1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1. This report documents the results of an Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey for Telford House, Houndmills Industrial Estate, Basingstoke. This assessment is required to support a planning application for the proposed development, which includes the demolition of the existing building and the construction of 5 smaller industrial units and drive thru restaurant, with associated car parking and landscaping.

1.2. The proposed site is located within Houndmills Industrial Estate on the north-western edge of Basingstoke, immediately surrounded by a series of large industrial units. The proposed development site is comprised of areas of hardstanding, a large concrete 7 storey office building (Telford House), amenity grassland, ornamental planting, segmented single species hedgerows and scattered trees.

1.3. The proposed landscape works will affect areas of the site considered to have no significant ecological value, with no or low potential to support protected species. The building is considered to have low bat potential and the immediate surrounding habitats do not offer good foraging grounds for bats.

1.4. Two trees have been identified to have low-moderate bat potential due to occurrence of potential bat roosting features. However, these trees are not currently scheduled for removal.

1.5. The new landscaping scheme should seek to incorporate areas of structured native or wildlife beneficial planting, to create foraging and sheltering habitats for faunal species. Bat and bird boxes could also be installed in suitably retained trees around the site to provide valuable roosting and nesting opportunities for these species.

4 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 2. INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

2.1. Viewpoint Associates LLP was commissioned by Glasgow City Council as administering authority for Strathclyde Pension Fund to undertake an Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey at Telford House, Houndmills Industrial Estate.

2.2. The proposed development includes the demolition of the existing building and the construction of 5 smaller industrial units and drive thru restaurant, with associated car parking and landscaping.

2.3. The survey and report undertaken followed the standard JNCC Phase 1 Survey Methodology, extended to assess the potential for the site to support protected species.

Site overview

2.4. The proposed site is located within Houndmills Industrial Estate on the north-western edge of Basingstoke. The survey site is immediately surrounded by a series of large industrial units. Residential areas are situated directly outside the industrial estate, with a railway line approximately 500m to the south.

2.5. The wider landscape offers a mosaic of agricultural fields and copses, particularly to the north and west. Weybrook Park Golf Club lies within 1km to the north-west.

2.6. The proposed development site is comprised mainly of areas of hardstanding and a large concrete 7 storey office building (Telford House). A few areas of amenity grassland, ornamental planting, segmented single species hedgerows and scattered trees are also present. The two sites adjacent to Telford House (Site A & D) are comprised of large warehouse units, large areas of hardstanding with a few sections of amenity grassland, ornamental planting and scattered trees.

5 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 3. LEGISLATION & POLICY

National planning policy framework (NPPF)

3.1. NPPF aims to minimise impacts on biodiversity and provide net gains in biodiversity where possible, contributing to the Government’s commitment to halt the overall decline in biodiversity, including the establishment of coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures.

3.2. Local planning policies should seek to: • Plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries. • Identify and map components of the local ecological networks, including the hierarchy of international, national and locally designated sites of importance for biodiversity, wildlife corridors and stepping stones that connect them and areas identified by local partnerships for habitat restoration or creation. • Promote the preservation, restoration and re-creation of priority habitats, ecological networks and the protection and recovery of priority species populations, linked to national and local targets, and identify suitable indicators for monitoring biodiversity in the plan. Priority species include those listed as UK Biodiversity Action Plan species.

UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP)

3.3. The plan sets out a programme for conserving the UK’s biodiversity. It led to the production of 436 action plans between 1995 and 1999 to help many of the UK’s most threatened species and habitats to recover. A review of the UK BAP priority list in 2007 led to the identification of 1,150 species and 65 habitats that meet the BAP criteria at UK level.

3.4. Priority species and habitats are those that have been identified as being the most threatened and requiring conservation action under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP). Species include West European Hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus, Great Crested Newt Triturus cristatus, and Common Toad Bufo bufo.

Hampshire Biodiversity Action Plan

3.5. The Biodiversity Action Plan for Hampshire was produced in response to a growing concern for biodiversity in the UK and throughout the world. This has become a particularly important issue since the signing of the Convention on Biological Diversity at the Earth Summit in 1992.

