. 3.3. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) is the primary piece of national legislation which pertains to the protection of flora, fauna and the countryside. The Act is the means by which the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention) and the Council Directive 79/409/EEC on the conservation of wild birds (Birds Directive) are implemented in Great Britain. 3.4. The Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 (NERC) made provision for all public authorities, including local planning authorities, to consider biodiversity in their roles. Local planning authorities are to ensure that there is no net loss of biodiversity on a site, no net loss in habitat connectivity and must aim to enhance biodiversity. Section 41 established a list of the species and habitats of principal importance for the purpose of conserving biodiversity. 3.5. The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 consolidates all the various amendments made to the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994 in respect of England and Wales. The 1994 Regulations transposed Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (EC Habitats Directive) into national law. 3.6. The Hedgerow Regulations 1997 make provision for the identification of ‘important’ hedgerows which may not be removed without consent from the Local Planning Authority. The Regulations specifically exclude any hedgerow which is within, or borders, a domestic garden. Policy 3.7. The planning policy framework that relates to nature conservation in Ruscombe is provided at two levels; nationally through the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and locally through policies in the Reading Borough Local Development Framework Core Strategy. National Planning Policy Framework (England) 3.8. The NPPF sets out the Government’s national policies on the protection of biodiversity conservation through the planning system. It replaces previous national planning policy, including Planning Policy Statement 9 (Biodiversity and Geological Conservation) (PPS9), which was published in 2005. 3.9. The key element of the NPPF is that there should be ‘a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which should be seen as a golden thread running through both plan-making and decision-taking’ (paragraph 14). It should be noted that this presumption ‘does not apply where development requiring Appropriate Assessment under the Birds or Habitats Directive is being considered, planned or determined’ (paragraph 119).
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 14 of 49
3.10. NPPF states that ‘the planning system should contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment’ by ‘minimising impacts on biodiversity and providing net gains in biodiversity, where possible contributing to the Government’s commitment to halt the overall decline in biodiversity’. Local Policy 3.11. The current Development Plan in relation to the Site is the Reading Borough Local Development Framework Core Strategy (adopted January 2008, with alteration adopted January 2015). Relevant extracts of specific nature conservation policies to consider are provided below: 3.12. POLICY CS36 – Biodiversity and Geology “a) Development should retain, protect and incorporate features of biodiversity or geological interest (including protected species and their habitats) found within the application site into their schemes. On sites with recognised biodiversity or geological value, development will not be permitted where there would be a direct or indirect adverse impact on the site, unless it can be demonstrated that: i) The need for development clearly outweighs the need to protect the value of the site; and ii) Appropriate compensation, impact minimisation, mitigation and compensation are provided. b) Local Nature Reserves and Wildlife Heritage Sites will be safeguarded and where possible, enhanced. Permission will not be granted for any development that would adversely affect a designated nature reserve or Wildlife Heritage Site. c) Any development that would sever or threaten the integrity of an established wildlife link, as indicated on an adopted proposals maps, will not be permitted. Where applicable, developments should be designed to protect, consolidate, extend and enhance the network of wildlife links and corridors in and adjoining the Borough, working with neighbouring authorities where appropriate.” 3.12. POLICY CS38 – Trees, Hedges and Woodlands “Individual trees, groups of trees, hedges and woodlands will be protected from damage or removal, and the Borough’s vegetation cover will be extended.”

5. PHASE 1 HABITAT SURVEY RESULTS 5.1. The phase 1 field survey was conducted on 2nd May 2018 in poor weather conditions (8°C, 100% cloud cover, Beaufort scale 1-2, rain). Field Survey Limitations 5.2. The survey was undertaken outside of the optimal seasonal period for botanical assessment, however given the habitats present within the Site this is not considered to be a constraint. Habitat Descriptions 5.3. The full Phase 1 Habitat Map detailing the location of the habitats and other features of ecological interest is presented at Appendix 2. The habitat descriptions below should be read in conjunction with this plan and any associated target notes. 5.4. Habitats identified during the Phase 1 Habitat Survey are detailed below in alphabetical order (not in order of ecological importance):
Amenity Grassland Buildings Hard-standing Hedgerows Introduced Shrub Standing Water (off-site) Tall Ruderal with Bare Ground Trees Amenity Grassland 5.5. Part of the Site comprised an amenity grassland lawn, which showed little sign of recent management, with the sward reaching up to 150mm in places. 5.6. Species present included perennial ryegrass Lolium perenne, Yorkshire fog Holcus lanatus, cock’s-foot Dactylis glomerata, red fescue Festuca rubra, dandelion Taraxacum officinale agg., daisy Bellis perennis, white clover Trifolium repens, creeping buttercup Ranunculus repens, field forget-me-not Myosotis arvensis, herb Robert Geranium robertianum, ivy Hedera helix and cleavers Galium aparine. A ruderal element was present in association with the boundaries, with some creep of ruderal species from the areas of bare ground to the south of the grassland (see below). Species present included common nettle Urtica dioica, white dead-nettle Lamium album, cleavers, common hogweed Heracleum sphondylium, bramble Rubus fruticosus agg., cow parsley and creeping thistle Cirsium arvense. 5.7. Overall this habitat was of low ecological value, offering minor opportunities for reptiles and amphibians. The grassland did offer a suitable foraging resource for small mammals if present in the area. Buildings 5.8. Numerous building structures were present within the Site which were assessed for their potential to support roosting bats and nesting birds. Each building is discussed in turn below.

5.9. Building B1 was Percy Cottage, the residential dwelling within the Site. The building was a two storey structure of red brick construction with a pitched, slate-tiled roof. The western elevation was partly clad with wooden weather boarding. A small single storey structure was also present on the western elevation, which comprised a sloping roof clad with corrugated sheet metal. No internal loft voids were present within the building. 5.10. Overall the building was largely in poor condition, with much of the western side of the roof in a state of disrepair. Part of the roof appeared to have suffered some collapse, which exposed beams and insulation. Gaps within the brickwork of the chimney were visible, along with gaps between tiles and lead flashing. Overall it was considered likely that the roof was likely to be sub-optimal for roosting bats, with evidence of rain damage throughout.
Photographs 1 and 2: Building B1 5.11. Building B2 was a single storey shed of wooden construction with a pitched roof clad with corrugated asbestos. The structure was used for storage purposes. Small gaps between weather boarding offered some, albeit limited, potential to support crevice dwelling bat species. 5.12. Building B3 was a two storey structure of wooden construction, clad with wooden weather boarding. The roof was gently sloping and no internal loft voids were present. Several windows were present throughout and the structure was used as a workshop. Small gaps between weather boarding offered some, albeit limited, potential to support crevice dwelling bat species. The building is to be unaffected by the proposals.

