1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Terms of Instruction 1.1.1 This report has been commissioned by Rowan Parnell of Architecture Initiative Ltd. It provides an ecological assessment of the proposed redevelopment of land at Bridgewater School in Northampton. 1.2 Report Limitations 1.2.1 This is an ecological report and as such no reliance should be given to comments relating to buildings, engineering, soils or other unrelated matters. 1.3 Documents Provided 1.3.1 As background information the following documentation was provided: Proposed Site Plan – Proposed Site Plan, Bridgewater Primary School, January 2013, Ref: BR-04. 1.4 Qualifications 1.4.1 The authors of this report are detailed below: James Whiteford BSc (Hons) MIEEM MSB - Primary Author/Primary Surveyor Katherine Breslin BSc (Hons) - Secondary Author/Secondary Surveyor John Lockhart FRICS CEnv - Project Director Marie Allcoat - Project Administrator 1.5 The Site 1.5.1 The assessment covered the whole of the site. A site location plan is located in Appendix I. 1.5.2 At the time of the assessment the site mostly comprised of amenity grassland, buildings and hard standing. 1.5.3 The majority of the surrounding landscape was recorded as being residential housing interspersed with areas of open green space. Allotments were recorded adjacent to the eastern boundary of the site. Directly to the north of the site was an area of derelict land. This area was covered in rank grassland with small areas of scattered scrub. 2. APPROACH 2.1.1 To assess the ecological issues associated with the site and to inform any further assessments the following tasks were undertaken: A Desk Study An Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey

3. METHODOLOGY 3.1 Desk Study 3.1.1 The purpose of the desk study was to collect baseline data held by statutory and non-statutory consultees and to obtain any views they may have about the proposals. A secondary purpose of the desk study was to collect records of species that may not be present at the time of survey and identify any protected species or habitats which may potentially be affected by the proposals. 3.1.2 Information was requested for the site as well as a 2km radius around the site in line with the IEEM Guidelines for Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (2012). This information was gathered from the following organisations (with the full information presented in Appendix II): Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre (NBRC) 3.2 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey 3.2.1 The aim of the Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey was to provide information to establish the ecological value of the site and to determine any further assessments. 3.2.2 During the Phase 1 Habitat Survey the dominant plant species present were recorded and the habitats classified according to their vegetation types. 3.2.3 This information is presented in accordance with the standard Phase 1 Habitat Survey format with habitat descriptions and a habitat map (Joint Nature Conservation Committee, 2010), presented in Appendix III. In addition Target Notes providing supplementary information, for example relating to species, composition, structure and management are also presented on the Habitat map. 3.2.4 In addition invasive weeds were also searched for during the Phase 1 Habitat Survey 3.2.5 This assessment has followed the current baseline ecological survey guidance as set out in the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management’s Guidelines for Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (2012). 3.3 Habitat Assessment Evaluation Criteria 3.3.1 A five point evaluation scale has been applied to assist with the identification of key features of ecological significance in relation to the proposed development, following guidance outlined in IEEM (2006) guidelines. This is an arbitrary scale which experience has shown is effective at this level of assessment.
3.3.2 The five point scale is outlined below:
low value; intermediate value; high value (Local/District importance e.g. Local Wildlife Site); very high value (County importance e.g. Local Nature Reserve); and exceptional value (National importance e.g. Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)).

descriptions below should be read in conjunction with this plan, associated target notes and the photo record at Appendix IV. Amenity grassland 4.3.3 The majority of the site is intensively managed amenity grassland. The grassland is recently sown and is dominated by perennial rye grass Lolium perenne, daisy Bellis perennis, white clover Trifolium repens and creeping bent Agrostis stolonifera. No species of conservation importance were recorded in association with this habitat. Habitat value: Low Buildings 4.3.4 The majority of buildings on site are relatively new with the main school (see building 1 on Appendix III) being completed only 5 years previously. The buildings included the main school, a flat roofed one to two storey build, wooden sheds and several small flat roofed structures. Habitat value: Low Fence 4.3.5 The site is surrounded by a 2m high metal fence which connects within the main building at two points. 4.3.6 Habitat value: Low-negligible Hardstanding 4.3.7 There are large sections of well-maintained hard standing surrounding the main building which is used as a car park and as play areas for the school. Habitat value: Low Intact hedge 4.3.8 There were five sections of intact hedgerow across the site. The majority of the hedges were found in association with the fences around the perimeter of the site. 4.3.9 Hedge 1 was very immature, recently planted and had grown to a height of approximately 1.5m with two scattered trees of Norway maple Acer platanoides. The hedgerow species comprised of hawthorn Crateagus monogryna, hazel Corylus avellana, cotoneaster, hornbeam Carpinus betulus and buckthorn Rhamnus sp.. 4.3.10 Hedge 2 and 3 were found to be of a very similar composition incorporating a limited assortment of non-native and native woody species. Some species including elder Sambucus nigra and Leylandii were found to be encroaching onto site from the adjoining gardens. There were also formally planted sections of hedgerow supporting hornbeam, cotoneaster and hazel. 4.3.11 Hedge 4 was low (1.5m) and native in composition. This hedge was located along the east of the site. The hedge was made up of honeysuckle Lonicera periclymenum, hawthorn, hornbeam, hazel and buckhorn with the hedge running into hedge 5. Hedge 5 appeared to have been very recently planted and had the same composition as Hedge 4.

