    Wildlife site resource map and species information for neighbourhood planning – Abbotskerswell June 2016 - 1 - Guidance notes: 1-Introduction Any development, from a loft conversion to a housing estate has the potential to affect wildlife. By wildlife we mean the whole range of plants and animals found in Devon (also referred to as biodiversity). Sites that are important for their geology can also be affected. With a Neighbourhood Plan, communities are able to establish general planning policies for the development and use of land in a neighbourhood. They will be able to say, for example, where new homes and offices should be built, and what they should look like. Neighbourhood Plans should take into account local need, housing targets identified by the local authority and the mitigation hierarchy. This is important, as where the local authority says that an area needs to grow, then communities can use neighbourhood planning to influence the type, design, location and mix of new development. They cannot however use neighbourhood planning to block the building of new homes and businesses. The information below is provided to assist you in designing a neighbourhood plan, however the information DBRC holds on biodiversity can be enhanced by additional survey or species recording within the area and you may want to consider how more information could be gathered by the community. For further information on how to record biodiversity where you live, go to http://www.dbrc.org.uk 2.1 Sites important for wildlife There are several designations that cover sites of wildlife and geological value in Devon. These include sites with international and national statutory designation and local non- statutory designation and are shown on your map.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.

  • Maritime Cliffs and Slopes Habitat Action Plan (Revised)
    Maritime Cliffs and Slopes Habitat Action Plan (Revised) Isle of Wight Biodiversity Action Plan Maritime Cliffs and Slopes Habitat Action Plan Second Review December 2007 1 Introduction Maritime cliffs and slopes have been identified as a priority habitat in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. They comprise sloping to vertical surfaces on the coastline where a break of slope is formed by slippage and/or coastal erosion. There appears to be no generally accepted definition of the minimum height or angle of slope which constitutes a cliff, but the zone defined as cliff top should extend landward to at least the limit of maritime influence (i.e. limit of salt spray deposition). On the seaward side, the plan extends to the limit of the supralittoral zone and so includes the splash zone lichens and other species of this habitat. They can broadly be classified as hard cliffs or soft cliffs, though there are intermediate types. Hard cliffs are vertical or steeply sloping, with crevices or ledges where plants can establish themselves and birds can find nest sites. They are formed of rocks which are relatively resistant to weathering, such as chalk. Soft cliffs are formed in less resistant rocks such as shales or in unconsolidated materials such as boulder clay. They are characterised by less steep slopes that gradually become vegetated. They are subject to frequent slumping and landslips, particularly where water percolates into the rock and reduces its effective shear strength. Most cliffs form at the junction of land and sea, where groundwater-driven land slippage and/or erosion by the sea have created a break in slope, but on the Isle of Wight there is also an extensive landslip zone between St Catherine’s Point and Bonchurch which has an inner cliff 500m inland rising to 140m above sea level.

  • Lepidoptera Recorded at the RSPB's Arne Nature Reserve, Wareham, Dorset 1970 - 95
    Lepidoptera recorded at the RSPB's Arne Nature Reserve, Wareham, Dorset 1970 - 95 Bryan P Pickess & C James Cadbury January 2008 Reserves Ecology, RSPB, The Lodge, Sandy, Bedfordshire SG19 2DL wpo/dptshare/James Cadbury/Lepidoptera of a Dorset Heathland LEPIDOPTERA RECORDED AT THE RSPB'S ARNE NATURE RESERVE, WAREHAM, DORSET, 1970 – 95. By Bryan P. Pickess, 8 Shaw Drive, Sandford, Wareham, Dorset BH20 5BT C. James Cadbury, 93 Barton Road, Cambridge, CB3 9LL Summary This paper presents the results of Lepidoptera recording at the RSPB's Arne Nature Reserve, on the Purbeck Heaths of southeast Dorset, during the years 1970 – 1995. Most of the records resulted from moth trapping using a variety of lights close to the hamlet of Arne by Bryan Pickess, but sightings of butterflies and day-flying moths are included. Lowland heathland is the predominant habitat of the 501 ha reserve. A total of 34 butterfly species, 430 'macro'-moths and 366 'micros' have been recorded at Arne. They include 10 Red Data and 34 Nationally Notable 'macro'-moths. Among the 'micros' are eight potential Red Data and 27 Nationally Notable species. Of particular conservation importance among the resident heathland species are the Dingy Mocha Cyclophora pendularia, Large Bagworm Pachythelia villosella, (a psychid,) and the plume Buckleria paludum, (Small Grass Emerald Chlorissa viridata, Bordered Grey Selidosema brunnearia Ringed Carpet Cleora cinctari). The BAP Priority Silver-studded Blue Plebeius argus (a Biodiversity Acha Plan Priority Species) has many colonies on the damper heathland. The Horse Chestnut Pachycnemia hippocastanaria (Nb) can be one of the most abundant moths on the heathland.

  • Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR23 P (Capel-Le-Ferne and Folkestone Warren East)
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR23 P (Capel-le-Ferne and Folkestone Warren East) The cliff-top provides an excellent vantage point for monitoring visual migration and has been well-watched by Dale Gibson, Ian Roberts and others since 1991. The first promontory to the east of the Cliff-top Café is easily accessible and affords fantastic views along the cliffs and over the Warren. The elevated postion can enable eye-level views of arriving raptors which often use air currents over the Warren to gain height before continuing inland. A Rough-legged Buzzard, three Black Kites, three Montagu’s Harriers and numerous Honey Buzzards, Red Kites, Marsh Harriers and Ospreys have been recorded. It is also perfect for watching arriving swifts and hirundines which may pause to feed over the Warren. Alpine Swift has occurred on three occasions and no less than nine Red- rumped Swallows have been logged here. Looking west from near the Cliff-top Café towards Copt Point and Folkestone Looking east from near the Cliff-top Café towards Abbotscliffe The Warren below the Cliff-top Café Looking west from the bottom of the zigzag path Visual passage will also comprise Sky Larks, Starlings, thrushes, wagtails, pipits, finches and buntings in season, whilst scarcities have included Tawny Pipit, Golden Oriole, Serin, Hawfinch and Snow Bunting. Other oddities have included Purple Heron, Short-eared Owl, Little Ringed Plover, Ruff and Ring-necked Parakeet, whilst in June 1992 a Common Rosefinch was seen on the cliff edge. Below the Cliff-top Café there is a zigzag path leading down into the Warren.
