Ecological Assessment Hanson Building Products Limited Geoplan Limited Wilnecote Quarry Town & Country Planning ‘EIA’ Regs 2011 Environmental Statement Background to Environmental Assessment ES 1.0 Introduction ES 1.0.1 This Environmental Statement (ES) has been prepared in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 (the ‘EIA Regulations’). It accompanies and should be read in conjunction with, a planning application by Hanson Building Products Limited that proposes variation of planning conditions to allow amendment to approved quarry development drawings in order to maximise reserve recovery and construction of an internal site haul road at Wilnecote Quarry, Dobshill, Staffordshire. ES 1.0.2 The scope of the environmental assessment has been determined with reference to an earlier assessment undertaken in April 2000 and takes into account the potential interaction of the development on key environmental factors identified in the EIA Regulations. ES 1.0.3 For each issue considered within the Environmental Statement, the methodology used is set out, details of the existing (baseline) situation provided, and impacts likely to result from the proposed development predicted. Using this information any measures necessary to reduce or avoid the impacts are identified and the significance of any remaining impacts evaluated. Hanson Building Products. Limited Page 1 Geoplan Limited Wilnecote Quarry Town & Country Planning ‘EIA’ Regs 2011 Environmental Statement ES 1.1 Legal Basis and Purpose of the Environmental Statement ES 1.1.1 The statutory framework for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is provided by the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 (hereafter referred to as the EIA Regulations). These regulations implement the European Directive 85/337/EEC, amended by Directive 97/11/EC, and require that certain types of development are to be subject to EIA. ES 1.1.2 This Environmental Statement (ES) sets out the findings of the EIA. It provides a description of the proposed development, details of existing environmental conditions and an assessment of the likely environmental effects of the proposed scheme. The ES has been prepared in accordance with the EIA Regulations and DETR Circular 02/99 ‘Environmental Impact Assessment’. ES 1.1.3 Technical input to the ES has been provided by Hanson Building Products Limited, Geoplan and various other technical stand-alone reports which have been commissioned to support the application. Full details of commissioned surveys and data used in this ES are given in the individual chapters and their corresponding technical appendices. ES 1.2 The EIA Process ES 1.2.1 As noted earlier, the key legislation that defines the EIA process and the subsequent content of an Environmental Statement is the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England Hanson Building Products. Limited Page 2 Geoplan Limited Wilnecote Quarry Town & Country Planning ‘EIA’ Regs 2011 Environmental Statement and Wales) Regulations 2010 supplemented by DETR Circular 02/99 Environmental Impact Assessment. The key stages in the EIA process are to: . Establish whether EIA is required (screening); . Establish the scope of the EIA in terms of impacts and issues to be considered (scoping); . Describe the proposed scheme and alternatives considered; . Describe the existing (baseline) environmental conditions at the site and, where appropriate, in the surrounding area; . Identify the likely environmental impacts of the proposed development; . Identify mitigation measures that could be implemented to avoid or reduce any potential adverse environmental impacts and to provide or enhance beneficial environmental impacts of the scheme; . Assess the residual environmental impacts of the scheme, taking mitigation measures into account; and finally . Produce an Environmental Statement (ES) to present the above information ES 1.3 Screening ES 1.3.1 No formal screening application has been made to Staffordshire County Council in connection with this application, although discussions have been held with officers of the authority. As the original planning application which permitted working of this part of the site was accompanied by an ES, an ES has been prepared for the current application although the scope has been reviewed and revised where deemed appropriate. Hanson Building Products. Limited Page 3 Geoplan Limited Wilnecote Quarry Town & Country Planning ‘EIA’ Regs 2011 Environmental Statement ES 1.4 Scoping ES 1.4.1 No formal scoping request has been made to the Council, although details of the development proposals have been provided to the Council and officers have provided informal pre-application advice on issues they believe should addressed. ES 1.4.2 There is no formal requirement in the EIA Regulations to produce a scoping report prior to an Environmental Statement, DETR Circular 2/99 acknowledges at paragraph 82 that the role of EIA is to examine “the main or significant effects to which a development is likely to give rise”. The purpose of scoping is therefore to identify at an early stage in the EIA process the key environmental issues, which then permits subsequent work to concentrate on a more focussed range of environmental topics. ES 1.4.3 The objectives of scoping are to: . Identify potential environmental issues associated with the proposal; . Assess those environmental issues which should be considered further in the final reports to accompany the planning application; . Provide a basis for consultation, where appropriate, with statutory and non-statutory consultees on the relevant environmental issues; . Define what methods will be used to assess the environmental effects of the proposal; . Where appropriate, agree with statutory and non-statutory consultees on these methods. Hanson Building Products. Limited Page 4 Geoplan Limited Wilnecote Quarry Town & Country Planning ‘EIA’ Regs 2011 Environmental Statement ES 1.4.4 The key environmental issues identified by the Council as pertinent to the development under consideration are: • Noise • Landscape and Visual Impact • Ecology • Historic Built Environment – Hockley Hall • Rights of Way ES 1.5 Structure of the ES ES 1.5.1 For each of the chapters where potential environmental impacts have been identified, the following format has been used: . Introduction . Methodology . Baseline/existing situation . Predicted impacts . Proposed mitigation measures . Significance of residual impacts/Conclusions ES 1.5.2 This allows a clear analysis of the predicted impacts of the scheme relative to the existing situation and the significance of these impacts following implementation of proposed mitigation measures. ES 1.5.3 Each chapter considers beneficial and adverse, short-term and long- term impacts during operation. Hanson Building Products. Limited Page 5 Geoplan Limited Wilnecote Quarry Town & Country Planning ‘EIA’ Regs 2011 Environmental Statement ES 1.6 Assessment of Significance ES 1.6.1 The evaluation of impact significance has taken into account the extent, magnitude and duration of the impact (measured against the baseline situation and performance against environmental quality standards where appropriate), its reversibility or irreversibility, its compatibility with environmental policies and the sensitivity of the receptor. Significance levels are defined separately for each topic within the methodology sections, in relation to appropriate standards/guidelines where appropriate, such as the Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (Landscape Institute and IEMA 2002). ES 1.6.2 For ease of reference the Planning Application, Environmental Statement and Technical Appendices have been bound together. All schedules, survey data and specialist’s reports referred to in the following text are included within the Technical Appendices. These appendices should be read in conjunction with the written statements contained within the planning application and environmental statement and cross referenced, where appropriate. ES 1.6.3 The Non-technical Summary of the ES forms a stand-alone document, written to summarise the proposals and enable members of the public, without specialist knowledge of the mineral industry and the planning process, to understand the basis of the application and the likely effects upon the environment. ES 1.6.4 The Planning Application and Environmental Statement have been compiled and project managed by Geoplan Limited, with input from Hanson Building Products.