Habitat value: Low-intermediate Introduced shrub 4.3.12 Several small sections of introduced shrub were located across the site. A small selection of native and non-native herbaceous and shrub species were noted growing in this area. Species included cotoneaster, dogwood Cornus sp., dog rose Rosa canina and wood sage Teucrium sp. Habitat value: Low Semi-improved neutral grassland 4.3.13 There are two sections of semi-improved grassland towards the north of the site. 4.3.14 The first section of semi-improved grassland forms a 5m buffer around the standing water on site. It has tall rank sward with clumps of rush close to the waters edge. 4.3.15 Main grass species included false oat grass Arrhenatherum elatius, Yorkshire fog Holcus lanatus, Timothy grass Phleum pratense and creeping bent. A small selection of common plant species resistant to occasional inundation including willowherb Epilobium sp., broad leaved dock Rumex obtusifolius, teasel Dispacus fullonum and pendulous sedge Carex pendula were recorded growing in this area. 4.3.16 The second section of semi-improved grassland is located along the northern boundary of the site. Several species of bent grass, Yorkshire fog, false oat grass, fescue Festuca rubra, Bristly oxtoungue Picris echoides, dandelion Taraxacum agg., nipplewort Lapsana communis , ribwort plantain Plantago lanceolata and common ragwort Senecio vulgare were recorded within this area. 4.3.17 No plant species of conservation concern were recorded growing within this habitat. Habitat value: Intermediate Scattered trees 4.3.18 There are numerous scattered trees on site, ranging from immature to mature specimens. Species included Norway maple, poplar Populus sp., horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum and Mimosa sp. Habitat value: Intermediate Standing water 4.3.19 An attenuation pond is located to the north of the main school building. It is understood that the pond had been deepened and lined with an artificial lining in recent years. 4.3.20 The pond was found to support a good range of native submerged and emergent species including water soldier Stratiotes aloides, water mint Mentha aquatica, willowherb, creeping bent, spike rush Eleocharis palustris , water plantain and bulrush Typha sp. Habitat value: Intermediate-High 4.4 Protected Species and Other Faunal Interest Amphibians

4.4.1 During the Phase 1 survey any suitable refuga within the study area was searched beneath. The searches within the semi-improved neutral grassland surrounding the pond located 2 common toads, over 10 common frogs Rana temporaria and 1 adult smooth newt Triturus vulgare. 4.4.2 The waterbody on site was considered to provide suitable foraging and breeding conditions for a range of amphibian species. 4.4.3 The suitability of the water body for great crested newts was assessed using the habitat suitability index (HSI)3. The pond was found to have a HSI score of 0.70, which classified the pond as being of good suitability for great crested newts (see Pond 1 on Appendix IV). 4.4.4 The other 2 waterbodies within 500m of the site were also scored using the HSI method. Both waterbodies had an average suitability score (see Pond 2 and 3 on Appendix IV). 4.4.5 The semi-improved neutral grassland surrounding the waterbody and the other section of semi-improved neutral grassland on site was deemed to offer some potential terrestrial habitat for great crested newts. 4.4.6 The close mown amenity grassland was considered not to be suitable terrestrial habitat for great crested newts, although this species may pass over this habitat while accessing the adjoining areas of semi-improved grassland to the north. May 2013 Update 4.4.7 A presence/likely absence survey following Natural England guidance was completed on the pond within the site boundary and on other suitable waterbodies within 500m of the site. 4.4.8 The full results of this assessment are presented as a standalone report presented in Appendix V. 4.4.9 As part of this assessment no evidence of great crested newts were found. The pond within the school was found to support a medium population of smooth newts, common frogs, and a single common toad. Badgers 4.4.10 No evidence of badger activity, e.g. latrines, snuffle holes or active setts was identified within the study area, or within the surrounding areas. 4.4.11 The majority of the site was considered unlikely to provide foraging opportunities for badger, the hedgerows and semi-improved grassland could potentially offer some commuting and foraging grounds for badger. Bats 4.4.12 No evidence of bat usage (e.g. actual bats, droppings or staining) was found as part of the assessment. Trees

