As such a Protected Species Survey was commissioned to establish features with potential to support bats and other protected species and to determine past and present use of the building by bats and nesting birds The site has been assessed as having a high value to bats, as bats were observed and recorded commuting and foraging around the buildings. However no bats were observed emerging from the buildings during the survey. As such, at this present time the proposed works are presently classed as having no impact on the favourable conservation status (FCS) of bats within the immediate area Due to the roofing features of these buildings being either totally or partially absent, reducing their potential to support roosting bats and there was no evidence to suggest that bats have been using these buildings, it is estimated that no further survey is necessary There were no other protected species, either internally or externally, which would be impacted by the development As there is no proposal to remove any trees or hedgerows the proposed works will have no impact on the continued ecological functioning (CEF) of the habitat on the site concerned 2.0 INTRODUCTION A Protected Species Survey was commissioned by Mr Dafydd Edwards on behalf of Mrs Ann Parry on the property known as ‘Gors Twr’, Llaingoch, Holyhead, Anglesey. It is understood that the client proposes to convert the old cottage and adjoining outbuilding into a holiday let. The survey was carried out by ecological consultant Bev Plummer on 30th August 2018 in accordance with Bat Conservation Trust’s ‘Bat Surveys Good Practice Guidelines’, English Nature’s ‘Bat Mitigation Guidelines’ and the Chartered Institute of Ecology & Environmental Management (CIEEM) ‘Codes of Professional Conduct’. Gors Twr is a derelict cottage with adjoining outbuilding located at approximately SH22838226 and sitting at the base of Holyhead Mountain, west of Holyhead town and port (Figure 1). 3 Gors Twr, Llaingoch September, 2018 Figure 1 Aerial map of property location (red circle) 2.1 Surveyor Details Bev Plummer (surveyor 1) is an NRW licenced bat worker (licence no. 78879:OTH:CSAB:2018) with 6 years of experience in Ecology and Conservation. Ian Plummer (surveyor 2) is an assistant surveyor with 3 years of experience in emergence surveys. 2.2 Purpose of Survey The purpose of this survey was to establish whether any protected species may be impacted by the proposed works. With this in mind the objectives were to: Establish features on the site with potential to support bats and other protected species Look for and identify any past or present physical signs of bats and/or nesting birds using the buildings Identify presence/absence of protected species Provide advice and recommendations including, if applicable, any required reasonable avoidance measures (RAM) or mitigation 4 Gors Twr, Llaingoch September, 2018 2.3 Proposed Works It is understood that the client proposes to convert the existing derelict cottage and adjoining outbuilding into a holiday let. Figure 2 Proposed site plan (A – existing outbuilding, B – existing derelict cottage) Figure 3 Proposed floor plan 5 Gors Twr, Llaingoch September, 2018 2.4 Legislation and Policy Guidance Summary Bats All 17 UK bat species are afforded protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), the Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000 and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, under which (and along with European Legislation) it is an offence to: Intentionally kill, injure or capture a bat or a group of bats Destroy, damage or obstruct access to a known bat roosting or resting place, whether or not bats are present at the time of the incident Intentionally disturb a bat while it is occupying/using any place or structure for shelter and protection, as this can significantly affect its: ability to survive, breed and nurture young; abundance and local distribution Certain bat species are also afforded additional levels of conservation importance. Some species are included on the IUCN Red Data list of global Threatened Species while others are included in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, which aims to identify species of international (European) importance affected by rapid decline and risk. Protected Species Guidance A Protected Species Survey is required prior to any works being undertaken where there is a risk of any protected species being present and impacted by the works whether or not planning permission is required. Where bats are found within a potential development site and any works might result in committing an offence, a European Protected Species Licence (EPSL) may be requested from Natural Resources Wales (NRW). This would be obtained only if NRW are satisfied that there is no other alternative to the derogation and that works will have no negative impact on the favourable conservation status of the species concerned. The said licence application would require a method statement detailing all mitigation and compensation measures that would be taken, to afford bats alternative roosting/resting opportunities. Due to the seasonal nature of bat activity and survey work, plenty of time must be allowed before commencement of any proposed works, to allow for survey work and the possibility of requiring an EPSL, which can take up to 40 days to apply for. Where planning permission is being pursued, the presence of a species which is protected under European or UK law is a material consideration in a planning authorities’ decision, if the proposed development works are likely to impact on that species. 6 Gors Twr, Llaingoch September, 2018 Nesting birds Breeding/Nesting Birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). It is an offence to: Intentionally kill, injure or capture any wild bird Destroy, damage or take any wild bird’s eggs or nests (while in use or being built) Bats and nesting birds are also protected by: Environment (Wales) Act 2016 This Act sets out Wales' approach to planning and managing natural resources at a national and local level with a general purpose linked to statutory 'principles of sustainable management of natural resources' defined within the Act. The Environment (Wales) Act introduces a new, enhanced Biodiversity and Resilience of Ecosystem Duty on public bodies to ensure that biodiversity is an integral part of decision- making. The Duty will replace the existing Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006 Duty. Public authorities will be required to report on the actions they are taking to improve biodiversity and promote ecosystem resilience. Section 6 of the Act places a duty on public authorities to seek to maintain and enhance biological diversity (referred to as biodiversity). All public bodies, statutory undertakers, Ministers of the Crown and other public office holders are required to apply the duty when they are carrying on any functions in Wales, or in relation to Wales. Section 7 of the Act is similar to the duty in section 42 of the NERC Act 2006 which it replaces. It places a duty on the Welsh Ministers to publish, review and revise lists of living organisms and types of habitat in Wales, which they consider are of key significance to sustain and improve biodiversity in relation to Wales. Biodiversity Policy Wales Biodiversity Partnership (WBP) has produced biodiversity checklists for local authority and public authority staff in Wales. The checklists will assist public and local authorities to take account of biodiversity in their operational activities and will help organisations to remain legal under the Environment (Wales) Act (2016) Biodiversity Duty, Habitats Regulations and other biodiversity related legislation. In addition, the implementation of the checklists and guidance will help build towards the biodiversity outcomes contained in the Environment Strategy for Wales. 7 Gors Twr, Llaingoch September, 2018 3.0 SITE AND PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The derelict property sits within a rural location, W of Holyhead town and port. The surrounding landscape (Figure 4) landscape consists of some pasture, heathland and rocky outcrops (particularly closer to Holyhead Mountain and the RSPB nature reserve). The immediate habitat provides some linear features in the form of hedgerows and trees which potentially provide connectivity for commuting and foraging bats. Figure 4 Aerial view of immediate surrounding habitat with property circled in red The nominated property is an adjoining derelict cottage and outbuilding facing E. Both sections are constructed of stone. The old cottage at the S end has virtually no remaining roof features (apart from a few slates at either end) and crumbling walls (Figure 5). It has many gaps in the remaining stone work and the interior is overgrown with vegetation (Figure 6).