Photograph 3: Building B3 5.13. Building B4 was a single storey building of similar design and construction to building B3. The roof was flat and clad with corrugated metal. Small gaps between weather boarding offered some, albeit limited, potential to support crevice dwelling bat species. 5.14. Building B5 was a small shed / garage structure formed from corrugated sheet metal. The roof was gently sloping. Overall the building offered negligible potential to support nesting birds or roosting bats. 5.15. Building B6 was a wooden shed structure with a flat corrugated sheet metal roof with a dense coverage of ivy. Overall the building offered negligible potential to support nesting birds or roosting bats.

18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 24 of 49
5.16. Building B7 was a shed of wood and metal construction with a gently sloping corrugated metal roof. A clear plastic window was present. Overall the building offered negligible potential to support nesting birds or roosting bats. 5.17. In addition, a dilapidated glasshouse was present within the Site, which offered negligible potential to support roosting bats. The glasshouse was full of dense vegetation including bramble and horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum. A wooden structure was present in the south-western corner of the Site, which was completely covered with dense vegetation. 5.18. Overall the buildings were found to be of low ecological value. Building B1 offered low potential to support roosting bats, however the buildings poor condition likely limited its value. Weather boarding offered some, albeit sub-optimal, habitat for crevice-dwelling bat species. Hard-standing 5.19. Several small areas of hard-standing were present within the Site, including the path leading to and around the building. 5.20. Limited vegetation was present save for some opportunistic species such as dandelion, mosses and annual meadowgrass Poa annua. 5.21. Overall this habitat was of negligible ecological value. Hedgerows 5.22. Two small sections of hedgerow were present within the Site. 5.23. Hedgerow H1 was along the southern boundary of the Site within the ownership of the neighbouring property. The hedgerow comprised several stumps and was overall gappy and in poor condition. Species present included yew Taxus baccata, holly Ilex aquifolium, elm Ulmus sp., dog rose Rosa canina, ivy and bramble. The ground flora also comprised red campion Silene dioica, primrose Primula vulgaris and grasses. 5.24. Hedgerow H2 ran along part of the northern boundary of the Site, adjacent to the road. The hedgerow was managed and reached up to 1m in height and 0.5m in width. Species present include elm, privet Ligustrum sp., bramble and ivy. 5.25. Overall the hedgerows showed limited management and were of low ecological value. Introduced Shrub 5.26. Small areas of amenity planting were present within the Site. Species present included rose Rosa sp., lilac Syringa sp., daffodil Narcissus sp., Aubrieta sp. and Aquilegia sp. 5.27. Overall this habitat was of low ecological value, however did offer a seasonal nectar resource for invertebrates. Standing Water (off-site) 5.28. The Ruscombe Village Pond was located approximately 250m to the east and two fishing lakes were located approximately 120m and 180m to the south of the Site 5.29. Pond P1, the Ruscombe Village Pond, is known to support great crested newt, as confirmed by the desk study obtained from the TVERC.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 25 of 49
5.30. Ponds P2 and P3, fishing lakes to the south of the Site, were subject to a Habitat Suitability Index Assessment to provide an assessment of their potential to support GCN. Table 5: Habitat Suitability Index Assessment of Ponds P2 and P3

5.31. Overall this habitat was of intermediate to high ecological value. Tall Ruderal 5.32. An area of tall ruderal vegetation was present to the south of the Site, which also included several patches of bare ground, brash piles and burning piles. 5.33. Species present included sycamore Acer pseudoplatanus, common nettle, white dead-nettle, cleavers Galium aparine, common hogweed, bramble, cow parsley and creeping thistle Cirsium arvense. 5.34. Overall this habitat was of low ecological value.
Photograph 5: Scattered Ruderal and Bare Ground Trees (scattered) 5.35. A small number of young scattered trees were present within the Site, including apple Malus sp. No features were identified as offering potential to support roosting bats, however they did offer potential to support nesting birds. Evidence of Protected Species and Other Faunal Interest 5.36. A number of bird species were identified during the field survey, including carrion crow Corvus corone, robin Erithacus rubecula, woodpigeon Columba palumbus, collared dove Streptopelia decaocto, blue tit Cyanistes caeruleus, great tit Parus major, blackbird Turdus merula, dunnock Prunella modularis, wren Troglodytes troglodytes and chaffinch Fringilla coelebs.

6. EVALUATION OF ECOLOGICAL CONTEXT The Site 6.1. The Site is located within Ruscombe, Reading, Berkshire. At the time of the assessment the Site comprised buildings, amenity grassland, trees, introduced shrub, hedgerows, tall ruderal and hard-standing. 6.2. Overall the Site consists of habitats typical of and common within its local context. Statutory and Non-statutory Sites 6.3. The Site itself is not subject to any statutory or non-statutory designation of nature conservation interest. 6.4. There are no statutory designations within 2km of the Site. Impact Risk Zones (IRZs) are a tool developed by Natural England to provide an initial assessment of the potential risks to Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). The Site falls within one IRZ for the Lodge Wood & Sandford Mill SSSI. The IRZ does not apply to developments of this nature, therefore statutory advice need not be sought from Natural England on the potential impacts of the development. 6.5. There are 12 non-statutory designations within 2km of the Site, the closest being the Ruscombe Village Pond Local Wildlife Site (LWS), located approximately 0.3km to the east. Overall, given the nature of the proposals it is considered highly unlikely that there will be any negative impact upon any nature conservation site.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 27 of 49
7. HABITAT EVALUATION 7.1. The proposals for the Site involve the development of a new residential dwelling and the demolition of Percy Cottage and several out-buildings. 7.2. There were no habitats within the Site considered to be of local, regional or national ecological value. Grassland 7.3. The grassland habitat exhibited a poor diversity of species and overall was of low ecological value, being amenity in nature. Small areas of the grassland were suitable for reptiles or amphibians, however this habitat was minor and largely isolated by adjoining areas of poor quality habitat. The grassland did offer foraging opportunities for small mammals and birds. Hedgerows 7.4. The hedgerows were not considered to be ecologically ‘important’ nor were they considered to be Priority Habitat under Section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (NERC) 2006. Hedgerow H1 was outside the ownership of the Client, however would benefit from new planting. Hedgerow H2 is to be partly lost under the proposals, however new planting is recommended to offset this loss. Standing Water 7.5. The off-site waterbodies were assessed for their potential to support GCN and P1 is known to support the species. Ponds P2 and P3 were found to be of poor value to GCN, being heavily stocked fishing lakes. 7.6. A Rapid Risk Assessment of the potential impacts of the proposals on GCN from P1 was undertaken and the results shown in Table 6 below. Table 6: Rapid Risk Assessment Results

7.7. Overall given the nature of the Site and the proposals, it is considered highly unlikely that there will be any negative impact upon great crested newts in the local area. Safeguards are provided in Section 9 below.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 28 of 49
Trees 7.8. Very few trees were present within the Site, however none exhibited any substantive features of potential value to roosting bats. All offered potential to support nesting birds. It is recommended that as far as practicable, trees are retained under the proposals.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 29 of 49
8. FAUNAL EVALUATION Desk Study 8.1. The desk study located a variety of protected species records for the local area (see plan and details at Appendix 1). 8.2. The Site has been assessed on the suitability of the habitats to support such protected species and the likelihood of those species being present. Table 7 below provides an evaluation of protected species within the Site and local area in the context of the proposed development.