4.4.13 All the trees on site were found to have low or negligible bat roosting potential except one. 4.4.14 The tree with bat roosting potential was located in the south-east corner of the site (see Tree 1 on Appendix III). The tree, Mimosa sp. was generally in good condition but had several features which could potentially offer bat roosting habitat. These features included a small cavity on the west face, a crack on the south face of the tree and several woodpecker feeding holes. The tree was classified as having moderate bat roosting potential. Buildings 4.4.15 All the buildings on site were considered to be of low or negligible bat roosting potential. All the buildings were relatively modern, in good condition and appeared to offer very few potential bat access points, or roosting sites. Birds 4.4.16 During the site survey eight species of bird were recorded with six of these being located on site. Of these eight, three are listed as amber and one is listed as red on the BoCC List4. 4.4.17 The scattered trees, introduced shrubs and hedgerows on site were considered likely to provide suitable breeding opportunities for birds. 4.4.18 These habitats combined with the areas of amenity and semi-improved grassland are considered likely to provide foraging opportunities for a range of common peri- urban bird species (e.g. blackbird Turdus merula, green woodpecker). Reptiles 4.4.19 No evidence of this species was encountered as part of the assessment. 4.4.20 The survey identified only small areas of suitable habitat for reptiles Picus viridis onsite. These areas consisted of the areas of semi-improved grassland around the pond and near the boundary to the north. A large area of suitable reptile habitat is located to the north of the study area on a former school site. It is considered possible that any reptiles present in the former school site could disperse in to the suitable habitats within the study area. Water vole and otter 4.4.21 No evidence of water vole or otter were encountered as part of the assessment, and no habitat suitable for these species was found. Other mammals (e.g. fox, rabbit and hedgehog) 4.4.22 The survey identified evidence of fox utilising the site for foraging and commuting purposes. 4.4.23 Fox trails were found along the eastern and northern boundaries of the study area, with holes in the fence noted along the boundary to the north and south (see Target

5. RELEVANT LEGISLATION 5.1.1 Based on actual sightings, signs of and the presence of potentially suitable habitats for protected species noted during the survey, the following legislation may apply to the development aspirations for the site. Bats 5.1.2 All species of bats are protected by Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010. According to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is an offence to; o Intentionally kill, injure or take any species of wild bat o Have in one’s possession or control any live or dead species of wild bat 5.1.3 Additionally the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 states that it is illegal to intentionally disturb any species of bats and to damage or destroy a place of breeding or resting. Breeding Birds 5.1.4 The Primary legislation affecting wild birds in England, Scotland and Wales is the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). In January 2001 the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW) included amendments, which strengthened the law in England and Wales. 5.1.5 All birds, their nests and eggs, are protected by law and it is therefore an offence, with certain exemptions, to; Intentionally kill, injure or take any wild bird Intentionally take, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird whilst in use or being built Intentionally take or destroy the egg of any wild bird Have in one’s possession or control an egg or part of an egg which has been taken in contravention of the Act 5.1.6 In addition to the general protection afforded to birds, some rare breeding birds are further protected by special penalties. These birds are listed in Schedule 1 of the Act and are usually referred to generically as Schedule 1 species. 5.1.7 It is an offence to; Intentionally (or recklessly (CRoW Act 2000)) disturb any Schedule 1 species while it is nest building or is at, or near, a nest with eggs or young; or To intentionally disturb the dependent young of such a bird. Great Crested Newts 5.1.8 The legislation relating to the protection of great crested newts in Britain is contained within the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Species and Habitats Regulations which came in to the force of the 1st of April 2010. 5.1.9 Under the legislation it is illegal to deliberately kill, injure, capture or disturb GCN or to obstruct their access to areas where they live and breed. These areas are also
13 LOCKHART GARRATT LTD Trees, Woodland, Forestry
12-2499 3614 D02 R Phase 1 Habtiat Report Rev 2 May 2013
protected against damage or destruction. The law applies to all life stages of the species. 6. EVALUATION 6.1 Local Context 6.1.1 At the time of the assessment the site was set within an urban environment surrounded by residential housing and public open space, with allotments to the east of the site. 6.2 Habitats 6.2.1 Habitats within local area identified as being of high ecological importance included sections of running and standing water, species rich grassland and larger areas of open water associated with the River Nene. 6.2.2 The majority of the habitat within the site boundary is considered to be of low ecological value. 6.2.3 Habitats considered to be of intermediate ecological value were the scattered trees, the two sections of semi-improved neutral grassland, the intact hedge surrounding the site and the pond. 6.2.4 The survey did not identify any habitats within the study area, considered to be of local, regional or national ecological value. 6.3 Species 6.3.1 The desk study located a variety of protected species records for the local area (see plan and details at Appendix II). 6.3.2 It should be noted that absence of records does not equate to absence of species in a study area. The site has been assessed on the suitability of the habitats to support such protected species and the likelihood of those species being present. Amphibians 6.3.3 The desk study confirmed that common toads had been recorded within 2kms of the study area, no records of great crested newts were found by the search. 6.3.4 The waterbody and the surrounding semi-improved neutral grassland on site were found to support small populations of common frogs and common toads, as well as an individual smooth newt. 6.3.5 The waterbody was found to be of good suitability for great crested newts. The habitat immediately surrounding the pond was considered likely to provide suitable terrestrial habitat for great crested newts, if present. The areas of amenity grassland and hard standing was considered to be of either low, or negligible suitability for these species. 6.3.6 The waterbodies located to the north and south of the site were considered to be of average suitability for great crested newts. 6.3.7 From a review of aerial photographs, and based on the field survey the connectivity between these waterbodies and the pond on site is considered to be low. This is conclusion is based upon the relatively significant distance between the pond onsite
14 LOCKHART GARRATT LTD Trees, Woodland, Forestry
12-2499 3614 D02 R Phase 1 Habtiat Report Rev 2 May 2013
and these water bodies (more than 300m away) and the presence of several well used roads further limiting the potential for newt dispersal. 6.3.8 There is potential for great crested newts to be present within the pond and its immediately surrounding habitats. May 2013 Update 6.3.9 The surveys completed in April and May 2013 have confirmed that great crested newts appear to be absent from the pond onsite. 6.3.10 No evidence of these species was also found within other ponds within 500m of the site sampled as part of the survey. Badgers 6.3.11 Based on the findings of the field assessment, the generally unsuitable habitat within the study area it is considered unlikely that badgers used the study area for foraging or breeding purposes. There is some limited potential that the boundaries of the site could be used for commuting. Bats 6.3.12 The field assessment identified one tree within the study area with roosting potential for bats (Tree 1 – Moderate bat potential). This tree is not to be affected by the proposed plans. The remainder of the trees on site are considered to be of either low or negligible bat roosting potential. 6.3.13 The buildings on site were found to be in good condition and well-sealed providing low bat roosting potential. 6.3.14 Bats are likely to be using the boundaries of the site for foraging and commuting, for example along the intact hedgerows. Birds 6.3.15 The site offered some foraging and breeding opportunities for birds within the scattered trees, introduced shrubs and hedgerows. Birds were also recorded foraging within the areas of amenity grassland onsite. Reptiles 6.3.16 Based on the findings of the field assessment, the lack of suitable breeding and foraging habitat, it is considered unlikely that significant populations of reptiles are present within the study area. 6.3.17 There is some limited potential that reptiles could be within the northern section of semi-improved neutral grassland. 7. CONCLUSIONS 7.1.1 The majority of the site at the time of the assessment was considered to be of low ecological value. 7.1.2 There were some features of intermediate ecological value on site. This included the standing water and its surrounding grassland, intact hedges and scattered trees.

