This was in order to determine the status of great crested newts in ponds which may be affected by the Onshore Scheme. 1.1.2 The Onshore Scheme (as shown on Figure 1) description, definitions of terminology and development are presented in Chapters 2: Onshore Scheme Development and Alternatives (Document 6.2) and Chapter 3: Onshore Scheme Description of the Environmental Statement (Document 6.3). 1.2 SUMMARY OF SCOPING: DEFINING THE STUDY AND SURVEY AREAS 1.2.1 The scoping assessment for the Onshore Scheme was undertaken in 2012 which defined the Desk Study Area, Study Area and Survey Area for the great crested newt habitat assessments and surveys. The areas were defined as follows: Desk Based Study Area 1.2.2 The ecological desk based study undertaken included the Preferred Route Corridor (PRC) (Figure 1) plus 1 kilometre (km) buffer zone from the PRC boundary to establish the presence of protected species, including great crested newt. This has been termed as the Desk Based Study Area. Study Area 1.2.3 An initial scoping exercise which comprised a desk based pond and habitat assessment was undertaken in early 2012. This was undertaken to map the location of all ponds located within the PRC and a buffer zone of 500 metre (m); this is the average distance great crested newts are known to move from their breeding ponds (English Nature, 2001). This area has been termed as the ‘Study Area’. Other standing waterbodies that had potential to support great crested newt were also assessed where relevant, this The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch.9 Ecology and Nature Conservation p.2 Environmental Statement Document 6.9.5 included drains and lakes. The collective term ‘pond’ is used throughout the report and other types of waterbody are differentiated where necessary. 1.2.4 Ponds were then ‘scoped in or out’ to determine further assessment and survey work, for example, this was based on pond size, the presence/absence of significant barriers to great crested newt migration such as roads/rivers, and the presence/absence of habitat linkages to the PRC. 1.2.5 As the Onshore Scheme has evolved, a distance of 250 m from ponds was applied for potential temporary habitat loss/disturbance areas, whilst 500 m has been retained when assessing permanent habitat loss elements of the Onshore Scheme such as at Above Ground Installation (AGI) sites. Survey Area Initial Habitat Suitability Index Survey Area 1.2.6 An initial Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) Assessment (Oldham et al., 2000; ARG UK, 2010) was undertaken in 2012 of all ponds (as identified during the desk based study) located within the Study Area. HSI assessments continued in 2013 of ponds located within any land not previously accessed. The 2013 assessments were undertaken within the narrower Scoping Corridor (Figure 1) plus 250 m buffer zone which was informed by the results of the evolving environmental and engineering led investigations and included any ponds associated with the Construction Compounds. Presence/Absence Surveys 2012 1.2.7 Great crested newt presence/absence surveys began in 2012 on ponds identified during the HSI assessments, these included ponds within the PRC plus 500 m buffer zone. Presences/Absence Survey and Population Assessments 2013 1.2.8 In 2013, the remaining suitable ponds located within the Scoping Corridor plus 250 m buffer zone had presence/absence great crested newt surveys. Additionally, ponds within 500 m of proposed AGIs (where permanent habitat loss is predicted) had presence/absence surveys undertaken in 2013. 1.2.9 Population assessment great crested newt surveys were undertaken in 2013 on all ponds where great crested newts had been confirmed by presence/absence surveys in 2012 and 2013 which were located within the Scoping Corridor plus 250 m or 500 m buffer zones. The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch.9 Ecology and Nature Conservation p.3 Environmental Statement Document 6.9.5 1.2.10 Collectively, the ponds included in the HSI Assessments, presence/absence great crested newt surveys and population assessment surveys are termed as the ‘Survey Area’. 1.2.11 For the purpose of this baseline report, the great crested newt results that are presented and discussed within the report include: • The Application Boundary plus 250 m buffer zone for potential temporary effects (this includes the Pipeline Envelope and Other Onshore Scheme Elements (see Chapters 2: Onshore Scheme Development and Alternatives (Document 6.2) and Chapter 3: Scheme Description of the Environmental Statement (Document 6.3)).; and • The AGI sites plus 500 m buffer zone for potential permanent effects. 