  • Community Infrastructure 13
    Background Paper 13: Community Infrastructure 13 February Gwynedd & Môn Joint Local Development Plan 2015 [Type text] Topic Paper 13: Infrastructure Background This is one of a range of topic papers prepared to offer more detailed information and explain the approach of the Plan to different topics and issues affecting the Joint Local Development Plan Area. This paper will look specifically at community infrastructure. It will explain the background which will help to identify the issues, objectives and options for the Deposit Plan. The Deposit Plan is the second statutory stage in the preparation of the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP). The JLDP shapes the future growth of communities in the Joint Local Development Plan Area and will set out the policies and land allocations against which planning applications will be assessed. The Deposit Plan will be submitted to the Welsh Government, which will appoint an independent inspector to assess the soundness of the Plan in the Examination in Public. If the inspector considers the Plan to be sound it will be recommended for adoption. When adopted the JLDP will supersede the Gwynedd Unitary Development Plan (2009) for the Gwynedd Local Planning Authority Area and the Gwynedd Structure Plan (1993) and Ynys Môn Local Plan (1996) for the Ynys Môn Local Planning Authority. This topic paper can be read in isolation or in conjunction with the other Topic Papers and Background Papers that have been prepared to give a full picture the Joint Local Development Plan Area. You may refer to the Topic Paper as a basis for making comments about the Deposit Plan.

  • Supplementary Planning Guidance for Wylfa Newydd PDF 5 MB
    ISLE OF ANGLESEY COUNTY COUNCIL Report to: The County Council Date: 15th May 2018 Subject: Wylfa Newydd Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) Portfolio Holder(s): Cllr. Richard Dew Cllr. Carwyn Jones Report Author: Dylan J. Williams Head of Regulatory & Economic Development Service Tel: (01248) 752499 E-mail: [email protected] Local Members: All Elected Members A – Recommendation/s and reason/s Recommendation(s) That the County Council: i. Adopt the revised (Anglesey specific) Wylfa Newydd Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) and all Topic Papers & Statutory Assessments. Introduction The New Nuclear Build at Wylfa: Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) was produced and adopted by the Isle of Anglesey County Council (the IACC) in July 2014 (Link). Supplementary Planning Guidance is a means of setting out detailed thematic or site specific guidance on the way in which national and local policies will be applied in particular circumstances or areas. As the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP) was yet to be adopted, the SPG was produced to fill this policy gap. This enabled the IACC to influence and inform Horizon Nuclear Power’s (Horizon) strategic decision making, it provided the basis for the County Council’s response to Horizon’s statutory consultations (PAC1, 2 and 3) and also provided a sound and robust policy framework for the IACC to make decisions in relation to any planning applications (as well as the DCO itself). However, since the SPG was adopted in 2014, there have been a number of fundamental changes which has necessitated the need to review and update this SPG. 1. Policy Changes – The JLDP was formally adopted by the IACC on the 31st July 2017 (Link).