7.1.3 The pond was considered to be of good suitability for amphibians including great crested newts. Updated May 2013 7.1.4 Based on the findings of the GCN survey completed in April and May 2013 great crested newts are considered not to be present within aquatic or terrestrial habitats onsite. 7.1.5 The pond and immediate surrounding habitat support a medium population of smooth newts, common frog and a small number of common toads.

RECOMMENDATIONS 8.1 General 8.1.1 The majority of the site (amenity grassland/hardstanding/buildings) is of low ecological value and can be removed with very limited ecological impact. 8.1.2 If in the unlikely event any protected species (e.g. badgers, reptiles, or nesting birds) are encountered as part of the works, then all works must stop, with advice sought immediately from Lockhart Garratt (01536 408840). 8.2 Habitats 8.2.1 The standing water and its surrounding grassland was found to offer habitat for some species of amphibians, with potential for others. These habitats should be retained and enhanced. 8.2.2 It is recommended that as far as possible, the boundary features including the intact hedgerows and associated scattered trees, should be retained as they offer potential foraging, breeding and sheltering opportunities for a range of species. 8.3 Species Amphibians 8.3.1 As there is standing water on site and amphibians have been found in association with this pond, it is recommended that the pond be retained. The semi-improved neutral grassland surrounding the pond was found to offer terrestrial habitat for several amphibian species. This grassland should also be retained and where possible increased. 8.3.2 As there is potential for great crested newts to be present within the pond and the surrounding grassland it is recommended that a full presence/likely absence great crested newt survey be undertaken prior to any works commencing. This survey should be completed in line with the guidance published by Natural England5. May 2013 Update 8.3.3 Four surveys have been completed in line with the guidance published by Natural England. These surveys have confirmed that great crested newts are likely to be absent from the pond onsite, and do not appear to be present within other suitable waterbodies within 500m of the study area. 8.3.4 The surveys have confirmed populations of common amphibian including smooth newt and common frog use the pond onsite. Small numbers of common toad have also been recorded. 8.3.5 In order to ensure that these species are considered the Amphibian Method Statement presented in Section 7 of the appended Great Crested Newt report in Appendix V is to be followed. Bats 8.3.6 As described above (8.2.2) as many of the trees around the boundaries of the site should be retained as possible.

8.3.7 The only tree with bat roosting potential is found on the south-east of the site. Based on the current proposals this tree is not to be impacted, either directly, or indirectly (e.g. construction lighting) 8.3.8 The existing scattered trees and hedgerows should be retained where possible so the foraging and commuting opportunities which this habitat currently offers for bats will be maintained. 8.3.9 To ensure that no indirect impacts on bats usage of these features occur then following working practices should be implemented: Night working should be avoided where possible; lighting used during the construction phase must be directed away from the trees around the boundaries of the site Construction practices should be follow best practice in terms of dust and noise and control Any exterior lighting installed on the new building should be directed away from the retained trees and into the existing car parking area to the south and east Birds 8.3.10 As the scattered trees, introduced shrubs and hedgerows may potentially offer breeding opportunities for birds works affecting these habitats should take place outside the bird breeding season (March to August inclusive). If in the event works need to proceed within this period then specialist advice from a suitable qualified ecologist should be sought. Reptiles 8.3.11 There is some limited potential for reptiles to be utilising the semi-improved neutral grassland to the north of the site. This section of grassland should be removed under the supervision of a suitably qualified ecologist and co-ordinated with the great crested newt mitigation works as required (see 8.3.4 above). 8.4 Enhancements 8.4.1 In order to increase the biodiversity value of the site as part of the development any landscape planting should incorporate native species, including those species known to provide foraging opportunities for breeding birds and nectar sources for invertebrates. 8.4.2 The current site lacks bat roosting potential in the majority of the trees on site but there is potential for bats to be utilising the site for foraging and commuting. There is opportunity to erect bat boxes on some of the trees to be retained to offer bat roosting. It would be recommended to install 5 bat boxes on the scattered trees, for example Schwegler 2FF.

