To fulfil this remit a desk study and daytime scoping visit were carried out to assess the habitats on and around the site and their ability to support bats, amphibians, badgers, breeding birds and other protected species and to find out whether they were present. Westside Mill is south of Hulme End in North Staffordshire and adjacent to the River Manifold. It is also within the Peak District. The area is dominated by semi-upland farming, with numerous small settlements. Historically small scale mining and quarrying also occurred in the region. The landscape along the river valley is gently rolling, but steep hills dominate the skyline in most directions. Mature trees follow the river course along the dale and tributaries. Field boundaries show a range of fencing, dry stone walls or hedgerow and mature trees can be seen on many of the margins. The site is a small farm with several buildings loosely arranged around a farmhouse. The potential development centres on one building, a two-storey barn, east of the house, and fronting the road. No signs of bat use or activity were found on site. Several mature trees mark the site boundaries around the farm and these should be retained as potential bat roosts. There were no signs of bat use in any of the buildings. Several of the surveyed buildings showed bird droppings, and it appears that blackbirds and smaller Passerines, such as sparrows or wagtails, occasionally forage here. Robin, wren and swallow nests were found within the development barn, and further nests were found in Building 2 and the garage. No signs of badger, otter, water vole or dormouse were found during the survey. However, the river may be used by otters for navigation and foraging. Recommendations include retaining the extant hedgerow and trees along the boundaries and margins. It is also suggested that the barn is fitted with bat roost boxes as part of the development. AH PDF B-0305-9-R-091115 Report on an Ecology Survey at Westside Mill - 5 - On behalf of Fisher German Ltd 2 Introduction 2.1 Background 2.1.1 Blacktree Associates was contracted by Fisher German Ltd to carry out an ecology and protected species scoping survey on land at Westside Mill, near Hulme End, Staffordshire. 2.1.2 To fulfil this remit a desk study and daytime scoping visit were carried out on 22nd October 2009, to assess the buildings and surrounding habitats on site and their ability to support bats, badgers, breeding birds and other protected species and to find out whether they were present. 2.1.3 This report presents the findings of those surveys. 2.2 Site Description 2.2.1 Westside Mill is a small farm, situated south of the village of Hulme End in North Staffordshire. The village of Hulme End is in north Staffordshire, close to the Derbyshire border. It is approximately 10km east of Leek and Buxton is 13km to the north-east. The A515 (Buxton to Ashbourne road) is 5km to the east. There are a number of small villages and hamlets in this area of the Peak District, interconnected by a web of small roads. 2.2.2 The site has several buildings loosely arranged around a farmhouse. The potential development centres on one building, a two-storey barn, east of the farmhouse, and fronting the road. 2.2.3 The site is adjacent to the River Manifold and within 2km of the Dove. It is within the Peak District National Park area. The area is dominated by semi-upland farming, with numerous small settlements. Historically small scale mining and quarrying also occurred in the region. The landscape along the river valley is gently rolling, but steep hills dominate the skyline in most directions. Mature trees follow the river course along the dale and tributaries. Field boundaries show a range of fencing, dry stone walls or hedgerow and mature trees can be seen on many of the margins. 2.2.4 Westside Mill site lies within the South West Peak Natural Area. This is a Natural England designation of the natural landscape, ecology, history and human activity. A summary of the natural Area is as follows: The landscape of the South West Peak is characterised by Millstone Grits and Coal Measures formed during the Carboniferous period. Folding and faulting of the rock and erosion by water courses has produced a varied and dramatic landscape. The high altitude and heavy rainfall have created acidic soils dominated by moorland vegetation. In the north, large areas are covered by blanket peat deposits. Fast- AH PDF B-0305-9-R-091115 Report on an Ecology Survey at Westside Mill - 6 - On behalf of Fisher German Ltd flowing streams have cut deep valleys or 'cloughs' which widen out towards the gently undulating farmland of the Shropshire, Staffordshire and the Cheshire Plain. South West Peak is a mosaic of closely related landform and vegetation patterns. These include extensive tracts of wild, heather-dominated moorland and blanket bog with wooded cloughs. Around the small-scale enclosed farmsteads there are meadows, rushy pastures and more productive farmland. The area is important for moorland breeding birds including merlin, short-eared owl and curlew on heather moorland, golden plover on blanket bog and a range of ground-nesting waders on the associated in-bye pastures. 2.2.5 An annotated plan of Buildings 1 and 2 can be seen in Figure 1. 