Roundshaw Grazing Page 11 Agenda Item 10 London Borough of Sutton Beddington and Wallington Local Committee 11 October 2011 Report of the Environmental Sustainability Manager Roundshaw Downs – HABITAT IMPROVEMENTS Ward Location: Beddington South Author(s) and Contact Phone Number(s): Hendryk Jurk (Ext. 5329) Area Served: Beddington South Executive Councillor: Cllr Colin Hall Summary This report sets out the results of the consultation on the introduction of conservation grazing as a site management tool for Roundshaw Downs Local Nature Reserve (LNR). Conservation grazing is a well documented method of improving biodiversity and is widely used by organisations such as RSPB and National Trust as preferred site management. The proposals aim to ensure long-term improvements to the chalk grassland habitat at Roundshaw Downs. Chalk grassland is a local, regional and national Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Habitat. Improving the Borough’s biodiversity is part of Sutton’s commitment to become London’s most sustainable suburb. The introduction of conservation grazing requires the installation of an accessible permanent enclosure. This would impact on a number of site uses currently carried out on the LNR. The current funding stream secured through the partnership with the Old Surrey Downs Project would require implementation in 2011. The consultation sought site users’ views as to whether a grazing project would be supported and what issues would need addressing to minimise the impact on current uses. In a first consultation, 128 responses were received. 75 (58%) of respondents were in favour of the principle of conservation grazing, 47 (37%) against and 6 (5%) undecided. This result warranted further work to modify the proposals and carry out additional public engagement work. The second consultation received 45 responses with 26 (57%) in favour, 15 (33%) against and 4 (9%) undecided. The modified proposals include two options: a larger grazing area separated in two compartments to rotate livestock or a single smaller area of compartment 2 only. The Committee is requested to: (a) Note the attached report on the consultation results (b) Agree to support the introduction of conservation grazing on Roundshaw Downs in 2011 using the currently available funding (c) Agree the preferred option to introduce conservation grazing for implementation 1 Agenda Item 10 Page 12 1. Background Roundshaw Downs is Sutton’s largest Local Nature Reserve at approximately 38ha. The site is designated for its Metropolitan Importance as chalk grassland habitat with associated plant species and its value as breeding habitat for skylarks. The site has a small number of localised indicator species for the chalk grassland community this site should represent for a dip slope of the North Downs. The majority of the grassland is rank neutral grassland that contains common and widespread species and is consequently of lower conservation concern than rare chalk grassland habitat. In order to improve Roundshaw Downs’ biodiversity for chalk grassland plants and invertebrates, it is proposed to introduce cattle grazing as a tool for nature conservation management for parts of the site. Cattle grazing on this site would positively improve the sward and botanical distribution, leading to an increase in overall species diversity. Conservation grazing is a well documented method of improving floristic and hence, faunal diversity and is widely used by organisations including RSPB, National Trust, County Councils and Natural England as a preferred site management tool. The proposals have been developed in partnership with the Downlands Countryside Management Project (DCMP) who runs the lottery funded Old Surrey Downs Project (OSD) to promote public understanding of the value of the nationally declining chalk grassland habitat. OSD also provides conservation grazing on a number of sites within the South London and North Surrey area and has secured funding for the grazing infrastructure at Roundshaw Downs. 2. Issues 1. The London Borough of Sutton launched a two part consultation to investigate whether the users of the Local Nature Reserve are supportive of a proposal for cattle grazing on this site to greatly improve the biodiversity value. 2. Cattle grazing requires the installation of permanent fencing that may impact on general uses of the site through restricting open access and creating pinch points. The enclosure would be accessible for all site users. The currently secured funding for the fencing is only available until the end of 2011, and implementation would start in autumn/ winter 2011 should the project go ahead using this funding stream. 3. The first initial consultation ran from 8 December 2010 to the 28 February 2011 with the aim to establish whether there is sufficient public support for the project and to identify how to minimise the impact on other responsible uses for the site. 4. The results of the initial consultation were presented to this Local Committee on 17 May 2011 where it was agreed to • carry out further public engagement work to increase community support for conservation grazing on Roundshaw Downs and to • re-consult on a modified grazing scheme that addresses issues raised in the initial consultation 2 Page 13 Agenda Item 10 5. Animal welfare and vandalism are the major issues for the success of the project. During the public events it became apparent that this is also a main concern for site users. There have been incidents with antisocial behaviour, illegal motorbikes and travellers occupying the site as well as attacks on badgers and foxes. 6. DCMP and OSD carry out a number of urban grazing with a dedicated team of volunteer stock checkers and have an officer on call for problems. 7. There is, however, a risk that the project may fail due to serious animal welfare issues. 