Statutory Sites:
Special Protected Area (SPA) SPAs are strictly protected sites classified in accordance with Article 4 of the EC Directive on the conservation of wild birds (79/409/EEC), the Birds Directive.
Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) The SSSI series provide statutory protection for the best examples of the natural environment. SSSI were originally notified under the National Park and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and they were renotified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Improved provisions for their protection and management were introduced in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
National Nature Reserve (NNR) NNRs are declared by the statutory country conservation agency (English Nature) under the National Park and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. NNR contain the most important examples of natural and semi-natural ecosystems within Great Britain. NNR conserve the habitats within them and offer opportunities for research.
Local Nature Reserve (LNR) LNRs are declared under the National Park and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by local authorities. LNR are declared and managed for nature conservation, education and research or opportunities for public access to nature.
Non-statutory sites:
Nature Improvement Area (NIA) Following the Natural Environment White Paper (2011), twelve NIAs were designated and granted government funding in February 2012. They should aim to achieve significant and demonstrable enhancements of the ecological network over large areas by undertaking the actions prioritised in the review: • Improving the management of existing wildlife sites • Increasing the size of existing wildlife sites • Increasing the number of wildlife sites • Improving connectivity between sites • Creating wildlife corridors
Local Wildlife Site (LWS) Local Wildlife Sites are areas of land which are rich in wildlife and are the equivalent to Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation. Criteria for selection take in threats and declines in certain species, national priorities and local distinctiveness. The LWS system is managed, in partnership, by The Wildlife Trust, local authorities, statutory nature conservation agencies, local naturalists and landowners. Local Wildlife Sites were previously known as County Wildlife Site (CWS) in the past.
Protected Wildflower Verge (PWV) Protected Wildflower Verges are roadside verges rich in wildlife and are crucial to the success of the local Biodiversity Action Plan. Criteria for selection take in threats and declines in certain species, national priorities and local distinctiveness. The PWV system is managed, in partnership, by The Wildlife Trust, local authorities, statutory nature conservation agencies, local naturalists and landowners.
Pocket Park The Pocket Park vision is to develop easy public access to the countryside, bringing the countryside to the people and providing opportunities for enjoyment and understanding of 'Countryside on the Doorstep'. Over the past 18 years, the county council has worked in partnership with many organisations and other local authorities to help create 80 Pocket Parks. For more information on this scheme please refer to the website at www.pocketparks.com.
Local Geological Site (LGS) Local Geological Sites (LGS) are the most important places for geology and geomorphology outside the statutory SSSI. The sites are designated using locally developed criteria and are assessed by the local geological group.
Potential Wildlife Site (PWS) Potential Wildlife Sites (PWS) are sites that are either known or thought to be of higher biodiversity value than the average countryside but have not been confirmed to be of Local Wildlife Site (LWS) standard.
PWS can belong to one of three categories: 1. Sites never fully surveyed and assessed against LWS criteria. 2. Sites surveyed and assessed against the LWS criteria but not currently reaching the standard. 3. Sites previously recognised as LWS but not currently meeting the latest LWS criteria.
PWS were originally outlined using a combination of local knowledge and looking at aerial photographs for evidence of biodiverse habitats. All PWS are likely to be important for the County’s biodiversity, either in their own right, or through buffering and linking current LWS and contributing to Green Infrastructure. Many of these sites could potentially be of LWS standard once surveyed Area around Bdridgewater Primary School (2km search area)

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Terms of Instruction 1.1.1 This report has been commissioned by Architecture Initiative to undertake a great crested newt Triturus cristatus survey of a series of ponds within 500m of Bridgewater Primary School, Northampton (see Appendix I for location plan). 1.2 Qualifications 1.2.1 The authors of this report are detailed below: James Whiteford BSc (Hons) MCIEEM MSB - Primary Author/Primary Surveyor (GCN Licence: CLS00284) Katherine Breslin BSc (Hons) GradCIEEM - Secondary Author/Secondary Surveyor (GCN Licence: CLS002171) James Hildreth BSc (Hons) PhD MCIEEM CEnv – Secondary Surveyor (GCN Licence: CLS01475) John Lockhart FRICS CEnv - Project Director Marie Allcoat - Project Administrator 1.3 The Site 1.3.1 At the time of the assessment the site mostly comprised amenity grassland, buildings and hard standing. 1.3.2 The majority of the surrounding landscape was recorded as being residential housing interspersed with areas of open green space. Allotments were recorded adjacent to the eastern boundary of the site. Directly to the north of the site was an area of derelict land. This area was covered in rank grassland with small areas of scattered scrub. 1.3.3 The redline location plan is presented at Appendix I. 2. APPROACH 2.1.1 To assess the presence/absence of great crested newt close to the site the following tasks were undertaken: A Desk Study; A series of four survey visits.