2.3 Proposed works 2.3.1 The proposed development is to convert Building 1. 2.4 Aims of study 2.4.1 The aims of this study are to identify habitats in and around the buildings and to investigate the site and surroundings for potential protected and priority species. If such potential exists it is also the aim of the scoping survey to identify the extent of use, specifically where any resting sites, roosts, burrows or setts occur. 2.4.2 It is also an aim of this report to identify which areas of the site, if any, are utilised by nesting birds. 2.4.3 The objectives of this report therefore, are to: Document the methodologies and findings of the surveys Evaluate the habitats on site Evaluate the site for protected species Detail all use of the site, observed and inferred, by protected species Make summary recommendations for further survey and/or mitigation if considered necessary AH PDF B-0305-9-R-091115 Report on an Ecology Survey at Westside Mill - 7 - On behalf of Fisher German Ltd 3 Methodology 3.1 Desk Study 3.1.1 An ordnance survey map of the area was assessed to assist in drawing conclusions on the habitat within 1km of the site. This was to help provide guidance as to the potential presence of protected species (e.g. habitats such as woodland that may provide feeding for bats). 3.1.2 Records of protected species were searched for using NBN gateway (www.searchnbn.net), a website hosting records of species donated by ecological records centres and wildlife organisations from throughout the UK. Results are shown over a 10km radius but only records for Annex 2 species1 and otters (due to their often large territories) covering this area are necessary, for other protected species, including water voles and the majority of bat species, only those records within 2km of the development site are of relevance. 3.1.3 Protected sites, important wildlife areas and areas of ancient semi-natural woodland within a 2km radius were searched for using the mapping sites natureonthemap.org.uk and magic.gov.uk.

  • Advisory Visit River Manifold, Staffordshire 25Th March, 2019
    Advisory Visit River Manifold, Staffordshire 25th March, 2019 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust (WTT) to the River Manifold near Longnor, Staffordshire, on 25th March, 2018. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with members of Derbyshire County Angling Club (DCAC). This section of the River Manifold has been the subject of a previous WTT Advisory Visit (2007) and practical habitat improvement works by WTT and Trent Rivers Trust around 2008 – 2010. The habitat works were the subject of a scientific study of invertebrate populations (Everall et al., 2012). In 2011, a study was carried out by Loughborough University on behalf of Natural England, looking at the physical characteristics of rivers in the Upper Dove catchment, including the River Manifold (Rice & Toone, 2011). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The Manifold is a tributary of the River Dove, rising at Flash Head and joining the Dove at Ilam. The upper reaches flow over geology dominated by sandstones and undifferentiated silt/mudstones, predominantly of the Millstone Grit series and Bowland Formation; these rocks weather easily producing finer clastic sediments (cobbles, gravels, sand). Further downstream below Ecton, the geology is predominantly limestone, which is more resistant but soluble, producing classic karst features including subterranean drainage and dry valleys; this results in the river between Wetton Mill and Ilam being seasonally dry (Rice & Toone, 2011).

  • Local Environment Agency Pi
    local environment agency pi DOVE ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW AUGUST 1999 Ashbourne Dove LEAP Foreword I am delighted to introduce the Consultation Draft for the Dove Local Environment Agency Plan. This is the third LEAP to be produced in the Upper Trent Area of the Midlands Region and looks at environmental issues within the River Dove catchment. The Agency in consultation with key organisations has identified a number of environmental issues relevant to this area. We need to confirm that we have addressed all current issues and the options to resolve them, taking into account the often conflicting demands on the environment by its users. The LEAP process will provide a vision for the environmental needs of the River Dove area. It will provide a framework within which we can seek to develop new partnerships with organisations and bodies with whom we wish to share a common approach on environmental , issues. This report is published as part of our commitment to being open and consulting with others about our work. This will be part of a major consultation exercise and marks the start of a three month period of consultation. Following the consultation period the Agency will produce a five year action plan which will set out a costed programme of work by the Agency and other organisations. Annual reviews over the five year period will report on significant achievements and progress being made on the issues. Your views are extremely important. Only by letting us know your opinions will we be able to make a real difference to your local environment.