9. RECOMMENDATIONS, FURTHER SURVEYS AND ENHANCEMENTS Overview 9.1. Recommendations have been provided within this report that will safeguard the existing ecological interest features within the Site. Wherever possible, measures to enhance ecological and biodiversity value have also been set out. 9.2. Based on the survey undertaken to date and the recommendations for further surveys, the presence and potential presence of protected species has been given due regard. 9.3. In conclusion, implementation of the measures provided within this report enable the proposals to accord with national and local planning policy for nature conservation. Designated Sites 9.4. Overall, given the nature of the proposals, it is considered that the likely negative impact upon any site of nature conservation interest will be low. No recommendations in respect of designated sites are therefore provided. Habitats 9.5. Largely the habitats within the Site were found to be of low ecological value, with opportunities for enhancements in the form of new planting. New planting of native species, of local provenance where practicable, is recommended to mitigate against any loss of habitat. Species of known value to wildlife shall be incorporated to provide foraging opportunities for breeding birds and nectar sources for invertebrates. Landscaping proposals for the scheme should include the use of night-flowering plant species, such as jasmine Cestrum nocturnum and honeysuckle Lonicera periclymenum, which will attract insects for foraging bats. 9.6. The buildings were found to offer potential to support roosting bats, therefore further assessment is recommended below. Species Amphibians and Reptiles 9.7. Overall it is considered unlikely that the habitats within the Site support great crested newt and reptiles. However, due to the presence of waterbodies within the vicinity of the Site and suitable boundary habitat, safeguards are nonetheless provided:
Areas of any longer vegetation present at the time of works will be strimmed in a two stage process. Following a finger-tip search by a suitably qualified ecologist to ensure that no reptiles are present, the first strimming phase will cut the vegetation to approximately 100- 150mm above ground level carefully encouraging any reptiles passing through the vegetation to move into suitable off-site habitat away from the construction zone. The same principle should be applied to areas of dense scrub which should be carefully reduced by hand under ecological supervision. Once vegetation has been cut all suitable refugia within the Site are to be removed carefully under ecological supervision. Suitable refugia may include wooden sleepers, plastic sheeting, corrugated roofing sheets, piping, concrete slabs or rocks.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 34 of 49
The second strimming/clearance phase can be undertaken on the same day after completion of the first and will follow a second finger-tip search of the area by the ecologist before being cut to ground level or bare ground as appropriate (0-50mm). Any wood piles and cuttings of vegetation should be removed in a sensitive manner after being checked by an ecologist to ensure no reptiles are present. Badger and Otter 9.8. No evidence of badger or otter activity was found within or immediately adjacent to the Site. Badgers readily establish new setts, therefore should any evidence of badger activity be found prior to construction, a member of the Lockhart Garratt ecology team should be contacted for advice. 9.9. General construction safeguards should be implemented as a precaution, which will also act to safeguard other mammals, such as fox:
All contractors and Site personnel will be briefed on the potential presence of badger within the Site; Any trenches or deep pits within the Site that are to be left open overnight will be provided with a means of escape should an animal enter. This could simply be in the form of a roughened plank of wood placed in the trench as a ramp to the surface. This is particularly important if the trench fills with water; Any trenches will be inspected each morning to ensure no animals have become trapped overnight; and Food and litter should not be left within the working area overnight. Bats 9.10. The Site offers potential roosting opportunities for bats, with four buildings offering at best low potential to support roosting bats. Accordingly, further assessment is required in respect of bats to assess current levels of activity. 9.11. A single nocturnal dusk emergence survey is recommended to assess the buildings to be affected by the proposals. The survey will be undertaken in accordance with best practice guidance and undertaken in good weather conditions, between May and September, with the optimum survey period being between May and August. 9.12. Should the presence of roosting bats be confirmed, further nocturnal assessment will be required. 9.13. General safeguards will be implemented within the Site, the details of which will be provided following completion of the nocturnal surveys. Lighting must not be directed on any part of the hedgerows or trees in order to safeguard any protected species, including bats. No artificial lighting should be placed near to any new bat roost features or focus on existing habitat to be retained. Lighting should be hooded where practicable to prevent up-lighting of the sky. Lighting proposals will be directly informed by the latest guidance available from the Bat Conservation Trust2 and other relevant bodies including the Institution of Lighting Professionals3.

18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 35 of 49
Nesting Birds 9.14. As the trees, buildings and hedgerows may potentially offer breeding opportunities for birds, it is recommended that these habitats are retained. Should any works affecting these habitats be necessary, this should take place outside the bird breeding season (March to August inclusive). If in the event works need to proceed within this period, then specialist advice from a suitably qualified ecologist should be sought. General 9.15. If in the unlikely event any protected species (e.g. badgers, reptiles, or nesting birds) are encountered as part of the works, then all works must stop, with advice sought immediately from Lockhart Garratt (01608 648657). 9.16. It should be noted that the information above provides details of the Site’s current ecological situation. In the event that the proposed development does not commence within 12 months of the date of this report, further advice should be sought from a suitably qualified ecologist as to whether the information provided requires updating in light of changing ecological conditions.

STATEMENT ON RECORDS BELONGING TO THE BERKS AND SOUTH BUCKS BAT GROUP (BSBBG)
TVERC has agreed an exchange of data with BSBBG which enables us to provide records belonging to them with the grid reference given to 1 km precision. Such records are indicated by the term “refer to BSBBG for full details” in the location column and BSBBG in the data origin column of the species table. Enquirers are recommended to contact the BSBBG direct to obtain further information. Please note that the BSBBG provides TVERC with an annual update of their records, so they may hold records for your search area that TVERC does not yet have access to. Requests for information may be submitted via the BSBBG website; www.berksbats.org.uk.
STATEMENT ON RECORDS BELONGING TO THE BINFIELD BADGER GROUP
TVERC has agreed an exchange of data with Binfield Badger Group which enables us to provide records belonging to them with the grid reference given to 1 km precision. Such records are indicated by the term “refer to BBG for full details” in the location column and BBG in the data origin column of the species table. Enquirers are recommended to contact the Binfield Badger Group direct to obtain further information. Please note that the BBG provides TVERC with an annual update of their records, so they may hold records for your search area that TVERC does not yet have access to. It should be noted that: (a) Absence of data does not imply that there is no badger activity. (b) There is a need for a suitably qualified person to carry out a survey, or resurvey just prior to any work commencing as badgers can move into an area that previously had no activity.