6 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 3.6. To advance biodiversity conservation in Hampshire, the Partnership has identified the following objectives for habitats and species: 3.7. Habitat Objectives: • Ensure no further loss or degradation of the habitat • Increase the extent of the habitat • Improve the quality of the habitat • Ensure the requirements of all priority species associated with the habitat are met • Improve knowledge of the habitat, through survey, research and monitoring • Ensure appropriate provision of information and communication

3.8. Of the UK’s 37 broad habitat types, 23 are found in Hampshire. Within the broad habitat types, ‘key’ habitats of priority importance have been identified. In Hampshire, 18 key habitats of UK conservation concern are present, and there are an additional 3 habitats of local concern. Detailed habitat action plans are written for these 21 priority habitats.

3.9. Species Objectives: • Maintain existing populations of the species • Enhance the status of the species in Hampshire • Improve knowledge and understanding of the species through survey, research and monitoring • Promote communication, education and awareness of the status and needs of the species

3.10. The UK Biodiversity Programme has identified 1288 species of national conservation concern, and of these, 489 priority species require urgent conservation action. Of the 489 national priority species, 196 are found in Hampshire, and the audit has identified an additional 248 priority species which are particularly important in the local context. Action for most of the priority species in Hampshire are covered by relevant habitat action plans.

7 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 4. METHODOLOGY

Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey

4.1. Ecologist Elizabeth Sturgess BSc ACIEEM undertook an Extended Phase 1 habitat survey on 14th May 2013. The survey identified the habitats present, following the standard ‘Phase 1 Habitat Survey’ auditing method developed by the Joint Nature Conservancy Council (JNCC). The survey focused upon the land within the red line boundary of the planning application, however adjacent areas of connected habitat were also taken into account.

4.2. A desk study sourcing relevant local biological information detailing the potential presence of any protected species was undertaken. Data were obtained for a 2km radius of the site from Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre (HBIC).

Bats

4.3. The buildings, trees and other habitats within the site boundary were assessed for their potential to support roosting and foraging bats. Buildings were inspected externally from the ground for signs of bats or potential access points and crevices which may be used by bats. The trees were assessed visually for evidence of bats and assessed for features which increase the likelihood of bats roosting, such as storm damage, rot holes, ivy cover, flaying bark and splits in the trunk.

Badgers

4.4. The site was assessed for any signs of badgers Meles meles, such as badger paths, dung latrines, feeding signs or setts. Where possible, land outside of the proposed development boundary was also searched for signs of badgers.

Dormice

4.5. The hedgerows and habitats on site were assessed for their potential to support a dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius population. Indicator species (such as hazel and honeysuckle), habitat structure and connectivity were used as measures of habitat suitability.

Birds

4.6. Habitats were assessed for their potential to support protected birds species, UK and Local Biodiversity Action Plan species, and breeding birds. All bird species were noted whether flying overhead, singing or feeding and the suitability of the habitat to support each species in terms of feeding, nesting and roosting was assessed.

8 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 A comprehensive bird survey such as a breeding bird survey was not undertaken as this was beyond the scope of the survey assessment.

Reptiles

4.7. The habitats on site were assessed for their potential to support reptiles. Particular attention was given to habitats such as rough grassland and habitat piles where there may be suitable opportunities for reptiles to bask and forage. Any water bodies were also noted as grass snakes Natrix natrix are usually associated with these habitats.

Water Voles

4.8. Aquatic habitats were assessed for their potential to support water voles Arvicola terrestris and any signs of water voles, such as footprints, latrines, runs in vegetation, signs of feeding or burrows were recorded.

Otters

4.9. Habitats were assessed for their potential to support otters Lutra lutra and any signs of otters were recorded. This included spraints, holts, footprints, feeding remains, and habitat features such as water flow velocity, pollution, amount of suitable cover, and level of disturbance.

Amphibians

4.10. The habitats on site were assessed for their potential to support amphibian species, including great crested newts (GCN) Triturus cristatus. The site was examined for suitable waterbodies for breeding and terrestrial habitat. Terrestrial habitats providing sufficiently structured vegetation in which amphibians may forage or hibernate over winter were also recorded.

Hedgehogs

4.11. Hedgerows and other habitats within the site were assessed for their potential to support hedgehogs. The hedgerows were assessed visually for evidence of hedgehogs themselves and their droppings.

12 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 Field Survey

5.6. Five different habitat types are found within the site’s redline boundary. In order of approximate dominance these are; buildings and hardstanding, amenity grassland, ornamental planting, scattered trees and hedgerows. See Figure 1 for location and extent of habitat areas.