1.3 SITE DESCRIPTION 1.3.1 The route of the Pipeline transverses through the two counties of East Riding of Yorkshire and North Yorkshire and contains a wide variety of habitats, characteristic of arable farmland. The habitats are dominated by arable land, towns/villages and woodland with areas of improved and semi- improved neutral grassland. Running water (rivers, canals, becks and drains) is present as is standing water in the form of lakes and ponds, which vary in size and uses. Arable field boundaries comprise mainly species- poor hedgerows and drains. 1.3.2 In relation to great crested newts, these habitats within and in close proximity to the Onshore Scheme are considered to provide suitable areas for supporting breeding, foraging and hibernating sites. 1.3.3 For the purpose of consultation and presenting the results, the Onshore Scheme is divided into four Onshore Scheme Sections as shown on Figure 1 and detailed below: • Camblesforth Multi-junction to Tollingham Block Valve (including the White Rose CCS connection; abbreviated to Camblesforth Multi-junction to Tollingham Block Valve in the remainder of this report); • Tollingham Block Valve to Dalton Block Valve; • Dalton Block Valve to Skerne Block Valve; and 1.3.4 Skerne Block Valve to Barmston Pumping Station (including Barmston Pumping Station to Mean Low Water Spring [MLWS], abbreviated to Skerne Block Valve to Barmston Pumping Station in the remainder of this report). The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch.9 Ecology and Nature Conservation p.4 Environmental Statement Document 6.9.5 1.4 SURVEY AIMS AND OBJECTIVES 1.4.1 The aim and objectives of the survey work and the subsequent report presented herein were to: Aim • To determine the status; distribution and population levels of great crested newts within and adjacent (up to 500m) to the Onshore Scheme Application Boundary in order to inform the Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA). Objectives • Undertake a Desk Based Study including consultation with Natural England on the proposed study and survey scope; and review of existing ecological data to identify any records for great crested newts within the Desk Based Study Area; • Identify ponds within the Study Area and scope in or out for HSI Assessment and further surveys; • Undertake great crested newt HSI assessments on those ponds scoped in for further survey within the Survey Area; • Undertake a great crested newt presence/absence survey on those ponds identified to have potential to support great crested newts within the Survey Area following the HSI assessment; • Determine the population size class estimate of great crested newts in those ponds with confirmed presence of great crested newts in the Survey Area; and • Record any other notable species such as other amphibians from the surveys. The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch.9 Ecology and Nature Conservation p.5 Environmental Statement Document 6.9.5 2 Legislation and Policy 2.1 RELEVANT LEGISLATION 2.1.1 The decline in great crested newt conservation status across Europe has led to its listing on Annex IV (‘European Protected Species’) of the Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora, adopted in 1992.

  • GREAT CRESTED NEWT MITIGATION SCHEME: Laneside Quarry, Kirkheaton, Huddersfield
    GREAT CRESTED NEWT MITIGATION SCHEME: Laneside Quarry, Kirkheaton, Huddersfield Introduction Laneside Quarry is a large (22.5 hectares) shale and sandstone quarry on the eastern side of Kirkheaton, West Yorkshire. Quarrying and brickwork operations ceased at the site in the 1990s and permission has since been obtained by The Casey Group to use for the site for landfill. In 2002, Great Crested Newts (Triturus cristatus) were detected in two large ponds and several smaller pools on the bed of the quarry. The Great Crested Newt receives full protection under European and UK wildlife legislation. Description and Status of Great Crested Newts The Great Crested Newt is the UK’s largest newt and can reach a length of up to 170mm. Great Crested Newts can be distinguished from the other two British species of newts by their size (Great Crested Newts are larger and much darker than other species). In the breeding season the male Great Crested Newts have a jagged crest along their back which is separated from a smoother crest along the tail. Adult male Great Crested Newt Great Crested Newts have suffered and major decline in Britain over the last century this is thought to be as a result of the loss of natural breeding sites (marl pit ponds), drainage of wetlands, silting up of ponds, fragmentation of habitats as a result of development and the loss of habitats such as grasslands and woodlands used by newts for hibernation and shelter. Local and national surveys have estimated rates of colony loss in England at between 0.5% and 4% a year during the 1960’s to 1990’s; this is equivalent to the loss of 40,000 breeding ponds in 30 years (English Nature 2001).