STATEMENT ON GRID REFERENCES
The following types of grid references are provided:
Six figure grid references. Many of these will be an assigned relatively central grid reference for a site though with small sites the assigned grid reference for a site could be close to the edge. The record may have come from anywhere within the site. Where additional location information is provided the reference may be more accurate or central to a subsite within the larger site. Where the location is not site based, the grid reference should be within 100 metres of the location. Four figure grid references. Generally these are 1km records often with some location information to give an idea of which part of the 1km square the record was found. Sometime this information can be quite accurate. Where a large site is referred to the location should be in that part of the 1km square that is within the site. In some case these may be tetrad records with grid reference referring to a 2km x 2km square. This
Produced by TVERC September 2014
includes some confidential records from Oxford Ornithological Society. Other tetrad data is rarely included. Eight and ten figure grid references: These are generally accurately worked out to the location where the species was found. However for small and narrow sites eight figure grid references may be used as a central grid reference for a site. TVERC intends to start tagging data to qualify these grid references but at present only a limited amount of qualification is provided. 1km square records are tagged as 1km record and 2km square records are tagged as 2km record.

OTHER DESIGNATIONS: BIRDS OF CONSERVATION CONCERN LISTS & RED LIST FUNGI
These lists were drawn up by leading governmental and non-governmental conservation organizations including the RSPB and British Trust for Ornithology. The most recent version was published in May 2009. Red List (tagged Bird-Red) - species are those that are globally threatened, whose population or range has declined rapidly in recent years (i.e. by more than 50% in 25 years), or which have declined historically and not recovered.
Amber List (tagged Bird-Amber) - Amber list species are those whose population or range has declined moderately in recent years (by more than 25% but less than 50% in 25 years), those whose population has declined historically but recovered recently, rare breeders (fewer than 300 pairs), those with internationally important populations in the UK, those with localised populations, and those with an unfavourable conservation status in Europe.
Red List Fungi – This designation uses the Red Data List of Threatened British Fungi (preliminary assessment) by Shelley Evans (BMS Conservation Officer). Species are designated as:
Fungi Red-CR – Critically Endangered Fungi Red-EN – Endangered Fungi Red-NT – Near Threatened Fungi Red-VU – Vulnerable
These follow current IUCN guidelines (2001) as closely as possible but with adaptations to take into account the fungal lifestyle and associated practicalities of fungal recording.
OTHER DESIGNATIONS: LOCAL BAP SPECIES

Site Code: 77X02 Grid Reference: SU782756 Area (ha): 26.16 Local Authority: Wokingham Last Survey Date(s): June 2003 Designation Date: Original LWS Selection
Site Description
This site consists of two gravel pits that lie on either side of one of the channels of the River Loddon. The eastern pit is a nature reserve managed by the Berkshire and Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust while the western pit lies within Charvil Country Park. The pits are part of an important group of gravel pits in the Loddon Valley which are important for overwintering and breeding birds. Loddon Reserve has an island created for nesting birds which is well used by common terns. They also support invertebrates such as the damselflies. There are small areas of woodland and open rough grassland at the edge of the pits.
There is a proposed extension covering the rest of Charvil Country Park. This consists of a variety of grassland habitats with some species of lowland meadow present, fen habitats, willow carr on an old gravel pit site and a third gravel pit in the south.

Site Description Ruscombe Wood is an area of largely ash dominated woodland with areas of hazel coppice without standard trees. English elm is abundant in places. There is a small area of Scot’s pine plantation. Bluebell is often dominant in the ground flora. Lesser celandine and ground ivy are frequent in places. Common nettle dominates some areas. The wood has patches of early purple orchid and twayblade. Other species associated with long established woodland found here include three nerved sandwort and goldilocks buttercup. The site has wet depressions probably resulting from quarrying in the past. One is dominated by willows and the other supports greater pond sedge swamp with willows at the edge. To the west the site includes a pond and an area of rough grassland. Vale Wood hasn’t been surveyed for many years and consists of ash woodland with some hazel coppice.

Grid Reference: SU809749 Area (ha): 1.47
Local Authority: West Berkshire Last Survey Date(s): 16/04/2007
Date Selected or Reconfirmed: 2008
Site Description
A small Lowland Mixed Deciduous Woodland with a silted pond and an area of tree planting towards the west. The canopy is predominately oak and birch with occasional ash. Hazel makes up the understorey in sections and is growing tall into a sub-canopy. In areas the copse lacks a developed understorey with young sycamore, hawthorn, ash, elder and elm regeneration. The field layer is made up of bluebell with greater stitchwort, meadow-grass and cleavers. Other species include wood anemone and common dog-violet. Towards the east lies an area of previously coppiced ash with occasional hazel. In a couple of areas it appears that drainage may be impeded, perhaps due to the clay, where bugle, remote sedge, enchanter’s nightshade and soft rush are present. Towards the east lies a heavily silted and shaded pond filled with algae and leaf litter. There is little emergent vegetation, apart from a stand of bottle sedge on the east side of the pond. The western end of the copse consists of relatively young tree planting with wild cherry and ash. A couple of young hazels are resprouting after recent coppicing. Young elm saplings are predominant in this section and low growing bramble and honeysuckle scramble across the field layer. The site lies within a kilometre to the east of Tywford and is in close proximity to three other woodland areas.

Site Description
A small wooded with elements of both wet woodland and fen UKBAP Priority Habitats. Windsor Ait consists of a poplar plantation over a sedge bed, areas of willow woodland and sections of drier broadleaved woodland. The plantation overlies a greater pond-sedge swamp with comfrey, hemlock water-dropwort, patchy nettle and mint. Occasional elder and blackthorn scrub are scattered across the site. On the slightly higher and probably drier areas a tall herb community lies under poplar with young hawthorn and oak. The sward consists of hemlock water-dropwort, nettle, creeping thistle, wild angelica and pond-sedge. Moving eastwards the site grades to a wet woodland made up of crack willow over pond-sedge. This grades to a broadleaved woodland community towards the south with oak and ash over hawthorn, elder and blackthorn. A couple of drains are present where one is lined with pollarded crack willow. The site lies close by to two similar Wildlife Heritage Sites, which forms a larger stretch of wetland habitat along the Twyford Brook.

