  • Harlow District Council Local Wildlife Site Review
    HARLOW DISTRICT COUNCIL LOCAL WILDLIFE SITE REVIEW 2010 FINAL March 2011 EECOS Abbotts Hall Farm, Great Wigborough, Colchester, Essex, CO5 7RZ 01621 862986, [email protected] Company Registered No. 2853947 VAT Registered No. 945 7459 77 IMPORTANT NOTES Nomenclature The terms "Site of Importance for Nature Conservation" (SINC), “Wildlife Sites” and “County Wildlife Site” (CoWS) used in previous reports are here replaced by the currently generally accepted term of “Local Wildlife Site” (LoWS). The term should be viewed in a national context, with “Local” referring to county level significance. Rationale It is hoped that this identification of Local Wildlife Sites is not seen as a hindrance to the livelihood of those landowners affected, or an attempt to blindly influence the management of such sites. It is an attempt to describe the wildlife resource we have in the county as a whole, which has been preserved thus far as a result of the management by landowners. The Essex Wildlife Trust and the Local and Unitary Authorities of Essex hope to be able to help landowners retain and enhance this biodiversity for the future. In recent years, the existence of a Local Wildlife Site on a farm has been seen as an advantage when applying for grant-aid from agri-environment schemes, with such grants favouring areas with a proven nature conservation interest. Public Access Identification as a Local Wildlife Site within this report does not confer any right of public access to the site, above and beyond any Public Rights of Way that may exist. The vast majority of the Sites in the county are in private ownership and this should be respected at all times.

This is the sixth year that the monitoring report has been completed for the LDF, as before some of the monitoring data is not available, and in some instances indicators have been required where data is not available. In these cases the most recent figures have been used. This will at least establish a baseline for comparison in following years. 1.3 The monitoring data contained within this report generally covers four main areas; Section 2: An overview of the progress in implementing the Local Development Framework. This includes how the Council is progressing in meeting timeframes and targets. Section 3: Measuring ‘contextual indicators’ which give a snapshot of Harlow, highlighting key issues which new policy can be measured against. This includes demographics, social-cultural issues, economics and built environment.

  • Harlow Open Space and Green Infrastructure Study Chapters 6 to 9
    6 Proposed open space standards Open space standards 6.1 This section recommends open space provision standards. These were defined through review of the existing provision of open space, alongside the comments received through the various forms of public consultation, as well as consideration of nationally recognised provision standards, and those adopted by neighbouring districts. There are three types of open space standard: • Accessibility: The maximum distance residents should be required to travel to use an open space of a specific typology • Quantity: The provision (measured in m2 or hectares) of each open space typology which should be provided as a minimum per 1000 population • Quality: The quality of the open space provided in each typology, assessed using the Green Flag criteria. • Value: The value of the open space provided in each typology. 6.2 The main national standards relating to open space are the National Playing Field Association (NPFA) standards, and Natural England’s Accessible Natural Green Space (ANGSt) standards. These standards cover the accessibility and quantity elements of open space. Adjoining district East Hertfordshire has adopted the NPFA standards5, whilst Epping Forest District, which also adjoins Harlow, has not adopted any standards to date. Harlow’s previous Open Space SPD also utilises the NPFA standards. 6.3 No quantity or accessibility standards have been proposed for Churchyards and Cemeteries. This reflects the fact that proximity is not considered to be a requirement of this open space type. Provision standards for Outdoor Sports Facilities were developed through the recent Harlow Playing Pitch Strategy. Developing the Quality and Value standards by hierarchy 6.4 Further analysis of the scoring was carried out to identify a benchmark standard for each typology and the level of the hierarchy, in order to assess the performance of open spaces in terms of Quality and Value.

Survey Finding and Recommendations Summary The statutory designation search undertaken as part of the desk study identified that the site is not situated within nor bounding any statutory designated locations. It is not considered that the proposal would have any adverse impact upon statutory and non-statutory designated locations. In summary, the site comprises a small parcel of land, bounding dwellings, roads and paddock land use. No trees with bat roosting potential would be lost to a proposal and no trees with potentially suitable roosting features were identified on site. The site does not contain features that would form part of a wider bat foraging/commuting network. It is not considered that the proposal would have any adverse impact upon the local bat population. Whilst the site does not contain features that would form part of a wider foraging/commuting network, it is considered reasonably likely that small numbers of bats may forage and commute in the wider area. Therefore, in order to provide enhancements, it is advised that new tree/hedgerow planting be undertaken as part of the proposal.