  • U DOG Papers of the Ogle Family 1566-1975 of Flamborough
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Ogle Family of Flamborough U DOG Papers of the Ogle Family 1566-1975 of Flamborough Historical background: The Ogle family has roots in pre-conquest Northumberland, where they had extensive properties including the castles of Ogle and Bothal. They were involved in border battles with the Scots and Lord Ogle was one of the English leaders at the Battle of Flodden. It is possible that the family was involved with the Constable family of Flamborough and that a member of the Ogle family was in the military service of Marmaduke Constable (1443-1518). This may explain why John and Jennet Ogle arrived in Flamborough in the mid-sixteenth century. He died in 1605 and his wife in 1614 (U DOG/11/30). John and Jennet Ogle had a son, George, in 1566, who served in Ireland with Robert Constable and in the 1630s was a churchwarden at St Oswald's in Flamborough. He died in 1638 leaving three houses, 21 cottages and three closes. Two branches of the family by this time existed and they owned considerable property in Flamborough. George's son, John (b.1605), died prematurely in circa 1638, leaving behind a widow, Thomasina, who did not die until 1696. Their son, also John, was born just before he died, probably in 1637. He had three sons: John (1667-1731), George (1670-1742) and William (1671-1757). George had four children: John, George, Mark and Jane. There are a few papers in the collection from this line of the family, but the bulk are papers of William Ogle, his wife, Elizabeth Jarratt, and their descendants.

  • Artificial Egg-Strip Surveying for Detection of Pond-Breeding Newts: Does Egg-Strip Substrate Matter?
    SALAMANDRA 53(4) 494–500 30 OctoberOlivia 2017 CharltonISSN &0036–3375 Todd Lewis Artificial egg-strip surveying for detection of pond-breeding newts: Does egg-strip substrate matter? Olivia Charlton1 & Todd R. Lewis2 1) 29 Park Stenak, Carharrack, Redruth, TR16 5SL, UK 2) Westfield, 4 Worgret Road, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 4PJ, UK Corresponding author: Olivia Charlton, e-mail: [email protected] Manuscript received: 7 December 2016 Accepted: 6 March 2017 by Alexander Kupfer Abstract. Survey methods for detecting newts (Salamandridae: Pleurodelinae) in ponds by identifying presence of eggs laid during their aquatic breeding condition are useful and often deployed across various population surveillance activi- ties. Egg-strip surveying is an effective way of detecting newt presence in a pond by providing an egg-laying medium for newts that can be selectively inspected by a surveyor. In this study we deployed a series of different plastic substrates to investigate substrate laying preference by three species of newts; Lissotriton helveticus, L. vulgaris and Triturus cristatus. Our results revealed that L. helveticus and L. vulgaris significantly preferred green and longer varieties of black egg-strip substrate over a thicker less pliable plastic substrate. Contrastingly T. cristatus exhibited no significant preference between substrates. Results from this study indicate that if surveyors choose to use black long, black short, black, green, yellow, or red coloured substrates, or thicker black plastic substrates for egg-strip surveys, detection for T. cristatus remains constant but with improved detection and mild preference on more pliable plastic substrates. However, for L. vulgaris and L. helveti­ cus the thicker gauge black egg-strips may significantly reduce the effectiveness of detection and are discriminated against compared to more pliable grades of green and longer varieties of black plastic substrate.