This quarry represents and excellent example of the Upper Chalk of the area and is one of only a few of this quality. It has an advantage of being in good condition and accessible (with permission) to most groups. The exposures are in horizontally bedded Upper Chalk with bands of nodular flint. The exposure on the southern boundary of the quarry provides access to the upper part of the face and shows rubbly chalk with irregular and lens-like inclusions of possibly brickearth. There is a sediment-filled solution cavity visible in the south-east corner of the quarry. This is the only accessible exposure of Upper Chalk within the area. Fossils such as echinoids, corals, bivalves (oysters) and crinoids have been collected from the site. The chalk represented in this quarry is amongst the youngest preserved in Berkshire, the topmost layer having been removed by erosion. The area of Berkshire was a relatively high underwater shelf during deposition of the Chalk sediments and so the sequence itself is condensed in comparison and about half the thickness of chalk sequences in the basin areas. Berkshire was part of an uplifted belt known as the Berkshire-Chiltern belt, part of the London Platform. Lower Palaeogene sediments are preserved in some of the uppermost parts of the quarry as thin layer and infill into cavities.
Flints are only developed in the uppermost of the Middle Chalk and the Upper Chalk. In the quarry many of the flints found are tabular having developed along a bedding surface and some are very large (>30cm).
The Palaeogene material at the upper level represents deposition following a long period of erosion and is non marine. These beds where well developed are shown to be estuarine sands and mottled clays of palaeosols.
BBOWT Reserves Description
LODDON
Site Code: Lod
Grid Reference: SU785757
Area (ha): 13.7
Local Authority: Wokingham
Site Description
This large, flooded gravel pit has several islands and a ragged, scrubby fringe that skirts around the shallows. This creates ideal conditions for wintering birds such as gadwall, smew, tufted duck, pochard, cormorant and snipe. The shallows are perfect feeding areas for these wetland birds. The islands provide quiet spots where common terns, lapwings and redshank can breed safely away from predators such as foxes. During the winter months, the handsome male smew attracts many birdwatchers. In spring and summer, the scrubby perimeter of the lake is home to blackcaps, whitethroats and other songbirds. Look out also for nesting wetland birds such as the great crested grebe, moorhen and coot. These birds nest among the reeds and other aquatic plants where overhanging branches or willows trail into the shallows. Herons may be seen like statues waiting to spear a fish. You may be lucky enough to watch the elaborate courtship ‘mirror dance’ of the great crested grebe in which the male and female stand beak to beak and rise out of the water whilst shaking their heads. The plant life around the lake attracts a range of butterflies, dragonflies and other aquatic insects. On summer evenings, bats will take advantage of the rich pickings as they hunt over the lake.

19 Berkshire Conservation Target Areas Descriptions.doc Waltham to Binfield Woods and Parklands
North of Wokingham and Bracknell there are numerous scattered ancient woodland sites as well as some areas of Parkland. This area encompasses the main concentration of these sites covering an area from White Waltham in the east to Haines Hill and Standlake Parks in the west and Binfield in the south. Joint Character Area: Thames Valley Geology: The southern part of this area is on the clay, silt and sand of the London Clay Formation with occasional areas of River Terrace Sands and Gravels. To the north there is a band of Lambeth Group (Reading Beds) There is also an area of chalk at the northern end and occasional areas of alluvium along streams. Topography: A relatively flat area cut through by two shallow stream valleys. Biodiversity: € Lowland Mixed Deciduous Woodland: There are numerous sites with ancient deciduous woodland in this area including Great Thrift Wood SSSI and the large Great Wood. Some of the woodlands are obvious remnants of once larger sites. € Wet Woodland and fen: Wet woodland is found in places along the streams and some is found in association with fen habitat. Some of the fen habitat has been planted with poplars and willows, including Hungerford Meadow, which supported a mix of fen, wet grassland and lowland meadow habitat. € Lowland Meadow: There are a small number of sites with lowland meadow habitat, or remnants of lowland meadow habitat in the north-west of the area. € Parkland: The parklands are not particularly well known but there is one large site, Haines Hill Park, the adjacent Standlake Park, both of which have veteran trees, and also Billingbear and Shottesbrooke Parks. There are a number of other parkland sites. € Farmland: the area south of Littlewick Green supports the last known population of corn bunting in East Berkshire.
Access: Limited to footpaths and bridleways. Targets and opportunities: management and restoration of woodland. The relative lack of other habitat makes this a good target area for additional woodland planting although there is good potential to recreate and to restore and extend the remaining lowland meadow habitats and there is also farmland bird interest. Parkland management. Fen management and restoration, including removal of some wet woodland. Management for farmland birds.

GUIDANCE ON THE VARIOUS STATUTORY AND NON-STATUTORY WILDLIFE SITE DESIGNATIONS
SITE DESIGNATIONS THAT PROTECT THE UK'S NATURAL HERITAGE THROUGH STATUTE
LOCAL NATURE RESERVES (LNRS) (IN ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES)
Under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 LNRs may be declared by local authorities after consultation with the relevant statutory nature conservation agency. LNRs are declared and managed for nature conservation, and provide opportunities for research and education, or simply enjoying and having contact with nature.
NATIONAL NATURE RESERVES (NNRS)
NNRs contain examples of some of the most important natural and semi-natural terrestrial and coastal ecosystems in Great Britain. They are managed to conserve their habitats or to provide special opportunities for scientific study of the habitats communities and species represented within them.
NNRs are declared by the statutory country conservation agencies under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. In Northern Ireland, Nature Reserves are designated under the Amenity Lands Act (Northern Ireland) 1965.
RAMSAR SITES
Ramsar sites are designated under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, agreed in Ramsar, Iran, in 1971. Originally intended to protect sites of importance especially as waterfowl habitat, the Convention has broadened its scope over the years to cover all aspects of wetland conservation and wise use, recognizing wetlands as ecosystems that are extremely important for biodiversity conservation in general and for the well-being of human communities. The Convention adopts a broad definition of wetland, namely "areas of marsh, fen, peatland or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six metres". Wetlands "may incorporate riparian and coastal zones adjacent to the wetlands, and islands or bodies of marine water deeper than six metres at low tide lying within the wetlands".
There is only one Ramsar site in Berkshire or Oxfordshire, South West London Waterbodies.
SITES OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) (ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES)
The SSSI series has developed since 1949 as the national suite of sites providing statutory protection for the best examples of the UK's flora, fauna, or geological or physiographical Produced by TVERC September 2012

features. These sites are also used to underpin other national and international nature conservation designations. Most SSSIs are privately-owned or managed; others are owned or managed by public bodies or non-government organisations.
Originally notified under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, SSSIs have been renotified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Improved provisions for the protection and management of SSSIs were introduced by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (in England and Wales) and the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004.
SPECIAL AREAS OF CONSERVATION (SAC) AND SITES OF COMMUNITY IMPORTANCE (SCI)
SACs are designated under the EC Habitats Directive. SACs are areas which have been identified as best representing the range and variety within the European Union of habitats and (non-bird) species listed on Annexes I and II to the Directive. SACs in terrestrial areas and territorial marine waters out to 12 nautical miles are designated under the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994 (as amended). New and/or amended Habitats sites which have been submitted to the European Commission by Government, but not yet formally adopted by the Commission, are referred to as candidate Special Areas of Conservation (cSACs). Sites which have been adopted by the EC, but not yet formally designated by governments of Member States are known as Sites of Community Importance (SCIs). In the UK, designation of SACs is devolved to the relevant administration within each country.
SACs, together with SPAs, form the Natura 2000 network.
SPECIAL PROTECTION AREAS (SPA)
SPAs are classified by the UK Government under the EC Birds Directive. SPAs are areas of the most important habitat for rare (listed on Annex I to the Directive) and migratory birds within the European Union. SPAs in terrestrial areas and territorial marine waters out to 12 nautical miles are classified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
SPAs, together with SACs, form the Natura 2000 network.

