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.

His tally of recovered swords was then two compared to the one of his colleague. He later retrieved a ‘set of hub-caps’ that proved to be a votive deposit of late Roman pewter plates. (see p19) BETCHWORTH CASTLE: Recent research and access arrangements Martin Higgins During 2011 significant conservation work took place at the ruins of Betchworth Castle near Dorking. Scaffolding allowed the first close inspection of the medieval building and has thrown up some interesting questions. The schedule entry for the site describes it as a fortified manor house. Few of these survive nationally, and this is the only example in Surrey of the nine that once existed1. In 1449 its owner, Sir Thomas Browne, was granted a licence to crenelate and embattle his manor of Bechesworth and this is the date traditionally ascribed to the present fabric. The licence repeated one of 1379 and it may be that work was undertaken on both or neither occasion: other documentary sources are silent on the matter. Not all fortified manor houses had licences from the Crown, but having one meant that nobody could challenge the owner’s right to call his home a castle. Two early images of the castle survive. One, made by John Aubrey in 1673 (illustrated), shows it from the north with a large tower - interpreted as a chamber block - to the east (left) and a tall tower over a gatehouse to the west.