5.7. The habitat species lists provided do not encompass full floral species lists and only dominant native species within each habitat type were recorded at the time of survey.

Buildings and Hardstanding

5.8. The buildings and hardstanding areas on site include a large 7 storey office block, two car parking areas (Appendix 2, Images 1 & 2) and associated and pathways. All buildings will be cleared to facilitate the proposed development.

Amenity Grassland

5.9. A strip of amenity grassland is present along the northern and western borders of the site (Appendix 2, Images 3 & 4). This grassland is well managed and is kept short and tidy.

5.10. The grassland is dominated by common grasses with a low species diversity of common flowering plants. Table 1 below provides a list of native species found within the amenity grassland.

Table 1: Dominant native species list for amenity grassland. Amenity Grassland Common Latin Daisy Bellis perennis Bent Grass Agrostis capillaris Fescue sp. Festuca sp.

Ornamental Planting

5.11. A few strips of ornamental planting are present adjacent to the building and within the eastern car parking area (Appendix 2, Images 5 & 6). These planting areas consist of non- native species, dominated by Leylandii. 13 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 Scattered Trees

5.12. Native tree species are scattered around the site, particularly along the northern and western boundaries (Appendix 2, Image 7). Two horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum trees are considered to have low-moderate bat potential (See Figure 1), and all others have negligible potential. However, none of these trees are scheduled for removal to facilitate the proposed development.

6. RESULTS OF DESK AND FIELD SURVEYS - PROTECTED FAUNAL SPECIES

Bats

Desk Survey

6.1. The desk study identified records for four bat species within 2km of the site; Daubentons Myotis daubentonii, Common Pipistrelle Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Soprano Pipistrelle Pipistrellus pygmaeus and Brown Long-eared Plecotus auritus. See Appendix 3 for full details of these species.

External Building Assessment

6.2. From the external assessment, the building is considered to have low bat potential. The building has a flat roof and no significant crevices were observed that would indicate moderate to high potential for bats. The building has no tiles, soffits or barge boarding and no significant holes were observed in the concrete cladding. The immediate surrounding areas do not offer good foraging habitats for bats, and they are likely to foraging in more suitable habitats located approximately 1.5 - 2km north and west of the site. Added to the low suitability of the building structure, the industrial estate and surrounding residential areas are likely to be well lit during the evenings, reducing the site’s potential for roosting bats.

Bat Habitat Assessment

6.3. The immediate surrounding habitats do not offer good potential as foraging habitats for bats. However, suitable foraging habitats are present approximately 1.5 - 2 km north and west of the site in the region of Weybrook Park Gold Club and various agricultural fields and copses.

6.4. Two horse chestnut trees on site were identified to have low-moderate bat potential (See Figure 1 - Phase 1 Habitat Plan, for locations) due to trunk cavities and loose bark (Appendix 2, Images 9 & 10). Table 3 below outlines the assessments made on each tree in accordance with methodology set out in the BCT Bat Survey Guidelines (2012).

If remedial works or felling must take place sufficient emergence survey data must be collected to establish numbers, species and type of roost. Surveys should aim to establish seasonal use patterns. If damage/disturbance to bats is likely or if modification/destruction of the roost is unavoidable, a European Protected Species License is required.

Badgers

Desk Survey

6.5. The desk study identified no records of badgers within 2km of the site.

16 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 Field Survey

6.6. No badgers, badger setts or signs of badgers were observed on site during the survey and badgers are not likely to be encountered with the industrial estate or the surrounding residential areas. The agricultural fields and copses approximately 1.5-2km to the north and west of the site are likely to support badgers.

Birds

Desk Survey

6.7. The desk study identified 16 records of birds protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981, within 2km of the site including barn owl Tyto alba. A total of 30 other BAP, LBAP or notable bird species were also recorded. See Appendix 3 for full details of these species.

Field Survey

6.8. The amenity grassland, ornamental planting, segmented hedgerows and scattered trees on site provide some foraging and nesting opportunities for a variety of common bird species.

6.9. Species observed on site during the survey include; blue tit Cyanistes caeruleus, dunnock Prunella modularis, robin Erithacus rubecula, wren Troglodytes troglodytes, blackbird Turdus merula and wood pigeon Columba palumbus.

6.10. Of the species identified the dunnock is assigned to the amber conservation list, and is of a moderate conservational concern. The remaining species are green listed and of no conservational concern, occurring regularly in the UK.