NON-STATUTORY NATURAL HERITAGE CONSERVATION DESIGNATIONS
LOCAL WILDLIFE SITES
Local authorities for any given area may designate certain areas as being of local conservation interest. The criteria for inclusion, and the level of protection provided, if any, may vary between areas. Most individual counties have a similar scheme, although they do vary. Most Local Wildlife Sites systems involve a panel of ecologists and others in the development of local criteria and the selection of the sites. Panels usually include a local government ecologist, an Natural England representative, the Local Wildlife Trust, the Local Environmental Record Centre and sometimes include a representative of local landowners and local naturalists. These sites, which may be given various titles such as ‘County Wildlife Sites’ (CWS), 'Local Wildlife Sites' (LWS), 'Local Nature Conservation Sites' (LNCS), 'Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation' (SINCs), or Sites of Nature Conservation Importance' (SNCIs), together with statutory designations, are defined in local plans under the Town and Country Planning system and the National Planning Policy Framework and are a material consideration when planning applications are being determined. As part of a national standardisation process these sites have recently been renamed as Local Wildlife Sites in Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Previously they were known as County Wildlife Sites in Oxfordshire and Wildlife Heritage Sites in Berkshire. Although the use of these names, especially in citations and descriptions, is being edited and replaced with Local Wildlife Sites or LWS it is likely that some references will remain to these former names until this is complete.
PROPOSED LOCAL WILDLIFE SITES AND EXTENSIONS
These are also included on designated sites maps. They are areas thought to include important areas of UKBAP habitat or priority or protected species populations. Extensions are likely to have similar habitats to the adjacent Local Wildlife Sites. Local Authorities are made aware of these sites. They will not have been fully surveyed and taken to the selection panel as yet.
NGO PROPERTIES / NATURE RESERVES
A variety of non-governmental organisations such as the John Muir Trust, Plantlife, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Wildlife Trusts and Woodland Trust own or manage nature reserves or other areas of land that are important for biodiversity. These sites may be intended primarily for nature conservation, or for other purposes such as protection of landscape features or the provision public access to the countryside. These areas of themselves have no statutory basis, but a large number are also designated SSSIs / NNRs / SPAs / SACs / Ramsar sites, etc. In Berkshire and Oxfordshire, BBOWT (Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust), Woodland Trust and RSPB sites fall into this category.
LOCAL GEOLOGICAL SITES (LGS)
Local Geological Sites formerly known as Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites (RIGS) are the most important places for geology and geomorphology outside statutorily protected land such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). As part of a national
Produced by TVERC September 2012
TVERC is hosted by Oxfordshire County Council
standardisation process these sites have recently been renamed as Local Geological Sites in Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Sites are selected under locally-developed criteria, according to their value for education, scientific study, historical significance or aesthetic qualities. Whilst not benefiting from statutory protection, LGS are equivalent to Local Wildlife Sites, and ''...consideration of their importance becomes integral to the planning process”.
OTHER SITES
Occasionally other sites might be shown on maps. These are likely to be sites with some wildlife interest, usually managed by local groups, local authorities or town councils but which do not have a specific statutory or non-statutory designation.
Some local authorities within Oxfordshire and Berkshire have identified other sites which are protected through policies in their local plans, including Oxford Local Wildlife Sites in Oxford City and district wildlife sites in Cherwell.
CONSERVATION TARGET AREAS/ BIODIVERSITY OPPORTUNITY AREAS
These landscape scale areas have been identified as supporting high concentrations of UKBAP habitats and species populations and the potential to restore habitats at a landscape scale. These areas act as a focus for targeting resources into habitat management and restoration.
ANCIENT WOODLAND
Ancient woodland areas within Bracknell Forest and Wokingham Borough are from an updated layer of ancient woodland produced by TVERC for Bracknell Forest Council and Wokingham Borough Council in 2015-16. This data has been provided to Natural England but has not yet been made available and thus differs from that shown on the Magic Map Interactive Map. For information of the methodology for selecting ancient woodland areas please contact TVERC.