  • Site Deliverability Report July 2016
    July 2016 Site Deliverability Report Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This paper has been prepared in response to questions raised regarding the deliverability of sites allocated for development within the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP) on viability grounds due to the requirements for infrastructure, facilities and services to support the level of growth proposed in the JLDP, and the implications that this could have on the delivery of the Plan. 2.0 Infrastructure Requirements 2.1 Planning Policy Wales (Edition 8, January 2016) states that, “The capacity of existing infrastructure, and the need for additional facilities, should be taken into account in the preparation of development plans and the consideration of planning applications. In general, local planning authorities should seek to maximise the use of existing infrastructure and should consider how the provision of different types of infrastructure can be co-ordinated.” (para 12.1.6). 2.2 In preparing the Deposit JLDP the Councils have sought to identify existing infrastructure capacity and future infrastructure requirements associated with planned housing and employment growth required to support the delivery of the JLDP. This is identified in the Plan’s evidence base through the topic and background papers which cover a range of issues such as community infrastructure topic paper 13, PT.024), transport (topic paper 15, PT.026), open space assessment (topic paper 14, PT.025), candidate site assessment (topic papers 1 & 1A, PT.001 & PT.002), settlement profiles (topic paper 19, PT.019) and flood consequences assessment (topic paper 8, PT.015). 2.3 This paper aims to summarise the key infrastructure requirements already referred to within the background documents and, where possible, identifies the organisations responsible for providing the infrastructure and the means (financial or otherwise), by which the infrastructure will be provided.

  • Low Carbon Networks Fund Full Submission Pro-Forma Section 1: Project Summary
    Project Code/Version No: SPT2005 v2 Low Carbon Networks Fund Full Submission Pro-forma Section 1: Project Summary 1.1 Project Title: Anglesey Community Energy 1.2 Funding DNO: Scottish Power Manweb 1.3 Project Summary: Previous LCNF and EU funded projects have shown that a lack of consumer engagement can significantly undermine the achievement of low carbon goals, particularly with Demand Side Response (DSR) services. Evidence, developed through Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN) own Ashton Hayes LCNF Tier 1 project, suggests that a community led initiative displays a higher degree of individual engagement. The proposed project capitalises on this point, but will reverse the premise of customer engagement seen in previous projects i.e. rather than a DNO asking "if we take these actions, how will you react?" encourage the consumer to ask "I want to achieve these outcomes, how can you facilitate this?". Traditionally only Supplier price incentives have been used as a DSR trigger to manage both generation availability and network constraints. This is often in conflict with the actual situation. For example, if cheap wind energy triggers a consumer signal to effectively use as much electricity as they can, the cluster in a street will have excessive demand on their feeder causing a localised network constraint. This project will demonstrate a solution to allow the Supplier to continue to act independently whilst providing a local community response to the constraints this will induce. The community will have the ability to decide how they prioritise their own requirements to meet these challenges. The project will focus on the community in Anglesey, North Wales which has a diversity of social groups, high fuel poverty but also a variety of low carbon generation and increasing load.

  • CLIENT BASED APPROACH CASE STUDY Name of Client: Anglesey County Council
    CLIENT BASED APPROACH CASE STUDY Name of Client: Anglesey County Council Title of Case Study: Ysgol Cybi, Holyhead - STEM Interactions (Pupil Engagement) The Challenge: Anglesey County Council are committed to the delivery of pupil engagement during the construction phase of new schools under the 21st Century School programme and in particular a focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) subjects and curriculum. The new Ysgol Cybi building replaced three existing schools in Holyhead – Ysgol Llaingoch, Ysgol Y Parc and Ysgol Parchedig Thomas Elis, creating a “super school” with over 500 pupils. The 21st Century Schools community benefits target includes the number of Pupil interactions per £m invested with a Benchmark Value of 150 per £m. For the Ysgol Cybi project, this target was 1,350 Pupil Interactions. Equally, the National Skills Academy for Construction target for Construction Curriculum Support Activities was 7 activities in total. The Response: Our main contractor for the scheme, Wynne Construction, worked closely with the three existing primary schools plus Holyhead High School to deliver a range of workshops covering health & safety, construction processes and “Numeracy in the Workplace”. The numeracy workshops were aimed at Year 6 pupils who were transitioning to Holyhead High School and were organised in conjunction with the mathematics department who wanted to highlight the importance of basic maths and how this is used in the workplace. The schools which took part were: Ysgol Rhosneigr, St Mary’s School, Ysgol Llaingoch, Ysgol Rhoscolyn, Ysgol Parch Thomas Ellis, Ysgol y Fali, Ysgol y Tywyn and Ysgol Y Parc. V1 Apr 14 KB Other workshops included a health & safety presentation highlighting the dangers of sites in order to educate the children who lived locally, and these were followed up with site visits once the school was nearly completed, with an introduction to the types of trades that were used in the building process.