3. METHODOLOGY 3.1 Desk Study 3.1.1 The purpose of the desk study was to collect baseline data held by statutory and non- statutory consultees. 3.1.2 Information was requested for the site as well as a 2 km radius around the site in line with the IEMA Guidelines (1995). This information was gathered from the following organisations (with the full information presented in Appendix II): • Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre 3.1.3 This element of work was undertaken as part of the initial Extended Phase 1 Habitat survey for the site which was conducted by Lockhart Garratt Ltd in January 2013. 3.2 Great Crested Newt Presence/Absence Survey 3.2.1 The site was subject to a Phase 1 Habitat Survey in January 2013 (Lockhart Garratt Ltd, 2013) with the results presented on the plan at Appendix III. 3.2.2 A great crested newt survey was conducted on four different waterbodies, including the attenuation ponds within the school grounds. 3.2.3 The great crested newt (GCN) survey was undertaken following the published English Nature (now Natural England) recommended guidelines for the different methodologies and the timing of the visits during the 2013 newt breeding season. All survey work was undertaken in accordance with English Nature’s Great Crested Newt Mitigation Guidelines (2001) and JNCC’s Herpetofauna Workers’ Manual (2003) under a current Natural England survey licence (Licence No: CLS00284). 3.2.4 Methodologies used for the specific site conditions were: • Bottle traps; • Egg searching; • Night torching; and • Netting 3.2.5 The surveys were undertaken in April and May 2013 with three visits undertaken between mid-April and Mid-May. 3.2.6 Other amphibian species caught or identified through the above methods are detailed in the survey results.

4. RESULTS 4.1 Desk Study Results 4.1.1 The full information collected during the desk study is presented at Appendix II and summarised below. No protected amphibian records (great crested newt) were identified within the 2 km study radius during the desk study. The search identified a single amphibian species within 2km of the study area; common toad Bufo bufo. 4.2 Habitat Descriptions 4.2.1 The Phase 1 Habitat plan is presented at Appendix III. Broad habitats recorded at the site included amenity grassland, hard standing and buildings, intact hedge, introduced shrub, semi-improved neutral grassland, scattered trees and standing water. 4.2.2 A single pond was noted by the Phase 1 habitat survey. The pond appeared to have been man-made and lined with a butyl-liner, it is shown on the plan in Appendix III. 4.2.3 In addition four other waterbodies which were located in suitable adjoining and linked habitat (e.g. connected to the site by wet ditches) were also sampled as part of the presence/likely absence GCN survey. 4.2.4 Other waterbodies more than 500m from the study area were excluded from the analysis. This was due to a selection of man-made barriers (e.g. tarmaced and residential areas) which were considered likely to limit the likelihood of GCN being able to travel from these sites to the study area. 4.2.5 The Phase 1 habitat report (Lockhart Garratt 2013) detailed the standing water habitat as: An attenuation pond is located to the north of the main school building. It is understood that the pond had been deepened and lined with an artificial lining in recent years. The pond was found to support a good range of native submerged and emergent species including water soldier Stratiotes aloides, water mint Mentha aquatica, willowherb Epilobium sp., creeping bent Agrostis stolonifera, spike rush Eleocharis palustris , water plantain Alisma plantago-aquatica and bulrush Typha sp. The waterbody on site was considered to provide suitable foraging and breeding conditions for a range of amphibian species. The suitability of the water body for great crested newts was assessed using the habitat suitability index (HSI)1. The pond was found to have a HSI score of 0.70, which classified the pond as being of good suitability for great crested newts 4.2.6 The Phase 1 habitat report (Lockhart Garratt 2013) also provided some detail on two of the waterbodies located offsite but included within the presence/likely absence survey:
1 Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) – Oldham et al, 2000 – Method for assessing the suitability of a waterbody for great crested newts.

The other 2 waterbodies within 500m of the site were also scored using the HSI method. Both waterbodies had an average suitability score. 4.3 Field Survey Results 4.3.1 Five water bodies were surveyed for GCN in 2013 (see plan at Appendix IV) with four visits undertaken between April and May. 4.3.2 The surveys were carried out in mild to warm weather with a minimum temperature no less than 5°C (see Appendix IV for raw data table). 4.3.3 The survey results are presented in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 below. 4.4 Field Survey Limitations 4.4.1 Pond 1 located within Abingdon Park was entirely man-made with a concrete liner. As a result it was not possible to carry out bottle trapping within this waterbody. To compensate netting and additional torching effort were used to compensate for this limitation. The egg searching effort associated with Pond 1 was also limited due to a lack of marginal vegetation. The banks of the pond were largely devoid of emergent and aquatic plants with only occasional leaves accessible around the edge.