Appendix 3: Legislation and Policy
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 40 of 49
NATIONAL PLANNING POLICY National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) Nationally, the Government’s commitment to sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity is set out in the National Planning Policy Framework. The NPPF was published in 2012 and replaces previous national planning policy, including ‘Planning Policy Statement 9 (Biological and Geological Conservation)’. At the heart of the NPPF is the presumption in favour of sustainable development (Paragraph 14). This presumption however does not apply when developments require appropriate assessment under the Habitats or Birds Directives (Paragraph 119). Under Paragraph 109, the NPPF sets out that “the planning system should contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment by: Minimising impacts on biodiversity and providing net gains in biodiversity where possible, contributing to the Government’s commitment to halt the overall decline in biodiversity, including by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures.” If a proposed development would result in significant harm to the natural environmental which cannot be avoided (through the use of an alternative site with less harmful impacts), mitigated or compensated for (as a last resort) then planning permission should be refused. Paragraph 118 comprises a number of principles which Local Authorities should apply: When determining planning applications, local planning authorities should aim to conserve and enhance biodiversity by applying the following principles: if significant harm resulting from a development cannot be avoided (through locating on an alternative site with less harmful impacts), adequately mitigated, or, as a last resort, compensated for, then planning permission should be refused; Proposed development on land within or outside a Site of Special Scientific Interest likely to have an adverse effect on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (either individually or in combination with other developments) should not normally be permitted. Where an adverse effect on the site’s notified special interest features is likely, an exception should only be made where the benefits of the development, at this site, clearly outweigh both the impacts that it is likely to have on the features of the site that make it of special scientific interest and any broader impacts on the national network of Sites of Special Scientific Interest; development proposals where the primary objective is to conserve or enhance biodiversity should be permitted; opportunities to incorporate biodiversity in and around developments should be encouraged; planning permission should be refused for development resulting in the loss or deterioration of irreplaceable habitats, including ancient woodland and the loss of aged or veteran trees found outside ancient woodland, unless the need for, and benefits of, the development in that location clearly outweigh the loss; and the following wildlife sites should be given the same protection as European sites: – potential Special Protection Areas and possible Special Areas of Conservation; – listed or proposed Ramsar sites; and
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 41 of 49
– sites identified, or required, as compensatory measures for adverse effects on European sites, potential Special Protection Areas, possible Special Areas of Conservation, and listed or proposed Ramsar sites.”. National policy therefore implicitly recognises the importance of biodiversity and that with sensitive planning and design, development and conservation of the natural heritage can co-exist and benefits, in some circumstances, can be achieved. In March 2014 the Department for Communities and Local Government released guidance to support the NPPF, known as the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). This has been produced to provide guidance for planners and communities which will help deliver high quality development and sustainable growth. Government Circular ‘06/2005: Biodiversity and Geological Conservation The Government Circular 06/05 - Statutory Obligations and Their Impact within the Planning System’, which accompanied Planning Policy Statement 9, still remains valid. This guidance provides administrative guidance on the application of the law relating to planning and nature conservation as it applies in England. Paragraph 98 advises that the “presence of a protected species is a material consideration when a planning authority is considering a development proposal that, if carried out, would be likely to result in harm to the species or its habitat. Local authorities should consult Natural England before granting planning permission. They should consider attaching appropriate planning conditions or entering into planning obligations under which the developer would take steps to secure the long-term protection of the species. They should also advise developers that they must comply with any statutory species’ protection provisions affecting the site concerned … ”. Paragraph 99 advises that “it is essential that the presence or otherwise of protected species, and the extent that they may be affected by the proposed development, is established before the planning permission is granted, otherwise all relevant material considerations may not have been addressed in making the decision. The need to ensure ecological surveys are carried out should therefore only be left to coverage under the planning conditions in exceptional circumstances, with the result that the surveys are carried out after planning permission has been granted.” Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006 The NERC Act came into force in 2006 and Section 40 places duties on public bodies to have regard to the conservation of biodiversity in the exercise of their normal functions. Section 41 of the Act requires the Secretary of State to publish a list of habitats and species which are of principal importance for the conservation of biodiversity in England. The list is used to guide decision-makers such as public bodies, including local authorities and utilities companies, in implementing their duty under Section 40, to have regard for the conservation of biodiversity. The current lists of species and habitats is largely derived from those listed under the UK Bap, which continue to be regarded as a priority under country-level biodiversity strategies. In England there are 53 habitats and 943 species of principal importance on the Section 41 list.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 42 of 49
UK Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework In 2007, the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Partnership published an updated list of priority UK species and habitats covering terrestrial, freshwater and marine biodiversity to focus conservation action for species and habitats in the UK. The UK Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework succeeds the UK BAP. The Framework continues the conservation work initiated by the UK BAP following the establishment of the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992. The purpose of the Framework is to set a broad structure for conservation across the UK until 2020. In summary: To set out a shared vision and priorities for UK-wide activities, in a framework jointly owned by the four countries, and to which their own strategies will contribute; To identify priorities at a UK scale which will help deliver biodiversity targets and the EU Biodiversity Strategy; To facilitate the aggregation and collation of information on activity and outcomes across all countries of the UK; and To streamline governance arrangements for UK-wide activities.
GENERAL BIODIVERSITY LEGISLATION Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) The Habitats Regulations 2017 consolidate and update the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994 and all its amendments. The Habitats Regulations 2017 are the principal means by which the EEC Council Directive 92/43 (The Habitats Directive) is transposed into domestic law. The Habitats Regulations 2017 place a duty upon the relevant authority to identify sites which are of importance to the habitats and species listed in Annexes I and II of the Habitats Directive. Those sites which meet the criteria are, in conjunction with the European Commission, designated as Sites of Community Importance, which are subsequently identified as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC). The Regulations also place a duty upon the government to maintain a register of European protected sites designated as a result of EC Directive 79/409/EEC on the Conservation of Wild Birds (The Birds Directive). These sites are termed Special Protection Areas (SPA). SPAs and SACs form a network of sites known as Natura 2000. SPAs and SACs are defined within the Regulations as a ‘European site’. The Regulations regulate the management of land within European sites, requiring land managers to have the consent of Natural England before carrying out management. The Regulations define competent authorities as public bodies or statutory undertakers to make an appropriate assessment of any plan or project they intend to permit or carry out, if the plan or project is likely to have a significant effect upon a European site. The permission may only be given if the plan or project is ascertained to have no adverse effect upon the integrity of the European site. If the competent authority wishes to permit a plan or project despite a negative assessment, no alternatives and imperative reasons of over-riding public interest must be demonstrated, and there is a process involving the Secretary of State and the option of consulting the European Commission.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 43 of 49
In practice, there will be very few cases where a plan or project is permitted despite a negative assessment. This means that a planning application has to be assessed by the Local Planning Authority, based on information provided by the client, and the assessment must either decide that it is likely to have no significant effect on a European site or ascertain that there is no adverse effect upon the integrity of the European site. The Regulations also are applicable to Land use plans, including Regional Spatial Strategies and Development Plan Documents. If the plan is likely to have a significant effect upon a European site, the permission may only be given if the plan is ascertained to have no adverse effect upon the integrity of the European site. This approach gives rise to a hierarchy of plans each with related appropriate assessments. The Regulations provide protection for individual species of flora and fauna, listed on Schedules 2 and 4 respectively. The Regulations make it an offence, subject to exceptions, to deliberately capture, kill, disturb or trade in the animals listed within Schedule 2 or to pick, collect, cut, uproot, destroy or trade in the plants listed in Schedule 4. Natural England may issue a licence for actions that are otherwise illegal, subject to the satisfaction of the three tests: no alternative; over-riding public interest; and maintenance of the favourable conservation status of the species. The Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) 1981 (as amended) The WCA consolidates and amends pre-existing national wildlife legislation in order to implement the Bern Conventions and the Birds Directive. It complements the Conservation (Natural Habitats. &c.) Regulations 1994 (as amended), offering protection to a wider range of species. The Act also provides for the designation and protection of national conservation sites of value for their floral, faunal or geological features, termed Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). Schedules of the act provide lists of protected species, both flora and fauna, and detail the possible offences that apply to these species. All relevant species specific legislation is detailed later in this section. The Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act 2000 The CRoW Act amends and strengthens existing wildlife legislation detailed within the WCA. The Act places a duty upon government and the National Assembly for Wales to have regard for biodiversity and provides increased powers for the protection and maintenance of SSSIs. The Act also contains a list of habitats and species under Section 74 for which conservation measures should be promoted, in accordance with the recommendations of the Convention on Biological Diversity (Rio Earth Summit) 1992. The Hedgerow Regulations 1997 The Hedgerow Regulations make provision for the identification of ‘important’ hedgerows which may not be removed without consent from the Local Planning Authority. The Regulations specifically exclude any hedgerow which is within, or borders, a domestic garden. A hedgerow is important under the regulations if it: Contains certain categories of protected or Red Data Book species of birds, animals or plants listed in the Wildlife and Countryside Act or Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC)publications. Includes: (a) at least 7 woody species, on average, in a 30 metre length; (b) at least 6 woody species, on average, in a 30 metre length and has at least 3 associated features;
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 44 of 49
(c) at least 6 woody species, on average, in a 30 metre length, including a black-poplar tree, or large-leaved lime, or small-leaved lime, or wild service-tree; or (d) at least 5 woody species, on average, in a 30 metre length and has at least 4 associated features. The number of woody species is reduced by one in northern counties. The list of 56 woody species comprises mainly shrubs and trees. It generally excludes climbers (such as clematis, honeysuckle and bramble) but includes wild roses. Runs alongside a bridleway, footpath, road used as a public path, or a byway open to all traffic; And includes at least 4 woody species, on average, in a 30 metre length and has at least 2 of the associated features listed at (i) to (vii) below. The associated features are: (i) a bank or wall supporting the hedgerow; (ii) less than 10% gaps; (iii) on average, at least one tree per 50 metres; (iv) at least 3 species from a list of 57 woodland plants; (v) a ditch; (vi) a number of connections with other hedgerows, ponds or woodland; and (vii) a parallel hedge within 15 metres
SPECIES LEGISLATION Badger Badger is protected under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. It is based primarily on the need to protect badgers from baiting and deliberate harm or injury, rather than being a response to unfavourable conservation status. It is a duty of the planning authorities to consider the conservation and welfare impacts of development upon badger and issue planning permissions accordingly. The Act makes it an offence to: Wilfully kill, injure, take, possess or cruelly ill-treat a badger; To attempt to do so; or To intentionally or recklessly interfere with a sett. A badger sett is defined in the legislation as a “structure or place, which displays signs indicating current use by a badger”. Current use is not synonymous with current occupation and a sett is defined as such as long as signs of current usage are present. Sett interference includes damaging or destroying a sett, obstructing access to a sett and disturbing a badger whilst it is occupying a sett. Any intentional or reckless work that results in the interference of badger setts is illegal without a licence from Natural England. Development should not be permitted unless it is possible to ensure the survival of badgers in their existing range and that the population status is unaffected. ODPM Circular 06/2005 provides further guidance on statutory obligations towards badger within the planning system. Paragraph 124 states that “The likelihood of disturbing a badger sett, or adversely affecting badgers’ foraging territory, or links between them, or significantly increasing the likelihood of road or rail casualties amongst badger populations, are capable of being material considerations in planning decisions.”.
18-0233 PERCY COTTAGE PHASE 1 V1 LF 230518 Page 45 of 49
Natural England provides standing advice which is capable of being a material consideration in planning decisions. Mitigation is recommended to avoid impacts on badger setts, which includes maintaining or creating new foraging areas and maintaining or creating access (commuting routes) between setts and watering areas. Bats All British bats are classed as European Protected Species under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and are also listed under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). Under Regulation 41 of the Habitats Regulations, it is an offence to: Deliberately capture, injure or kill a bat; Deliberately disturb bats; or Damage or destroy a bat roost (breeding site or resting place). 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 a hibernating migratory species, to hibernate or migrate; or to affect significantly the local distribution or abundance of the species to which they belong. It is an offence under the Habitats Regulations for any person to have in their possession or to control or transport, to sell or exchange or to offer for sale, any live or dead bats, part of a bat or anything derived from bats, which has unlawfully been taken from the wild. Natural England is the appropriate authority for determining licence applications in England for works associated with developments affecting bats. Before a licence may be issues, the three tests must be satisfied. In addition, bats are listed under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, making it an offence to intentionally or recklessly: Obstruct access to any structure or place which any bat uses for shelter or protection; or Disturb bats while occupying a structure or place that it uses for that purpose. Birds All wild birds and their nests receive protection under Section 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). With certain exceptions, all wild birds are protected such that it is an offence to intentionally: Kill, injure or take any wild bird; Take, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird whilst in use* or being built; or Take or destroy an egg of any wild bird. *The nests of birds that re-use their nests as listed under Schedule ZA1, e.g. golden eagle, are protected against taking, damage or destruction irrespective of whether they are in use or not”. Some species listed in Schedule 1 receive protection by special penalties. Subject to the provisions of the Act, if a person intentionally or recklessly: Disturbs any wild bird included in Schedule 1 while it is building a nest or is in, on or near a nest containing eggs or young; or Disturbs dependent young of such a bird, he shall be guilty of an offence.

