  • Family Off-Road Cycle Route
    Norbury Park 2007:Norbury Park Leaflet 22/9/09 15:48 Page 1 Access through the barrier and go down the hill. Take care if it’s wet as the slope can become slippery. At the bottom kissing gate turn left and walk along the field headland, then turn right past the large beech trees down towards the railway. Family Off-road Cycle Route 1 This trail is approximately 7km (4 /2 miles) long, follows a firm surface and will 1 take about 1 /4 hours, it is waymarked by posts with a cycle symbol. The trail is also suitable for the more robust type of off-road pushchair and four-wheel disabled buggy/scooter. WARNING: This trail uses a short section of public road, the rest is within Norbury Park. Be prepared to meet farm vehicles and timber lorries. Back Drive possesses speed humps. Start from Fetcham car park (height restriction at entrance) take the track in front of the information board. The woodland on your right is called The Hazels and in the past has been coppiced regularly - cut down to just above ground level and allowed to regrow - to provide bean and pea sticks. In springtime the woodland floor is covered with primroses, which attract numerous feeding insects. The woodland in the distance on your left is known as Fetcham Downs. Some 60 -100 years ago much of this area was open grassland but left unmanaged it has gradually reverted to woodland. Longcut Barn on your left was once used as a holding pen for the sheep which used to graze the downland.

  • Epsom & Ewell Biodiversity Action Plan
    Epsom & Ewell Biodiversity Action Plan Progress report for 2016 Introduction During 2016 the Epsom & Ewell Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) Working Group oversaw significant progress in implementing the plan which can be viewed here: http://www.epsom-ewell.gov.uk/EEBC/Environment/Biodiversity.htm The importance of Biodiversity: Biodiversity encompasses the whole variety of life on Earth. It includes all species of plants and animals, their genetic variation, and the complex ecosystems of which they are part. It is not restricted to rare or threatened species but includes the whole of the natural world from the commonplace to the critically endangered. The intricate network of ecosystems, habitats and species comprising biodiversity provides the support systems that sustain human existence. It provides many of the essentials of life, our oxygen, water, food, clothing, health and relaxation. Consequently, humanity must adopt sustainable ways of living that ensure the protection of biodiversity. Today we live in a world where the economic activities of an ever increasing human population threaten biodiversity which is being lost at an ever increasing rate. Britain alone is known to have lost 100 species during the twentieth century and today over 40% of priority habitats and 30% of priority species are declining nationally. There is a broad consensus around the world that we need to act now, or risk handing our children a world we would not recognise as planet Earth! 1 | P a g e The 'Working Group' currently comprises the following

Before purchase the site had been largely abandoned inviting fly-tipping, arson and other urban fringe problems, while the potential diversity of its habitats (rank semi-improved grassland and scrub) was in decline. The original developer, Combined Counties Properties, Figure 12.1 Priest Hill nature reserve, Ewell, Surrey funded much of the priority habitat restoration and creation as well as providing a site manager’s house and maintenance base, as a significant BNG. Ownership of the reserve and associated buildings was transferred to Surrey Wildlife Trust ahead of development of the remainder of the site, marketed later by CALA Homes. Throughout the process, the Trust worked closely with the developers and the LPA, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council, to ensure the full potential of the site was realised. 12.2 ISSUES The site is located within the green belt so there was local resistance to any development, especially the policy-recommended affordable housing allocation (which was subsequently waived).

  • North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements
    Biodiversity Opportunity Areas: the basis for realising Surrey’s ecological network Appendix 6: North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog's Back ND02: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Guildford to the Mole Gap ND03: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Mole Gap to Reigate ND04: North Downs; Epsom Downs to Nonsuch Park ND05: North Downs; Banstead Woods & Downs and Chipstead Downs ND06: North Downs Scarp; Quarry Hangers to the A22 ND07: North Downs Scarp; Woldingham ND08: North Downs; Banstead & Walton Heaths December 2015 Investing in our County’s future Surrey Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statement Biodiversity Opportunity Area ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog’s Back Local authorities: Guildford, Waverley Aim & justification: The aim of Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs) is to establish a strategic framework for conserving and enhancing biodiversity at a landscape-scale, making our wildlife more robust to changing climate and socio-economic pressures. BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.

  • Surrey Dormouse Group Newsletter
    Issue 1 Spring / Summer 2015 Surrey Dormouse Group Newsletter Welcome to the first issue of the Surrey Dormouse Group Newsletter! Thank you for supporting SDG as we venture into our first season of independence. We now have 78 members and are continuing to grow. Your help and financial support will ensure we continue to monitor dormice across Surrey, and provide safe and secure places for them to nest. The 2015 season is now well under way. It got off to a good start in March, with several dormice being found, including the big fellow in the top photo – 25g is a pretty impressive weight after 25g dormouse found in March (photo courtesy of Martin D’Arcy) months of hibernation! Many of the dormice found so far this year have been torpid, which makes for nice photo opportunities, but may be a reflection of shortage of food and / or cold weather. The other interesting trend this year seems to be the unusually high number of dormice found in empty boxes – making nests is so last season. The small number we saw last year has probably already been exceeded. In this issue: Torpid dormouse (photo courtesy of Kathryn Killner) • How was 2014 for Surrey dormice?
