  • Jealott's Hill, Warfield Technical Summary

    Jealott's Hill, Warfield Technical Summary

    JEALOTT’S HILL, WARFIELD TECHNICAL SUMMARY/OVERVIEW NOTE ON ECOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES Executive Summary Development at the Jealott’s Hill site offers the opportunity to create extensive areas of new species and wildflower-rich mesotrophic grassland, through the reversion of arable land and through the diversification of existing improved grassland currently in agricultural use. Small patches of existing more diverse semi-improved grassland around the current research campus buildings could also form the basis of a significant project to create or restore new areas of ‘lowland meadow’ priority habitat; either through their retention and positive management in situ to promote enhancement, or through the use of the soil seed bank in these areas to diversify larger parts of the rural hinterland of the estate currently in agricultural use. Existing species-rich hedgerows can also be subject to positive future management using traditional conservation-friendly methods such as laying, with older hedgerows prioritised for retention within the layout, and new species-rich native hedgerows planted in conjunction with the proposals. Existing ponds can be subject to ecological restoration to improve their suitability for a range of species including aquatic invertebrates, amphibians, foraging bats and hunting Grass Snake. The habitats present both on site and in the wider area are likely to support a range of fauna of varying ecological importance including; amphibians, reptiles, breeding and overwintering birds (particularly farmland birds), mammals such as bats and Badgers, and invertebrate assemblages. The scale of the proposals and large areas of proposed Green Infrastructure being brought forward will provide the means to deliver new habitat for these species and this will be informed by further ecological survey work in due course.

    Nuptown Character Area Nuptown Is a Small Scattered Hamlet on The

    Nuptown Character area Nuptown is a small scattered hamlet on the northern boundary of Warfield parish. It is defined as the area bordered by Bishops, Hawthorn, Nuptown and Cocks Lanes, which contains a mixture of ancient woodland, meadowland and arable fields. The area is designated Green Belt and mostly lies within the jurisdiction of Warfield Parish Council and Bracknell Forest Borough Council. Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council administer the eastern part of the area. Nuptown is characterised by open fields, leafy lanes and woodland dominated by deciduous trees of which the Oak, Ash, Hazel, Prunus, wild service trees (nationally rare) wild pear and crabapple, abound. The woodland area contains many wild flowers, and the bluebell wood straddling Ashmore Lane is a significant feature. The land is heavy of clay and surface drainage is maintained by a network of drainage ditches that take the water into Chawbridge Bourne and via The Cut, eventually into the Thames at Bray. The land is mildly undulating rising 50 feet to the north at Cruch Lane. The rural features are conductive to walking and riding, and there are a network of footpaths and bridleways that are well used by visitors to the area. The characteristics of Nuptown, its designation as Green Belt and its location at the northern perimeter of Bracknell Forest Borough Council make it the ideal area to provide the “Countryside Experience” to the benefit of all and particularly those living in the nearby urban areas. i. The varied wildlife. A wide spectrum of bird life exists in Nuptown from Barn Owls to Herons, Birds of Prey and Nightingales.

For ‘how to use this report’, the planning context and the survey methodology, please refer to Sections 1-3 in the main report. This report sets out the findings of Phase 1 ecological surveys for a further five SHELAA sites (BIN16, BIN17, BIN18, BIN19 and WAR25). 1.1.2 The information can be used to guide development to the most suitable sites, and within sites, to the most suitable parts of the site but these surveys were carried out during late summer in dry conditions only; the actual survey date for each site is recorded in Figure 1. Surveys are subject to seasonal and access constraints and represent a snapshot of the sites at the time of the survey, because the ecology of a site will change over time and as a result in changes in land management.

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is legally obliged to make sure that no adverse effect on the integrity of the SPA will arise from new development. As a result, the SPA Technical Background Document to the Core Strategy (hereafter referred to as SPA TBD) was produced, which identifies measures to avoid and mitigate adverse effects arising from proposed new residential development. The SPA TBD provides an integrated, holistic package of measures which includes both on-site and off-site measures to protect the SPA in addition to making other areas of open space more attractive. A summary of the avoidance and mitigation measures, which will ensure that there will be no adverse effect upon the integrity of the SPA, can be found in section 28 of the Technical Background Document (June 2007). These comprise: Bespoke solutions for strategic sites Enhancements to existing open space Visitor access management on the SPA Restrictions on development within 400m Education No net loss of supporting habitats Restrictions on pet ownership where appropriate.