Man-made pond with concrete lining which forms part of a series of waterbodies within Abingdon Park. The pond has a 0.65 Rectangular Photo 1 420m single inlet and outflow. Small vegetated island in the north-eastern corner. The pond supports a large number of waterfowl 1 North Average 0.28ha including swans, ducks and coots.
Narrow depression located immediately to the south of Pond 1. The waterbody appears to have formed naturally with 0.50 Rectangular 400m several trunks belonging to trees along the road side incorporated within the base of the pond. The balance of the Photo 2 North vegetation within the waterbody is restricted to species common to the surrounding areas of amenity grassland which are Below 2 0.05ha resistant to frequent and prolonged inundation. A male and female mallard were noted in association with this waterbody on average several occasions. The southern boundary of the pond is heavily shaded by a line of mature broadleaved trees. Attenuation pond with butyl liner set within the existing school grounds. The pond has a single outlet and is bound on all Oval 0.76 0m four sides by a small belt of semi-improved grassland containing suitable amphibian hibernacula (log piles and large Photo 3 Located onsite boulders) and an outdoor classroom and raised boardwalks. All the pond banks were unshaded with sections of marginal 3 0.07ha Good planting present around the fringes of the water. The pond supports a range of native submerged and floating leaved plants including water soldier, rigid hornwort, bog bean, black sedge, yellow flag and lesser spearwort. Circular 315m This waterbody was a small pool located along an existing ditch network. The pond had steep sides and a gravel bottom. 0.61 Photo 4 South-east Flows were variable with high flow rates noted on several occasions. Marginal vegetation was restricted to willowherb and 4 0.002ha nettle. No submerged, or floating leaved plant species were noted growing in the pond. Average
475m This is a large waterbody which forms part of the flood attenuation system within Northampton. The waterbody has two Oval 0.67 South-east main outlets to the east and west. The northern bank appeared to have been subject to dredging works in recent months Photo 5 with areas of bareground and newly planted trees noted. A small wildfowl nesting platform was noted in the centre with a 5 0.24ha Average narrow fringe of aquatic vegetation along the southern boundary. Several common waterfowl species were recorded foraging and roosting in association with the waterbody.
2 HSI – The HSI score for each of the ponds within the survey area was calculated based on the scoring system and guidance published by Oldham et al (2000).The HSI represents a measurement of habitat suitability and as such does not represent a substitute for full survey involving a range of methods including trapping and torching. Full breakdown of scores are available in Appendix IV.

5. EVALUATION 5.1 Local Context 5.1.1 The desk study did not provide records of protected amphibian species within 2 km radius of the site. 5.1.2 Habitats within the local area considered more suitable for great crested newts include the existing areas of standing water to the north and south, area of semi- improved grassland and scattered scrub immediately to the north of the study area, and allotments to the east. 5.2 Habitats 5.2.1 Habitats identified as part of the Phase 1 survey considered suitable for amphibian species include the pond and surrounding area of semi-improved grassland which incorporated several log piles. Such habitats could provide breeding, over-wintering and foraging habitat for amphibians. 5.2.2 The ponds and interconnecting ditches located to the north and south of the study area were considered to be of either below-average or average suitability for amphibians. 5.3 Species 5.3.1 No great crested newt were identified during the survey and it is considered that the species is likely to be absent in the study area. 5.3.2 The pond located within the school grounds (Pond 3) supports a medium population of smooth newts and common frogs and a small number of common toads.
12 LOCKHART GARRATT LTD Trees, Woodland, Forestry
6. CONCLUSIONS 6.1.1 Presence of great created newt (GCN) is unlikely within the pond located onsite, and those located in the surrounding area based on the findings of the amphibian survey. 6.1.2 The survey did confirm that the pond within the school grounds supports a medium population of smooth newts, common frogs and small numbers of common toads. 6.1.3 The disturbance and construction works planned as part of the development can proceed subject to full implementation of the indicative Amphibian Method Statement presented below;
13 LOCKHART GARRATT LTD Trees, Woodland, Forestry
7. AMPHIBIAN METHOD STATEMENT 7.1.1 The following Method Statement is applicable to any works affecting the existing pond or surrounding habitat area as shown on the Phase 1 plan for the site; Timing Works to the existing pond onsite are to be completed outside of the amphibian breeding season (main period March-July inclusive).
Key Actions: 1. Stage 1 - Preparation of receptor site I. Prior to works commencing a small area of grassland will be fenced with amphibian fencing. The location and extent of the receptor site is to be agreed with the Ecological Clerk of Works. II. Logs and other suitable refuga (e.g. tiles) located around the existing pond will be carefully removed by hand into the receptor site. This work is to be subject to supervision by the Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW). Any amphibians found to be seeking refuge beneath these features will be relocated to the receptor site at the same time. 2. Stage 2 - Translocation I. Immediately prior to works commencing the pond will be subject to two nights trapping in an effort to capture any amphibians which may be present in the water. II. A minimum of 4 Dewsbury traps4 will be used as part of this operation. Any amphibians captured as part of this trapping effort will be carefully translocated to the receptor site. 3. Stage 3 – Toolbox Talk / Ecological Supervision I. A toolbox talk is to be given to the contractors undertaking the works by the ECoW. The toolbox talk will include a briefing on the amphibians present within the area to be worked, their habitat preferences and also a set of instructions to follow if any are encountered as part of the works. II. If in the event the pond needs to be drained entirely this work is to be done so with care and under the supervision of the Ecological Clerk of Works. 4. Stage 4 – Re-introduction to newly restored pond I. Following completion of all disturbance works. Amphibians and terrestrial refuga present within the receptor site will be relocated to the banks of the newly restored pond. The amphibian fencing around the receptor site will then be removed.
4 Dewsbury Traps – Natural England recognised method for sampling for great crested newts. These traps are known to be effective at capturing significant numbers of amphibians. 14 LOCKHART GARRATT LTD Trees, Woodland, Forestry
Enhancement To ensure that suitable terrestrial habitat is maintained for amphibians known to use the pond a 1.5m wide strip of semi-improved grassland is to be provided around the entire boundary of the newly restored pond. A single hibernacula following Natural England guidelines is to be built in this area. The cross-section of the pond is also to be designed such that the southern and western banks have a gentle slope (1:50) for at least 1m from the edge of bank Artificial strips of suitable material are to be added to the pond to provide potential egg laying opportunities for amphibians. The ECoW can provide guidance on the location of these features. Protected Species If in the unlikely event any protected species of amphibian (e.g. great crested newts) are discovered then works will need to stop with advice sought from Natural England