8. The modified proposals include two options of indicative fence lines that combine nature conservation interests and use of the site for public amenity. The options are a smaller grazing area than initially proposed, or the possibility of compartmentalising a larger grazing area based on the preferred option of the previous proposals. Compartments would allow rotation of livestock between different areas reducing the areas occupied by livestock whilst maximising the overall grazed area. 9. The public engagement work and second phase public consultation involved the following: • Delivery of 4400 flyers in July 2011 to the roads adjacent to Roundshaw Downs • 4 events on site to engage with site users on different times of the day during the summer. Staff from LB Sutton and the Old Surrey Downs Project were present with the project’s outreach trailer and two Sussex cattle. • Posters on site. • Press releases in Sutton Guardian, Croydon Advertiser and on online pages. • The consultation questionnaire was available from 30 August to 3 October 2011 on Sutton’s consultation homepage, Sutton’s Biodiversity webpages and in Roundshaw library. • All site users who provided contact details during the first phase of the consultation and the public engagement events were invited directly to respond, including Community representatives on the Beddington and Wallington Local Committee, Parkrun and Model Airplane Society 10. 45 responses were received with 57% (26) in favour of the principle of grazing the Downs, 9% undecided (4) and 33% against the principle of grazing (15). 1 response was received without supplied contact and has not been counted. Most respondents (60%) live less than a mile from the site. 11. The main reasons given for visiting the Downs were dog walking (43%), nature (22%) and exercise (22%). 12. The issues raised in the consultation were the following: • Cattle safety 10 • Positive comments in support 9 • Damage to wildlife (inc. skylarks) 5 • Travellers interfering with cattle 5 • Opposition to fencing of the Downs 2 • Ragwort 2 3 Agenda Item 10 Page 14 • Waste of council funds 2 • Project is first step to develop the site 2 • Lack of food for cattle 1 • Opposed in principle 1 A detailed report on the responses is available from the biodiversity team. 13. The site users who responded in support of the grazing project mainly preferred the larger compartmentalised option (50%) or did not raise an opinion (38%). 14. Despite greater consultation and information effort the responses to the second phase consultation have been fewer than in the initial consultation. It is possible that the reduction in negative comments is the direct result of this additional public engagement. However, it appears that a full understanding of the purpose of the produced has not reached all residents. 15. In the initial consultation, 128 responses were received with 58% (75) in favour of the principle of grazing the Downs, 5% undecided (6) and 37% against the principle of grazing (47). 3. Financial Implications The London Borough of Sutton (LBS) and OSD have the agreement to claim, in arrears, up to £15,000 of Heritage Lottery Funding (HLF) to provide grazing at Roundshaw Downs. This funding will provide the infrastructure to establish the conservation grazing, as well as the consultation work through the Old Surrey Downs Project. LBS officer time spent on the consultation has been met from within existing budget estimates. HLF funding must be claimed by the end of the 2011 calendar year. If grazing does not proceed, these funds will be unclaimed from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Ongoing costs associated with site grazing are currently financed through the existing partnership funding with Downlands Countryside Management Project who will continue to provide conservation grazing after OSD project has finished at no additional cost to the Council. Current site management will be continued outside the proposed grazing area within the current site maintenance budget. It should be noted that LB Sutton is currently reviewing it spending over the next years. The DCMP is a partnership project between 6 local authorities. There is a risk that spending reviews within any of the partner organisations may require a review of this partnership and the delivery of conservation grazing.

  • What Type of Settlement Is Wallington? by Victoria Johnson, 7 Bronte
    Victoria Johnson What type of settlement is Wallington? By Victoria Johnson, 7 Bronte 2011 C o n t e n t s Aim 2 Introduction 2 History of Wallington 2 Changes 2 Transport 3 Schools 3 Open Spaces 3 Shops 3 Jobs 3 Health 3 Location of Wallington 4 Sketch Map of a Fraction of Wallington 5 Key 6 Method 7 Transect of Wallington High Street 8 + 9 Bar Chart of Shops 10 Hierarchy 11 Sketch Map of Sainsbury͛s 12 Analysis 13 Transect 13 Field Sketch 13 Population History 14 Population 14 Conclusion 14 Evaluations & Limitations 14 ~ 1 ~ Aim In this investigation we are going to find out what type of settlement Wallington is. A settlement is a place where people live. We need to find out whether Wallington is a hamlet, village, town or a city. My hypothesis is that Wallington is a town because a hamlet does not have a church and Wallington has many, a village does not have as many shops as Wallington.Wallington is not big enough to be a city as it must have a certain number of people and a cathedral, like London or Manchester. Introduction History of Wallington Source www.sutton.gov.uk (trusted source) The Doomsday Book in 1086 said Wallington had 11 plough teams, which was a lot for its size (822 acres). Also recorded in the Doomsday Book, but no one knows where they were located. However, the mill upstream of Wallington Bridge was used for making pape r in 1771. By the mid 19 th century, it had become a flour mill, but by the end of the century it had reverted back to a paper mill.
