Introduction This development plan is a document which sets out the current situation of Calthorpe Park, together with the ambitions and expectations for its future This is the first development plan written for Calthorpe Park and will provide a route map for both users and custodians of the park to help them take decisions on its maintenance, use and development. The plan looks to define a vision for Calthorpe Park and considers objectives that could be achievable over a 5 year timeframe. The plan also looks at wider issues that affect the Park, including policy and legal issues, as well as socio-economic factors. The plan goes on to describe how Calthorpe Park and the work that is proposed to be carried out there will be promoted and evaluated. It consists of two parts: Part 1 is concerned with general management of the area and user facilities; Part 2 is concerned with ecology and wildlife issues. This plan has been developed jointly by the Friends of Calthorpe Park and Fleet Town Council, in consultation with key stakeholders of Calthorpe Park, such as the users identified in section 2.3. This hopefully ensures that it fulfils the needs of the community which it serves. The core of this development plan is the proposed development project opportunities that will move the facilities and ecology towards our 2018 vision. These are described in section 9 of this document and in tabular form with potential funding sources and timelines in Appendix 6. The opening of the new cycleway through the park is not included as this will have been completed and opened by September 2013. Items that have been established as priority items (or already being actioned) for progress in 2013/2014 are Installation of CCTV to protect facilities and park users Amendment of FTC Civic Events Policy to protect park environment Planning and planting of Wildflower Meadow with seating Provision of MUGA facility in Tennis Court 3 Invasive plant removal in wooded areas and SINC planning 2. Site Description and Information Base 2.1 Name of site: Calthorpe Park 2.2 Location: Calthorpe Park is an area of 34.368 acres (13.909 hectares) situated about a quarter of a mile west of the Oatsheaf crossroads at the centre of Fleet, Hampshire (see Figure 1). It is surrounded by residential areas, with Tavistock Road to the north, Lea Wood Road and Stanton Drive to the south, Merivale to the west and Reading Road North to the east. Figure 2 shows a more detailed map of the central area of the park, excluding most of the cricket ground to the east and the western end that borders on Merivale.

    Report Number 623 A literature review of urban effects on lowland heaths and their wildlife English Nature Research Reports working today for nature tomorrow English Nature Research Reports Number 623 A literature review of urban effects on lowland heaths and their wildlife J C Underhill-Day RSPB, Syldata Arne, Wareham Dorset BH20 5BJ Telephone: 01929 550969 email: [email protected] You may reproduce as many additional copies of this report as you like, provided such copies stipulate that copyright remains with English Nature, Northminster House, Peterborough PE1 1UA ISSN 0967-876X © Copyright English Nature 2005 Executive summary Introduction Heather clad lowland heath developed on light, freely draining, acid soils following prehistoric woodland clearance, and down the centuries, has been kept open by grazing, burning and cutting. As the economic value of these uses declined, considerable areas of heath were lost to agriculture, forestry, housing, roads, mineral working and other uses, and today, much of what is left is adjacent to built up areas, especially in Dorset. These lowland heathland fragments can be found across much of southern England on suitable soils. Much of the research on heathlands over the last twenty years has concentrated on the Dorset heaths, which are now almost all SSSIs and mostly within the Dorset Heathland SPA. While this report reflects the bias in the literature towards work in Dorset, the results have wide applicability to urban heathlands that are accessed by the surrounding urban populations for amenity and recreation whether in Dorset or elsewhere. This urban public access places considerable pressures on the heaths, for example through disturbance, wild fires, trampling, predation by domestic pets, pollution and enrichment.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

"Following the excitement of seeing our first Purple Emperor inside our office yesterday, exactly the same thing happened again today at around 9.45am. The office door was open and we spotted a butterfly on the inside of the window, on closer inspection we realised it was a Purple Emperor. It was much smaller than the one we had seen the day before and more battered. However we were able to take pictures of it, in fact the butterfly actually climbed onto one of the cameras and remained there for a while. It then climbed from camera to hand, and we took it outside for more pictures before it eventually flew off. It seemed to be feeding off the hand.". Purple Empeor Purple Empeor Terry Hotten writes: "A brief walk around Hazeley Heath this morning produced a fresh Small Tortoiseshell along with Marbled Whites, Silver- studded Blues in reasonable numbers along with Meadow Browns, Ringlets and Large and Small Skippers." peter gardner reports from highcross froxfield (SU712266) where the following observations were made: Red Admiral (1 "purched on an hot window ").

    Biodiversity Action Plan for Hart 2018 – 2023 Contents Introduction………………………………………,,,,,,………………… 3 Purpose of this Action plan………………………………..…………… 4 Biodiversity Achievements 2012-17……………………….….…...…… 5 What is biodiversity and why is it important? …………..…………….. 7 Overview of the biodiversity resource in Hart …………..…...………. 9 Designated sites in Hart…………………………...……..…………… 11 Nature conservation sites managed by HDC………….………..….… 17 Action Plan 2018-23………………………………….…………….…. 19 2 1. Introduction 1.1 The natural environment in Hart has experienced large changes over the past century, in common with most of south eastern England. However, there remains an extremely diverse natural environment in the district, rich in different habitats and species. Hart is characterised by a mosaic of farmland, ancient woodlands, lowland heathlands and water courses. There is also a varied built environment from newer towns such as Fleet and Yateley to rural towns and villages such as Odiham and Hartley Wintney which all contain features which contribute to overall biodiversity resource. 1.2 The publication of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act in 2006 makes biodiversity an important consideration for all local authorities. Section 40 of this act sets out the duty to conserve biodiversity: “Every public authority must, in exercising its functions, have regard, so far as is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions, to the purpose of conserving biodiversity”. 1.3 The adoption of the first Hart Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) in 2012 helped translate national and regional targets into local action, whilst also highlighting species and areas of local importance. The first Hart BAP was implemented by the Council’s Biodiversity Officer in partnership with other groups such as the Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre (HBIC), Hart Countryside Services, Parish Councils, friends of groups and other council departments.

    272 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB INSECTS IN HAMPSHIRE, 1933 By F. H. HAINES HE summer of 1933, remarkable for drought and the amount of long-continued sunshine and heat, reacted on insects, T especially Lepidoptera, on the whole favourably. Times of appearance were very early, migrants numerous, and species normally single or double-brooded often produced an extra brood. But many, such as dragonflies, were soon over. February was wet, April dry, but June had one very heavy storm here (1.59ms. in 24 hours). The absence of rain was particularly noticeable later in-the year : in August, November and December. Orthoptera (Earwigs, Cockroaches, Crickets and Grass­ hoppers). The species of Ectobia were abundant and early, as was Nemobius sylvestris F., and grasshoppers : Pholidoptera griseoaptera De G. in the New Forest in August, Metrioptera albopunctata Gz. near Ringwood, M. brachyptera L., Conocephalus dorsalis 'Latr., Meconema thalassinum De G. and Leptophyes punctatissima Bosc. in the Forest. Tetrix subulatus L. was common, and hibernated T. bipunctatus L. was met with here very early. Goytphocerus maculatus Thunb. was everywhere in the wild, dry places around through summer and autumn, its colour, as usual, varying endlessly with that of its surroundings. The large Mecostethus grossus L., not uncommon in the forest bogs, and usually on Linwood Bog, was strangely, conditions being so favourable, not found here this year. Omocestus rufipes Zett. was not nearly so common on the heath as was O. viridulus L. on the grass. It was still abundant, basking in the sun on the woodwork of the house here, and else­ where, late in October.