Statutory Sites:
Special Protected Area (SPA) SPAs are strictly protected sites classified in accordance with Article 4 of the EC Directive on the conservation of wild birds (79/409/EEC), the Birds Directive.
Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) The SSSI series provide statutory protection for the best examples of the natural environment. SSSI were originally notified under the National Park and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and they were renotified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Improved provisions for their protection and management were introduced in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
National Nature Reserve (NNR) NNRs are declared by the statutory country conservation agency (English Nature) under the National Park and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. NNR contain the most important examples of natural and semi-natural ecosystems within Great Britain. NNR conserve the habitats within them and offer opportunities for research.
Local Nature Reserve (LNR) LNRs are declared under the National Park and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by local authorities. LNR are declared and managed for nature conservation, education and research or opportunities for public access to nature.
Non-statutory sites:
Nature Improvement Area (NIA) Following the Natural Environment White Paper (2011), twelve NIAs were designated and granted government funding in February 2012. They should aim to achieve significant and demonstrable enhancements of the ecological network over large areas by undertaking the actions prioritised in the review: • Improving the management of existing wildlife sites • Increasing the size of existing wildlife sites • Increasing the number of wildlife sites • Improving connectivity between sites • Creating wildlife corridors
Local Wildlife Site (LWS) Local Wildlife Sites are areas of land which are rich in wildlife and are the equivalent to Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation. Criteria for selection take in threats and declines in certain species, national priorities and local distinctiveness. The LWS system is managed, in partnership, by The Wildlife Trust, local authorities, statutory nature conservation agencies, local naturalists and landowners. Local Wildlife Sites were previously known as County Wildlife Site (CWS) in the past.
Protected Wildflower Verge (PWV) Protected Wildflower Verges are roadside verges rich in wildlife and are crucial to the success of the local Biodiversity Action Plan. Criteria for selection take in threats and declines in certain species, national priorities and local distinctiveness. The PWV system is managed, in partnership, by The Wildlife Trust, local authorities, statutory nature conservation agencies, local naturalists and landowners.
Pocket Park The Pocket Park vision is to develop easy public access to the countryside, bringing the countryside to the people and providing opportunities for enjoyment and understanding of 'Countryside on the Doorstep'. Over the past 18 years, the county council has worked in partnership with many organisations and other local authorities to help create 80 Pocket Parks. For more information on this scheme please refer to the website at www.pocketparks.com.
Local Geological Site (LGS) Local Geological Sites (LGS) are the most important places for geology and geomorphology outside the statutory SSSI. The sites are designated using locally developed criteria and are assessed by the local geological group.
Potential Wildlife Site (PWS) Potential Wildlife Sites (PWS) are sites that are either known or thought to be of higher biodiversity value than the average countryside but have not been confirmed to be of Local Wildlife Site (LWS) standard.
PWS can belong to one of three categories: 1. Sites never fully surveyed and assessed against LWS criteria. 2. Sites surveyed and assessed against the LWS criteria but not currently reaching the standard. 3. Sites previously recognised as LWS but not currently meeting the latest LWS criteria.
PWS were originally outlined using a combination of local knowledge and looking at aerial photographs for evidence of biodiverse habitats. All PWS are likely to be important for the County’s biodiversity, either in their own right, or through buffering and linking current LWS and contributing to Green Infrastructure. Many of these sites could potentially be of LWS standard once surveyed Area around Bdridgewater Primary School (2km search area)
