Introduction This Scoping Report is an updated version of the Scoping Report that was consulted on in December 2013. It incorporates the representations received from Statutory Environmental Bodies in January 2014 and has also been updated to provide more recent baseline information as well as to take account of representations received to the February 2014 consultation. For the purposes of this SA Report, the Scoping Report no longer needs to be a freestanding document and it has therefore been reconfigured to remove those elements that are covered in the main SA Report (e.g. the framework of SA Objectives). 2. Stage A1: Identify and review other relevant policies, plans, programmes and sustainable development objectives. The SEA Directive requires a review of plans and programmes which are relevant to the Plan: ‘an outline of the contents, main objectives of the plan or programmes and relationship with other relevant plans and programmes’ (Annex 1(a)) The review has selectively considered guidance at international, national regional, county and local level policies. It has not attempted to provide a detailed review but rather has focussed on strategic environmental, social or economic policies and objectives relevant to the appraisal of the Plan and particular specific environmental protection objectives established at international and national levels. This satisfies the SEA directive which requires that reference must be made to environmental objectives. The exercise has helped to shape the objectives against which plan policies can be appraised, as well as identifying particular issues which need to be addressed in the Plan A full list of plans and programmes which were initially considered is at Appendix 1. Many of these plans exist in a hierarchy; from international and European plans, to national policies and regional guidance. This review has sought to avoid duplication by only reviewing the most up to date or relevant plan and to distil the environmental objectives that are most relevant to the Plan. The analysis of relevant plans is at Appendix 2. The key messages from the analysis are in Table 2-1. The policy framework is dynamic, and new plans may emerge during the Local Plan preparation process. Those that are relevant will be added to the list at Appendix 2 and any relevant message added to Table 2-1 and published as part of the SA. Table 2-1: Key Messages emerging from Stage A1 The need to ensure that average distances travelled and traffic congestion are not exacerbated by minerals and waste HGVs, and that these vehicles do not worsen air quality in identified AQMAs, or reduce quality of life for local residents. Avoid damage to, and where possible proactively contribute towards the protection and enhancement of international, national and locally designated conservation sites, including SACs, SSSIs, NNRs, Local Wildlife Sites as well as BAP Priority Species and Habitats and nationally and locally important geological features.

Photo 1(left): 1 June 2009. Port Meadow showing the flood-water retreating and mud flats exposed. Photo: Camilla Lambrick Photo 2 (right): 1 June 2009. Southern part of Port Meadow, a former Creeping Marshwort area, now drying mud. Graham Scholey of the Environment Agency and Rebecca Tibbetts of Natural England assess the situation. Photo: Camilla Lambrick Alas Fen Violet is still in trouble at Otmoor – perhaps not dry and warm early enough for this very early species. The Fen Violet exercised us most during 2009 by way of a meeting with specialists from Plantlife and Northern Ireland, in a nation-wide discussion of radical actions notably for introduction on RSPB land. True Fox-sedge looks to be well set-up for the future now that extensive introductions by BBOWT have proved successful. Other plants seem to get on well by themselves – Birthwort (see front cover picture and report on page 4) seems to be proliferating in the ditches of a medieval nunnery just north of Oxford city. Progress continues towards the Oxfordshire Rare Plants Register; photographs are being amassed, and thanks to Ellen Lee’s masterly command of the records we now have some 4000 new records beginning to take form as eye-catching maps.

  • (2008) Morphometric and Population Genetic Analyses
    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 157, 687–711. With 11 figures Morphometric and population genetic analyses elucidate the origin, evolutionary significance and conservation implications of Orchis ¥angusticruris (O. purpurea ¥ O. simia), a hybrid orchid new to Britain RICHARD M. BATEMAN*, RHIAN J. SMITH and MICHAEL F. FAY Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK Received 16 January 2008; accepted for publication 17 March 2008 We report the first confirmed occurrence in Britain of Orchis ¥ angusticruris Franch. ex Rouy, a hybrid between two closely related orchid species of anthropomorphic Orchis (O. purpurea Huds. ¥ O. simia Lam.) that hybridize frequently in Continental Europe. Seven individual hybrids, most likely F1 plants representing a single interspe- cific pollination event, first flowered with both parents in May 2006 at a nature reserve in the Chiltern Hills near Goring, Oxfordshire. Univariate and multivariate morphometric analyses (43 characters plus 12 indices), internal transcribed spacer sequencing, plastid microsatellites and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses together readily separate the parents and confirm that O. purpurea was the ovule parent and O. simia the pollen parent, presumably reflecting the greater frequency and/or later flowering period of the latter at the site. This study reinforces a more general observation that, in most orchids, the ovule parent contributes substantially more to the hybrid phenotype than does the pollen parent, perhaps reflecting cytoplasmic inheritance. In contrast, the hybrids are placed closer to O. simia than to O. purpurea in the AFLP tree. Apparently recent arrivals, the few O. purpurea plants at Goring contrast genetically with the two other small populations of this species known in the Chilterns, but rather are consistent with relatively uncommon Continental populations.

  • Lowland Calcareous Grassland
    CALCAREOUS GRASSLAND IN OXFORDSHIRE 1. INTRODUCTION Calcareous grasslands are developed on shallow lime-rich soils generally overlying limestone rocks, including chalk. They are now largely found on distinct topographic features such as escarpments or dry valley slopes and sometimes on ancient earthworks in landscapes strongly influenced by the underlying limestone geology. They are typically species-rich, agriculturally unimproved grasslands, managed as UK Biodiversity Action Plan - Priority components of pastoral or mixed farming systems, species associated with farmland supporting sheep, cattle or sometimes horses; a few examples are cut for hay. It is one of the UK’s most Grey partridge important wildlife habitats, supporting a wide range of Lapwing specialised plants and animals including many rare Skylark species. In Oxfordshire these grasslands support the bulk Stone curlew of the UK populations of meadow clary, Chiltern gentian Turtle dove and downy woundwort. Some species, such as the marsh Chalk carpet moth fritillary butterfly and dormouse, have very small Four spotted moth populations and are vulnerable to extinction in Square spotted clay moth Oxfordshire.