The RSPB categorise British bird species in terms of conservation importance based on a number of criteria including the level of threat to a species’ population status. Species are listed as Green, Amber or Red. Red Listed species are considered to be of the highest conservation concern being either globally threatened and or experiencing a high/rapid level of population decline (≥50% over the past 25 years). Amphibians All British amphibian species receive a degree of protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). The level of protected afforded to amphibians varies from protection from trade or sale (smooth newt, palmate newt, common frog and common toad), to more rigorous protected afforded to great crested newt and natterjack toad. Great crested newt (GCN) is protected under the Act and is also classed as a European Protected Species under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended). Although GCN are regularly encountered throughout lowland England, the UK holds a large percentage of the world population of the species. As such, the UK has an international obligation to conserve the species under domestic and European legislation. Under the Habitats Regulations 2017 it is an offence to: Deliberately kill, injure or capture a GCN; Deliberately disturb GCN, including in particular any disturbance which is likely to impair their ability to survive, to reproduce or to hibernate, or to migrate, or which is likely to affect significantly their local distribution or abundance; Deliberately take or destroy eggs of a GCN; or Damage or destroy a breeding site or resting place of a GCN. Under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), there are further provisions, making it an offence to: Obstruct access to any structure or place which any GCN uses for shelter or protection; or Disturb any GCN while occupying a structure or place which it uses for that purpose. Should any proposed development work be likely to result in an offence, a licence will need to be obtained from Natural England, subject to appropriate measures to safeguard GCN. Hazel Dormouse Hazel dormouse are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended). Dormouse and their resting places are fully protected. Without a licence it is an offence to: Deliberately disturb, capture, injure or kill hazel dormouse; To damage or destroy their breeding or resting places; or To disturb or obstruct access to any place used by them for shelter. It is also an offence to possess or sell a wild dormouse. Reptiles All six species of British reptile are listed under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), which protects individuals from killing or injury. The Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW) introduced the new offence of ‘recklessness’.

Sand Lizard and Smooth Snake are afforded greater protection under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) but are unlikely to be found at the Site due to their geographical distribution. With respect to planning policy, protected and notable species are afforded policy protection at a national level by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2012, paragraph 117 which states planning policies should “promote the protection and recovery of priority species populations.” The Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act, Section 41 (S41) requires the Secretary of State to publish a list of habitats and species which are of principal importance for conservation biodiversity in England. The S41 list is used to guide decision-makers such as public bodies, including local and regional authorities, in implementing their duty under section 40 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, to have regard to the conservation of biodiversity in England, when carrying out their normal functions. Hedgehog Hedgehogs receive protection under Schedule 6 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), which lists animals which may not be killed or taken by certain methods, namely traps and nets, poisons, automatic weapons, electrical devices, smokes/gasses and others. Humane trapping of hedgehogs for research purposes requires a licence. Hedgehogs are a Species of Principal Importance in England and are thus capable of being material considerations in the planning process. Invertebrates Certain species of invertebrate and their habitat (aquatic and terrestrial) are afforded full protection under Section 9, Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). This part of the WACA (1981) makes it is an offence to: Intentionally kill, injure, take; Possess or control (live or dead, part or derivative); Damage, destroy or obstruct access to any structure or place used by a scheduled animal for shelter or protection; Disturb an animal occupying such a structure or place; Sell, offer for sale, possess or transport for the purpose of sale (live or dead animal, part or derivative); and Advertise for buying or selling live or dead animal, part or derivative. The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) under Schedule 2, list three species, therefore classing them as European protected species (EPS). EPS Invertebrate species include: Large blue butterfly Phengaria arion; Fisher’s estuarine moth Gortyna borelii lunata; and Little whirlpool ramshorn snail Anisus vorticulus. More than 350 invertebrate species are listed under Section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (2006), and form the Species of Principle Importance in England.
