Executive Summary This report contains confidential/sensitive ecological records and as such should not be made available for public circulation. An extended Phase 1 habitat survey (P1HS) of Annie Holgate Junior and Infant Schools was carried out on 6th September 2013. This survey included an external inspection of all the existing buildings on both sites for bat roost and breeding bird potential. The field survey was supplemented by a data gathering exercise and desk top review. The survey area comprises the area to be developed and all areas to be used during construction. Habitats present were mapped and the presence of, or the potential for them to support protected species, was noted. All existing buildings on site will be demolished, except for the plant room and Sure Start Accommodation at the infants school, so their potential for supporting protected species (in particular bats and breeding birds) was assessed. The habitats recorded within the study area are of limited botanical value, containing a low diversity of common and widespread plant species. The survey area is dominated by amenity grassland, buildings and hard standing with introduced shrub beds and trees scattered around the site. There are also areas of woodland and scrub at the site periphery. A pond was located in the north of the survey area. Woodland is a UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) priority species/habitats (which are all those listed as habitats and species of principal importance in Section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act, 2006). There is also a spring that runs along the northern boundary, as such, exclusion measures are recommended to protect the wooded areas and spring corridor during construction (see Section 4.2) The pond located within the survey area is surrounded by suitable terrestrial habitat for great crested newt (GCN) and has links to the wider area via woodland corridors and a nearby allotment site. It is recommended that a presence /absence survey is conducted to determine if GCN are using the site. The buildings offer moderate potential for roosting bats and several possible bat roost features were identified. Depending on the preferred option that is selected, several of the existing buildings on site will be demolished. As such it is recommended that further surveys of the buildings will be required: two dusk emergence / pre-dawn re-entry surveys undertaken between July and August by suitably qualified ecologists. No other ecological surveys are required to inform the detailed design or to accompany a planning application, but the timing of the demolition and any required vegetation removal should consider the potential for nesting birds. Depending on the findings of the recommended pre-construction check on the hole located in the area of scrub in the north of the survey area, additional generic construction site mitigation may be required should the presence of badger be confirmed.

(Jacobs) was commissioned by the Education Funding Agency (EFA) to provide environmental support to the option selection process and possible submission of a planning application for the proposed development of a new two storey block on the playing field at Annie Holgate Infant School (both schools are within the survey area), which is located in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire (grid reference SK52624862 see inset on Phase 1 Habitat Survey Map (Figure 1). The proposed site plan of the preferred option being considered for the location of the new building is presented in Appendix A. The proposed works will comprise construction of a new school building and associated works as outlined below, depending on the selected preferred option: construction of a new two storey school to include nursery within existing playing fields at the Annie Holgate Infant and Nursery School demolition of all existing school buildings at both junior and infant schools with exception of the plant room and Sure Start accommodation at the infant and nursery school potential loss of some vegetation during the demolition process creation of a new car park on an existing playing field area adjacent to the new school, increasing current parking provision. 1.2 Aims and Objectives The aims of the survey were to record the habitats present and identify the presence of, or potential for, legally protected species to occur within the proposed development area. It is understood that this report will inform the detailed design and may accompany a planning application for the proposed works. The objectives of the survey were to: undertake a desk study and consultation exercise to collect existing records of species and designated sites (statutory and non statutory) within 2km of the proposed development site; undertake an extended Phase 1 habitat survey (P1HS) of the proposed development site; undertake an external inspection survey of the buildings for evidence indicating use by bats; assess the potential of the buildings and trees present to support roosting bats, and identify the requirement for any further ecological surveys necessary to accompany a planning application. 1 1.3 Site Description Annie Holgate Junior and Infant Schools is located in Hucknall, 9km from the centre of Nottingham. The school is surrounded by residential properties and the A611 road runs along the western boundary. Woodland borders the northernmost tip of the survey boundary which extends into a larger area of allotments to the north. Due to the school’s suburban location, the wider landscape consists of a mix of urban conurbation with open areas (including recreation grounds, golf courses, and an airfield) and industrial units. Beyond 1-2km in all directions the landscape becomes dominated by extensive arable fields and pastures.

RLP Policy ENV1 (Development Criteria) states that all developments must incorporate best practice in the protection and management of water resources, whilst RLP Policy ENV40 (River Environment) states that planning permission will not be granted for development that would have an adverse effect on water quality. ACS Policy 1 (Climate Change) states that development proposals will be expected to deliver “high levels of sustainability” in order to mitigate against and adapt to climate change, including flood risk and sustainable drainage. Similar objectives are sought by the Framework. 2. The application is accompanied by a number of reports seeking to deal with issues of flooding and drainage, prepared in the main by Hyder Consulting (UK) Limited. Analysis of various documents submitted in support of the application highlights a number of serious short comings associated with the proposed development, as highlighted below. 3. By way of background, a report on the Greater Nottingham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (GNSFRA) prepared by GBC Planning Policy Manager and tabled at GBC Cabinet meeting on 4th September 2008 and subsequent Planning Committee on 9th Sept 2008 concluded: - “For Gedling Borough, the SFRA primarily consolidates and expands upon existing flooding information to provide a more complete picture of flood risk and its impact on planning.

The project is a grant-aided Local Heritage Initiative initiated by Papplewick Parish Council. Stage 2 will entail detailed site survey. The area lies east of the River Leen, close to the site of three former cotton mills worked by the entrepreneur George Robinson in the late 18th century. Three others were also built lower down the river between Papplewick and Bulwell. These mills included both a former corn mill and some others built by Robinson that were of a large scale, similar to those of Richard Arkwright in Derbyshire. The larger mills no longer survive. The former corn mill, Wark Mill, appears on a map of 1692 and may be a much earlier site, recorded in documents from the 11th century onwards. A datestone bears the name J.

  • The Protection of the Nottinghamshire Coalfield by the Bentinck Colliery
    The International Journal of Mine Water, Vo1.7,No. I, March 1988,pp. 9- 24 THE PROTECTION OF THE NO'ITlNGHAMSHIRE COALFIELD BY THE BENTINCK COLLIERY h4INEWATER CONCENTRATION SCHEME H G AWBERY General Manager British Coal Corporation Cotgrave Colliery Cotgrave, Nottingham. ABSTRACT The paper gives a brief description of the story of pumping arrangements along the South Western border of the Nottinghamshire coalfield. It outlines the size of the water handling problem to protect the Nottinghamshire Area, and the mining and civil works necessary to collect, pump and discharge all of this water. It describes recently closed collieries and their make of water, and details the migration of these quantities through a variety of roadways and goaf areas to the new lodgement facilities to be installed at Bentinck Colliery. Other pumping stations and total makes of water along the South Paper presented at the Symposium on Pump and Pumping, University of Nottingham, August 1987. Western Boundary are described to give the full picture of the size of the project to handle approximately fifty million gallons per week. INTRODUCTION The closure of numerous interconnected Collieries, along the outcrop, on the western edge of the Nottinghamshire coalfield has resulted in a continuous migration of minewaters in an easterly direction towards operating mines. Several centralised pumping stations surfacing millions of gallons of water per week, have been established to protect the working collieries (Figures 1 and 2). Prior to closure of Moorgreen and Pye Hill Collieries, minewaters totalling 225 million gallons per annum (428 g.pm.) were being surfaced and discharged into the Erewash via three shafts and two surface drifts.
