The survey focussed on bat and bird species and has been completed to provide supporting information for a planning application for the proposed development at the site1. 1.1.1.2 Included within the report are the findings of dusk emergence bat surveys and barn owl surveys undertaken in September 2020, along with a desktop study. 1.1.1.3 The site is located at OS grid reference SE50916417 at an altitude of ~24 m above sea level and comprises two farm buildings on the western periphery of the village of Tollerton (Figure 1). The site is located 15.5 km north of York city centre and 6 km south of the market town of Easingwold, with the neighbouring villages of Youlton and Alne centred 1.86 km and 1.80 km west and north west of site, respectively. The application site covers approximately 0.3 ha. 1.1.1.4 The aim of the survey was to determine the potential for the proposed development to affect protected/notable species and habitats, and to provide recommendations for mitigation and/or compensation input if required. The survey was completed to inform planning decisions in relation to the proposed development. Figure 1. Approximate site location shown by red line (aerial imagery dated 2018). 1 The proposed development works will include the demolition of the existing barns to create four dwellings. Design plans appended to the report. 3 1462 – Land north of Tennis Court Lane, Tollerton Bat & Barn Owl Survey 2 Methodology 2.1 Desk Study 2.1.1.1 North Yorkshire Bat Group (NYBG) was contacted for bat records within a 2 km radius of the site. In addition, the following web sources were searched for statutorily protected sites and additional ecological data of most relevance: Multi-Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside (MAGIC), Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 mapping and aerial imagery (dating 2002, 2005, 2009, 2013, 2015, and 2018). 2.2 Personnel 2.2.1.1 The survey was led by Thomas McQuillan MCIEEM2 3. 2.3 Bat Scoping Survey and Inspection Survey 2.3.1.1 The buildings proposed for demolition were subject to detailed external and internal inspections for signs of bats on 3rd September 2020. This involved searching the exterior and interior of the buildings for signs of bats such as droppings and for potential bat roost locations. The survey was undertaken in accordance with current good practice guidelines4 5. 2.3.1.2 The buildings were assessed in terms of its potential to support bat roosts using the following categories: Negligible potential. Low potential. Moderate potential. High potential. Confirmed roost. 2.3.1.3 As part of the survey, an overview ecological appraisal was completed, with the aim being to gather sufficient baseline information on the habitats within the site in order to allow an interpretation of the associated ecological value. Evidence of barn owl activity and previous nesting bird activity was search for during the survey. 2.3.1.4 In addition, the site was searched for incidental evidence of protected / notable fauna and assessed in terms of its potential to support protected / notable fauna including species listed within European, national and local legislation and policies. 2.4 Dusk Emergence Bat Survey 2.4.1.1 Dusk emergence bat surveys were undertaken on the barns on 3rd and 17th September 2020. 2.4.1.2 Two surveyors were present during the survey on 3rd September 2020; Thomas McQuillan MCIEEM and Anna Berthinussen (2016-23914-CLS-CLS - CL20 Level 4) 2.4.1.3 Three surveyors were present during the survey on 17th September 2020; Thomas McQuillan MCIEEM, Anna Berthinussen (2016-23914-CLS-CLS - CL20 Level 4) and Emily Hopkin. 2.4.1.4 Good views of all Potential Roost Features (PRFs) on the barns proposed for development were held during the surveys. The surveyors used Batbox duet, Peersonic RPA3 and Bat Scanner detectors.

I am a fan of the comedian Miranda Hart and her television sitcom “Miranda”. In the show one of the characters, Miranda’s friend Tilly, repeatedly said the phrase “Bear with…” as something else took her attention in the presence of her friends. “Bear with…” feels exactly the correct phrase for this time. There seem to be a lot of things about “coming out of lockdown” which require us to wait a little longer, even when those things have already been promised to us. We at the Churches in Aldwark, Alne and Tollerton are asking you to please “bear with” us, as we carefully consider reopening our buildings. Many of our regular members are in the vulnerable category and my priority is to keep them and others as safe as I possibly can. It would be devastating to me to reopen buildings without the correct measures in place, and for someone to become unwell as a result. At present, it appears as though St Mary’s Alne is the church building most likely to be opened, at some point, for private prayer, which is great news, but only if I am satisfied we are safe to do so.

THE VICAR’S LETTER How income inequality harms society! On YouTube recently, I came across a TED talk by Richard Wilkinson with the above title. Using 20 Western nations and data from the UN, he explained what happens when we widen the gap between the rich and poor in society. His talk is not about how much total wealth is generated, but rather how fairly that wealth is shared. His conclusion was that the wider the income inequality gap becomes, then not only is an injustice occurring, but the greater the health and social problems suffered in that society. The social indices measured included: - Life Expectancy - Maths and Literacy - Infant mortality rates - Homicide rates - Imprisonment - Teenage births - Trust - Obesity - Mental Health, inc addictions - Social mobility Of the 20 countries he surveyed, the UK was third worst, in that we have one of the widest gaps between the rich and poor, with only the USA and Portugal having a more unequal society.

I can’t believe it has only been a month since the last time I wrote to you all. With all the Covid-19 information being updated and new regulations coming in almost daily, it feels like a month has happened in the last week. On Thursday 12th March, at a service marking the start of the “Come and See” Mission (I mentioned in the last Parish Newsletter) the Archbishop of York, The Most Reverend & Right Honourable Dr. John Sentamu, stated that the Lord’s Prayer is a great thing to wash your hands to, as it take 20 seconds to say. I have never said the Lord’s Prayer as much as I have this last few weeks and I have found it a great comfort. Some of you won’t have said the Lord’s Prayer since you left school, unless it was at a wedding, baptism (christening) or funeral. While others of you, perhaps despite not attending church every Sunday, will say it daily. Life at the moment is uncertain and strange. We are confined to our own homes for the betterment of our health and that of others. Navigating a pandemic is something new for us all.
