Introduction 1.1 AECOM was appointed by Elstead Parish Council to assist in undertaking a Habitats Regulation Assessment (HRA) for the Elsead and Weyburn Neighbourhood Plan (NP). This is to inform Elstead parish Council and Waverley Council of the potential effects of NP development to European Sites and how they are being addressed in the Neighbourhood Plan, for that Council to take into account in their formal HRA. 1.2 The Waverley Local Plan Part 1 and Part 2 (LP) were subject to HRA in 2018 and updated in 2019. The primary conclusion of those HRAs was a need to address urbanisation and recreational pressures to the Special Protected Areas (SPA), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Ramsar (protected wetland) sites located within the Waverley boundary as a result of development allocations. The HRA recommended policy mechanisms for this that are reflected in the adopted Local Plan. 1.3 The Waverley LP HRA considered both allocations made in Local Plan Part 1 and the overall quantum of development expected across the district over the Local Plan period. This included an allowance for 160 dwellings at Elstead and Weyburn, of which approximately 100 have now been delivered, with the remainder to be allocated in the Neighbourhood Plan). The LPP1 HRA also included a windfall allowance for Waverley District. The total quantum of growth in Elstead & Weyburn has therefore already been assessed in combination with growth across Waverley and attributable to other plans and projects as part of the HRA of the Waverley LPP1. However, the specific locations of development for Elstead & Weyburn were not assessed as they are made by the Neighbourhood Plan rather than LPP1. The objective of this particular HRA is therefore to identify if any particular site allocations and/or policies in the Neighbourhood Plan that have the potential to cause an adverse effect on the integrity of Natura 2000 or European designated sites (Special Areas of Conservation, SACs, Special Protection Areas, SPAs, and Ramsar sites designated under the Ramsar convention), either in isolation or in combination with other plans and projects, and to determine whether site-specific mitigation measures are required. Legislation 1.4 The need for HRA is set out within Article 6 of the EC Habitats Directive 1992 and interpreted into British law by the Conservation of

Part of a network of the very best of Britain’s ponds; sites of exceptional importance for freshwater wildlife and some of our finest freshwater habitats. The Flagship sites can be a single special pond, or more commonly group of ponds, selected because they support rich, often irreplaceable, communities and species at risk of extinction. They represent some of the least impacted, most diverse pond habitats remaining in the country. Many of our nation’s most beautiful and biodiverse waterbodies have degraded irrevocably, and it’s critically important that the remaining sites are well protected and well managed. In 2015, with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Freshwater Habitats Trust launched the Flagship Ponds project, Mats of Water Crowfoot flower on Bramshill working with land managers and community groups to ensure that the most Plantation’s Longwater. critical pond sites in Britain were protected for the long term.

    WILDLIFE HIGHLIGHTS – 2000 WEEK 52 DEC 25 – 31 BIRDS: SUN 31 DEC It sounds as if Jason Crook was caught out in the appalling wind and rain that set in this afternoon and looks set to spoil many a birder’s New Year outing tomorrow – nevertheless Jason reports that he had a good but brief view of an adult or third winter Ring Billed Gull from the steps leading onto Budds Mound above the sewage outfall – possibly, though he does not suggest it, the same bird that was often seen from Broadmarsh slipway in I think two winters ending in March 1999. From the mound Jason saw the hybrid Ferruginous duck still on Budds Farm pools and a new comer – a first winter male Scaup – and out on the harbour the female Eider. At Farlington Marshes he saw a first winter Kittiwake (is this what Ian Thirlwell saw the other day?) and tells us that three (not four) Avocet have recently been seen on the lake. Among the usual good selection of info on the SOS website I see this evening that the first 16 Fulmar have arrived back at their nesting cliffs between Ovingdean and Saltdean immediately east of Brighton and that a Crane flew north east over Hastings – both reports from Dec 30. Weather driven arrivals in Sussex yesterday included up to seven Whooper Swans in the River Cuckmere valley (just west of Beachy Head) and two Bewick’s plus a Glaucous Gull at Rye where there are now 4 Bitterns and where four redhead Smew and 30+ Whitefront Geese were seen on Dec 29 (the single Waxwing is still in the Winchelsea area and a Green Winged Teal has been seen at the Pevensey Levels).

  • Thames Basin Heaths SPA Citation
    EC Directive 79/409 on the Conservation of Wild Birds Special Protection Area (SPA) Name: Thames Basin Heaths Unitary Authority/County: Bracknell Forest; Hampshire; Surrey; Windsor and Maidenhead. Site description: The Thames Basin Heaths SPA is a composite site that is located across the counties of Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire in southern England. It encompasses all or parts of Ash to Brookwood Heaths Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Bourley and Long Valley SSSI, Bramshill SSSI, Broadmoor to Bagshot Woods and Heaths SSSI, Castle Bottom to Yateley and Hawley Commons SSSI, Chobham Common SSSI, Colony Bog and Bagshot Heaths SSSI, Eelmoor Marsh SSSI, Hazeley Heath SSSI, Horsell Common SSSI, Ockham and Wisley Commons SSSI, Sandhurst to Owlsmoor Bogs and Heaths SSSI and Whitmoor Common SSSI. The open heathland habitats overlie sand and gravel sediments which give rise to sandy or peaty acidic soils, supporting dry heathy vegetation on well-drained slopes, wet heath on low- lying shallow slopes and bogs in valleys. The site consists of tracts of heathland, scrub and woodland, once almost continuous, but now fragmented into separate blocks by roads, urban development and farmland. Less open habitats of scrub, acidic woodland and conifer plantations dominate, within which are scattered areas of open heath and mire. The site supports important breeding populations of a number of birds of lowland heathland, especially nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus and woodlark Lullula arborea, both of which nest on the ground, often at the woodland/heathland edge, and Dartford warbler Sylvia undata, which often nests in gorse Ulex sp. Scattered trees and scrub are used for roosting.

    WILDLIFE DIARY AND NEWS FOR DEC 24 - 30 (WEEK 52 OF 2012) BIRDS Divers : Plenty of Red-throated this week with as many as 24 to be seen off Selsey Bill on Dec 28 and around 20 in Christchurch Harbour on Dec 24 with just 1393 seen off The Hague in the Netherlands on Dec 26. The only place to see more than one Black-throated was Anstruther in Scotland with 3 on Dec 27 but singles were seen at Sandy Point (Hayling Island) on Dec 23, Christchurch Harbour on that day and Dec 24, with one in the Stokes Bay are of Gosport on Dec 27 and 28.

Grebes : No mention of the east Solent Great Crested this week but there were 33 in the Torbay area of Devon on Dec 23 and 55 off Folkestone on Dec 27. Single Red-necked were heading west past Selsey Bill on Dec 27, Weymouth Bay in Dorset on Dec 26 and Gerrans Bay in Cornwall on Dec 23. Portland Harbour had the most Slavonian (but only 4 on Dec 27 with Selsey Bill coming second with 3 on Dec 23).