Reptiles

Desk Survey

6.11. The desk study identified records for three common reptile species within 2km of the site, including slow-worm Anguis fragilis, common lizard Zootoca vivipara and grass snake Natrix natrix. See Appendix 3 for full details of these species.

Field Survey

6.12. The site does not support habitats suitable for reptiles species and there is no connectivity to suitable habitats surrounding the site.

17 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 No reptiles or signs of reptiles were observed during the survey. Reptiles are likely to be present within more suitable habitat located approximately 1.5-2km to the north and west of the site.

Amphibians

Desk Survey

6.13. The desk study identified records for two amphibians species within 2km of the site; great crested newt Triturus cristatus and common toad Bufo bufo. See Appendix 3 for full details of these species.

Field Survey

6.14. The site does not support habitats suitable for amphibian species and there is no connectivity to suitable habitats surrounding the site. There are no waterbodies within the redline boundary, or within 1km of the site. No amphibians or signs of amphibians were observed during the survey. Amphibians are likely to be present within more suitable habitat located approximately 1.5-2km to the north and west of the site.

Dormice

Desk Survey

6.15. No dormice were recorded within 2km of the survey site in the desk study, however this may be due to under-recording rather than absence.

Field Survey

6.16. The site does not support habitats considered suitable for dormice and there is no connectivity to suitable habitats surrounding the site.

Hedgehogs

Desk Survey

6.17. The desk study identified two records for hedgehogs within 2km of the survey site. See Appendix 3 for full details of these species.

18 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 Field Survey

6.18. No hedgehogs or signs of hedgehogs were observed during the survey although a full search was not undertaken. The site provides some foraging habitats for hedgehogs however there are no dense vegetated areas suitable for nesting hedgehogs. Hedgehogs are likely to be present in the surrounding residential areas and the wider habitats to the north and west.

6.19. Water Voles & Otters

Desk Survey

6.20. A single water vole record was identified within 2km of the survey site in the desk study. No otter records were found. See Appendix 3 for full details of these species.

Field Survey

6.21. No water voles or otters, or signs of water voles or otters were observed during the survey. The site does not provided suitable habitats for these species and they are likely to confine their movements along the riparian habitats outside the site boundary.

7. POTENTIAL IMPACTS, MITIGATION & ENHANCEMENTS

Summary of Impacts to Existing Habitats and Recommended Mitigation

Buildings & Hardstanding, Amenity Grassland & Ornamental Planting (negligible - low ecological value)

7.1. The working footprint of the proposed development falls within these three habitat types. These habitat areas are all of negligible - low ecological value, mainly due to previous development and low species diversity and / or poor structure. All plant species found within these habitats are common and widespread. There is no significant potential for protected species within any of these habitats. No impacts are predicted and no mitigation is required.

Hedgerows & Trees (low - moderate ecological value)

7.2. The majority of trees and hedgerows are currently scheduled to be retained and will not be affected by the works. These habitats have low - moderate ecological value at a local level and are likely to support a range of faunal species, including invertebrates, birds and small mammals. It is recommended that all of these features are retained and enhanced to provided continued benefits to wildlife in the local area.

7.3. Two of the trees on site were identified to have low-moderate bat potential (see Figure 1). Therefore, if either of these trees are required to be removed to facilitate the development they must first be subject to a bat tree climbing survey to ensure no bats or bat roosts are disturbed or destroyed as a consequence. The trees are not currently scheduled for removal as part of the proposed development and therefore no impacts are predicted. All trees to be retained on site should be protected in accordance with British Standards BS 5837:2012. Trees located off site but with their roots on site should also be protected.

7.4. Any necessary hedgerow and / or tree clearance must be undertaken outside the bird nesting season (March to September inclusive for most species in the UK).

20 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 Outline Habitat Enhancement Strategy

Wildlife Beneficial Landscaping Scheme

7.5. The site is set within an urban industrial estate surrounded by residential areas, and as such any future planting should seek to enhance biodiversity and provide food and shelter for a wide range of faunal species. All amenity planting and formal landscaped areas should be from a palate of wildlife beneficial plants (not necessarily native) chosen for nectar or fruit and non-invasive properties. Amenity turf or amenity grass seed should consist of native grass species sourced from a certified British provenance supplier. Wildflower seed or turf margins can be a very attractive and wildlife beneficial option to compliment formal areas of standard lawn turf.