Information provided within the document will inform the preparation of a Core Strategy for the District as part of the Local Development Framework, in particular in the consideration of potential development locations within the District and an overall spatial strategy for longer term development having regard to principles of sustainability. 1.2 In his report on the Public Examination into the District Council’s first submitted Core Strategy (withdrawn 2006), the Inspector concluded that although there were proposed housing allocations within some of the District’s rural settlements, there was a lack of evidence in relation to the suitability of villages in the District to accommodate growth. He considered that the relative sustainability of different settlements should have been assessed as part of the preparation of the Core Strategy. He indicated that an assessment of the sustainability of rural settlements would ensure that the scale and location of development outside the District’s two main towns was driven by overall sustainability considerations, rather than simply the availability of previously developed land.

  • Appendix 2 HECA Overviews
    Appendix 2: Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This appendix provides an overview of the historic environment for each of the Historic Environment Character Areas (HECAs) which fall within Lichfield District. It should be noted that the information and any recommendations contained within each of the documents is subject to amendment should any new information become available. For further information regarding the Historic Environment Record (HER); Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) and designated sites please contact: Cultural Heritage Team Environment & Countryside Development Services Directorate Staffordshire County Council Riverway Stafford ST16 3TJ Tel: 01785 277281/277285/277290 Email: [email protected] Staffordshire County Council February 2009 1 Historic Environment Character Area (HECA) 2a Introduction This document forms an overview of the HECA which specifically addresses the potential impact of medium to large scale development upon the historic environment. The character area covers 5,645ha lies wholly within Lichfield District boundary and to the west of Tamworth. Archaeological and Historic Documentation Archaeological work within the character area has tended to concentrate along the A5 and the M6 (Toll) roads. The information on this character area mostly comes from the HER data, whilst VCH has covered part of the area. Historic Environment Assets Summary The current understanding on the later prehistoric landscape of the character area suggests that it had mostly been heavily wooded until Bronze Age, when some clearance may have begun to take place to support a small scale pastoral economy. The earliest evidence for human activity from the character area dates to the Mesolithic period; however, this comes from flint artefacts and probably represents the presence of mobile hunting groups and transitory occupation.

  • HS2 Community and Environment Fund
    HS2 Community and Environment Fund What is the Community and Environment Fund (CEF)? The CEF fund has been created to add benefit over and above committed mitigation and statutory compensation to communities along the route that are demonstrably disrupted by the construction of Phase One of HS2 from London to West Midlands. In Lichfield District this will include: Drayton Bassett Hints Weeford Swinfen and Packington Whittington Lichfield City Fradley and Streethay Kings Bromley Armitage and Handsacre There are two types of CEF funding: CEF Local will focus on quality of life and environment in individual communities. CEF Strategic will focus on large projects across several communities and address strategic rather than purely local concerns. Wherever possible, the CEF fund aims to leave a sustainable legacy. A combined total of £40 million has been made available for these two funds over a period of 11 years throughout the Phase One construction period and for the first year of operation of HS2 services. CEF Local will fund smaller projects (up to a maximum of £75,000 per project) which will benefit quality of life for individual communities. CEF Strategic will fund larger grants (from £75,001 up to a maximum of £1 million per project) and will provide a legacy by supporting projects which benefit multiple communities along the Phase One route. Who can apply for funding? Primarily this funding programme is targeted at the voluntary/community sector, including resident’s associations, constituted community groups, Community Interest Companies (CICs), social enterprises, community businesses and registered charities. Other organisations may be eligible to apply for funding too eg if they have been formally established for public benefit and are not for profit.

Scope of the Green Belt Review Tamworth includes part of the West Midlands Green Belt towards the south and south east of the Borough. The principal purpose of this review is to assess the extent to which it meets the five purposes of Green Belt as stated in paragraph 80 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Evidence is needed to support the policies and proposals to be contained in the Local Plan 2006 - 2031. This is in order to show that the presence of statutory Green Belt within Tamworth has been properly taken into account in the preparation of the Plan and that the Green Belt boundaries have been critically assessed to ensure that they are appropriate to fulfil their purpose during the Plan period and beyond. This Green Belt review supersedes the 2012 review prepared by Lichfield District Council. 2. Introduction and aims of the Review The aims of this review are: • To review the land within the Green Belt against the five purposes of the Green Belt as outlined in paragraph 80 of the National Planning Policy Framework. • To make an assessment of opportunities to enhance the beneficial use of the Green Belt as outlined in paragraph 81 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