7.6. All other new landscaping should incorporate native or wildlife beneficial floral species, and all habitats are to be managed in a suitable way to encourage bats, birds and hedgehogs to use it as both a foraging, commuting and breeding site.

Habitat Enhancement Features

7.7. As a range of bat and bird species have been recorded within the surrounding habitats, a selection of bird and bat boxes could be installed on retained trees to provide essential nesting and roosting opportunities that may otherwise be unavailable to these species. The installation of these boxes should be done by a suitably qualified Ecologist to ensure they are positioned in appropriate locations.

21 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 Protected Species Impact Assessment

Bats - Buildings

7.8. The building is considered to have low bat potential and the immediate surrounding areas do not offer good foraging habitats for bats. Therefore, no further survey work is considered necessary on this occasion and no impacts are predicted.

Bats - Habitats

7.9. There are two horse chestnut trees on site with low-moderate bat potential. Any trees on site scheduled for removal that have low-moderate bat potential should be subjected to further bat tree climbing surveys to establish the absence of roosting bats. At present, these two trees aren’t scheduled for removal and no impacts are predicted.

7.10. Bats are likely to be present in the surrounding habitats, particularly the north and west of the site. The new landscaping scheme should therefore seek to introduce a variety of wildlife beneficial shrubs, which will increase the diversity of insects on which bats feed and encourage them onto the local area. A wildlife sensitive management regime of all habitats will enhance the quality of the foraging grounds for bats. The installation of bat boxes could also provide valuable roosting opportunities for bats.

Bats and Lighting

7.11. As bats are likely to be in the surrounding habitats, consideration must be given to all new lighting specifications on site. Bats are sensitive to light and will avoid areas with heavy light spillage. Appropriate lighting options will prevent a negative impact on bats using the habitats on site.

7.12. Any potential impact on bats can be minimised by: using low - pressure sodium lamps instead of high - pressure sodium or mercury lamps. “Warmer” lights should be used as a preference as these are less penetrating than bright white lights (such as LEDs). Maintaining the brightness as low as legally possible; limiting the times during which the lighting can be used to provide some dark periods. Motion sensors on a short timer can be utilised to reduce the duration of lighting. Directing the lighting to where it is needed to avoid light spillage onto vegetated margins; and minimising upward lighting by fitting lights with downward facing baffles to avoid light pollution.

22 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 7.13. Light can be restricted by fitting hoods which direct the light below the horizontal plane, at an angle less than seventy degrees. Limiting the height of lighting columns and directing light at a low level away from vegetation reduces the ecological impact of the light.

7.14. The lighting plan should be designed in liaison with a licensed Bat Ecologist, to ensure the scheme is suitable for bats. If appropriate measures are taken to reduce light spillage from the development, it is likely that there will be no negative impacts on local bat populations.

Badgers

7.15. No further survey work is recommended and no impacts are predicted as a result of the proposed development.

Birds

7.16. The proposed development is unlikely to have any impact on the potential presence of native species of bird, as long as all vegetation clearance is undertaken outside the bird nesting season (March to September inclusive for most species in the UK). All occupied bird nests have legal protection from damage and destruction under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981).

7.17. If vegetation clearance must be undertaken during the nesting season, all vegetation should first be subject to a breeding bird survey by a qualified ecologist.

7.18. The landscaping scheme should aim to enhance the habitats and flora species found on site, and thus enhance the diversity of the insect communities on which birds feed. The creation of a new native wildflower meadow and native shrub planting will improve foraging opportunities for birds. The installation of bird boxes will also provide valuable nesting opportunities for birds.

7.19. No further survey work is recommended and no impacts are predicted as a result of the proposed development.

23 Telford House -Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report © Viewpoint Associates LLP 20/02/13 Summary Conclusion

7.20. The proposed landscape works will affect areas of the site considered to have no significant ecological value, with no or low potential to support protected species. The Telford House site consists of a single building, hardstanding areas and ornamental planting.

7.21. The building is considered to have low bat potential and the immediate surrounding habitats do not offer good foraging grounds for bats. No further survey work is necessary and no impacts are predicted.

7.22. The majority of trees and segmented hedgerows along the northern and western borders of the site are currently scheduled to be retained and protected. If clearance of any trees or hedgerows is necessary, this should be done outside the bird nesting season (March - September inclusive for most UK species) to avoid disturbing or injuring birds that may be nesting within them.

7.23. Two trees have been identified to have low-moderate bat potential due to occurrence of potential bat roosting features. If either of these trees are scheduled to be removed they should first be subject to bat tree climbing surveys to establish presence / absence.

7.24. The new landscaping scheme should seek to incorporate areas of structured native or wildlife beneficial planting, to create foraging and sheltering habitats for faunal species. Bat and bird boxes should also be installed in suitably retained trees around the site to provide valuable roosting and nesting opportunities for these species.

Protected Species Legislation

Bats

In England and Wales, all bat species and their roosts are legally protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) (as amended); the Countryside and Rights of Way Act, 2000; the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (NERC, 2006); and by the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2010). You will be committing a criminal offence if you:

• Deliberately capture, injure or kill a bat • Intentionally or recklessly disturb a bat in its roost or deliberately disturb a group of bats • Damage or destroy a bat roosting place (even if bats are not occupying the roost at the time) • Possess or advertise/sell/exchange a bat (dead or alive) or any part of a bat • Intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a bat roost

Barbastelle, Bechstein’s, greater horseshoe, lesser horseshoe, brown long-eared, soprano pipistrelle, and noctule bats are all priority species under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP) and have also been adopted as species of principal importance in England under Section 41 of the NERC Act 2006.

Badgers

Badgers and their setts are afforded strict protection under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. This Act consolidates past badger legislation and, in addition to protecting the badger itself, makes it an offence to damage, destroy or obstruct badger setts. Badgers are also protected under Schedule 6 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), and listed under Appendix III of the Bern Convention, as a species that is in need of protection but may be hunted in exceptional instances. Only badger setts that are currently in use are covered by wildlife legislation.

Birds

All wild birds in the UK are protected under Section 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) which makes it an offence to intentionally kill, injure or take any wild bird or to take, damage or destroy the nest or its eggs.

Some bird species, such as the barn owl Tyto alba, are listed in Schedule 1 of the 1981 Act and receive further protection, making it an offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb these birds whilst building a nest or in, on or near a nest containing eggs or young; or to disturb dependent young of such a bird.

The NERC Act (2006) inserts a new schedule into the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) to protect the nests of some bird species that regularly re-use their nests, even when the nests are not in use. This protection currently applies to golden eagle, white-tailed eagle and osprey. Reptiles

All British reptiles are listed under schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and are therefore protected from intentional killing or injury. This is largely as a consequence of a national decline in numbers associated with habitat loss.

Two scarcer native British reptiles (smooth snake Coronella austriaca and sand lizard Lacerta agilis), are afforded ‘full’ protection. This legislation makes it an offence to intentionally or recklessly kill, injure, disturb, take, possess or sell these species (in all life stages). It is also illegal to damage, destroy or obstruct access to places they use for breeding, resting, shelter and protection.

All species of reptile are priority species in the UKBAP and have been adopted as Species of Principal Importance under Section 41 of the NERC Act (2006) in England (Section 42 in Wales).

Amphibians

Great crested newts (GCN’s) Triturus cristatus and their habitats are fully protected by the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2010) and partially protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). This legislation makes it an offence to kill, injure or capture GCN’s, their young or eggs, or destroy / damage their ponds or places of shelter used for breeding or protection. The great crested newt is also a Priority species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP), and had been adopted as a Species of Principle Importance in England under Section 41 of the NERC Act 2006.

The natterjack toad Epidalea calamita is fully protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and Schedule 2 of The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 making it a European Protected Species. The natterjack toad is also a priority species under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.

The pool frog Rana lessonae is protected under the Conservation (Natural Habitats &C.) Regulations 1994 (as amended). As a European protected species the deliberate capturing, disturbing, injuring or killing of this species is prohibited, as is damage or destruction of its breeding sites or resting places. The pool frog is also a priority species under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan due to a 100% decline over 25 years (1980-2005).

Common toads Bufo bufo are also designated UKBAP species due to a serious decline of populations across large areas of southern, eastern and central England, thought to be mainly due to changes in habitat management, mortalities on the roads, and climate change.

Dormice

Common dormice Muscardinus avellanarius and their habitats are fully protected by both the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2010). This legislation makes it an offence to kill, injure, disturb or capture dormice, or destroy or obstruct their resting or breeding places.

The dormouse is also a priority species under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan and has been adopted as a species of Principal Importance in England under Section 41 of the NERC Act 2006 (section 42 in Wales) and so is protected from any adverse effects as a result of development.

Otters

Otters Lutra lutra are protected by both the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010. This legislation makes it is illegal to; deliberately or recklessly kill, injure or capture an otter, deliberately or recklessly disturb or harass an otter, damage, destroy or obstruct access to a breeding site or resting place of an otter.

The otter is also a UK BAP Priority Species and has been adopted as a Species of Principal Importance in England under Section 41 of the NERC Act 2006 (Section 42 in Wales) and the Conservation (Scotland) Act in Scotland.

Water Voles

Water voles Arvicola terrestris are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). This legislation makes it an offence to kill or injure water voles, and to damage, destroy or obstruct access to places used for protection or shelter, and to disturb water voles whilst they occupy such a place.

The water vole is also a Priority species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, and had been adopted as a Species of Principle Importance in England under Section 41 of the NERC Act 2006.

White-clawed Crayfish

The white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes is protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), making it a criminal offence to; intentionally or recklessly kill or injure a white-clawed crayfish, or sell or attempt to sell any part of this species. The Habitats Regulations (2010) provide further protection through the declaration of Special Areas of Conservation (SAC). This protection aims to prevent commercial harvesting of white-clawed crayfish and prohibits their capture without a licence.

The white-clawed crayfish is also a Priority species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP), and has been adopted as a Species of Principal Importance in England under Section 41 of the NERC Act 2006.

Hedgehogs

Hedgehogs are UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) species, and therefore must be taken into consideration as part of development planning. A recent report (Wembridge, 2011) shows that hedgehog numbers have declined by 25% in the last ten years.

Confidential records HBIC holds a small number of records that are to be treated as confidential. Confidentiality can be for a variety of reasons and may relate to a whole site or only to specific species. These records may be withheld or released depending on the nature of the data request and in accordance with the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

Sensitive species A small number of species are considered as sensitive by the relevant specialist species recording groups and will be indicated as such on all lists. Species may be considered sensitive for a variety of reasons. Location details for these records will not disclosed unless the relevant species recording group has given their permission. Grid references will be altered to give a less precise position. Contact HBIC if further information is needed on these records.

Further notes • Records of species such as the Nationally Rare Box (Buxus sempervirens) may not appear on the list as there may be many records but their provenance is not known. • The location names, where shown, are the originals given by the recorders and may not match any formal name for the location or other colloquial names by which the location may also be known. • The grid references, where shown, are the originals given by the recorders and may indicate the specific location of the species, a central grid reference representing a larger survey area, or a grid square. • Where species have been deemed as ‘sensitive’ by the relevant specialist species recording group the location name will not be shown and the grid reference will have been altered to give a less precise position specified by the species recording group. • Many of the records have been supplied by specialist species recording groups. Whilst every reasonable effort is made to validate information supplied to the Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre the accuracy or comprehensiveness of this information cannot be guaranteed. • Records do not necessarily represent evidence of breeding at a site; please contact HBIC if further details are required for any of these records. • Whilst a species may have been recorded at a site, this does not indicate that the species is still present. Equally, the absence of a species from a site does not signify that it is absent, only that it has not been recorded, that the site has not been surveyed for this species, or that HBIC has not been informed of its presence. • Quantities of ‘0’ (zero) indicate that the species was ‘present’ but the number of individuals seen was not recorded. Negative quantities correspond to the DAFOR scale (plus very rare and ‘locally’ criteria) as follows: . -1 = Dominant (DAFOR) . -2 = Abundant (DAFOR) . -3 = Frequent (DAFOR) . -4 = Occasional (DAFOR) . -5 = Rare (DAFOR) . -6 = Very Rare . -21 = Locally Dominant . -22 = Locally Abundant . -23 = Locally Frequent • Negative quantities of ‘-7’ (minus seven) indicates that the species was ‘not found’. These records are not included in protected and notable species lists. • Max_Count values of ‘0’ (zero) indicate that none of the records had a positive quantity count and hence the highest count numerical value was ‘0’ (indicating ‘present’). Max_Count values of blank indicate that none of the records had a numerical count value and instead they all had frequency values (e.g. using the DAFOR scale).
