Report Date Completed by: Checked by: Approved by: Version Anna Evans MSc Ellie Rickman MSc Dr. Philip Fermor CEnv, Final 05/05/2017 (Ecological Project ACIEEM (Senior MCIEEM (Managing Officer) Ecological Consultant) Director) The information which we have prepared is true, and has been prepared and provided in accordance with the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management’s Code of Professional Conduct. We confirm that the opinions expressed are our true and professional bona fide opinions. DISCLAIMER The contents of this report are the responsibility of Middlemarch Environmental Ltd. It should be noted that, whilst every effort is made to meet the client’s brief, no site investigation can ensure complete assessment or prediction of the natural environment. Middlemarch Environmental Ltd accepts no responsibility or liability for any use that is made of this document other than by the client for the purposes for which it was originally commissioned and prepared. VALIDITY OF DATA The findings of this study are valid for a period of 24 months from the date of survey. If works have not commenced by this date, an updated site visit should be carried out by a suitably qualified ecologist to assess any changes in the habitats present on site, and to inform a review of the conclusions and recommendations made. Middlemarch Environmental Ltd. Page 2 Wood Eaton Sewage Treatment Works, Staffordshire RT-MME-119066-52 Preliminary Ecological Appraisal NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Middlemarch Environmental Ltd was commissioned by MWH Global to carry out an ecological appraisal at the site of a proposed development at Wood Eaton Sewage Treatment Works near Gnosall in Staffordshire. To fulfil this brief an ecological desk study and a Phase 1 Habitat Survey were undertaken. The ecological desk study identified one European Statutory Site, one UK Statutory Site, SSSI Impact Risk Zones and three non-statutory sites within the search area. Precautionary consultation is recommended for one of the non-statutory sites. The desk study also identified records of bats, birds, otter, brown hare, butterflies and notable plants. The Phase 1 Habitat Survey was undertaken on 10th April 2017 by Charlotte Richardson, Ecological Consultant. This found the site to be dominated by the buildings and structures of the sewage treatment works in the north, which are surrounded by areas of amenity grassland and hardstanding with a small area of ephemeral/short-perennial vegetation. To the west, south and east of the site are areas of rough improved grassland with pockets of tall ruderal vegetation and scrub, whilst a hedgerow is present along the western boundary. Areas of scrub are also present along the northern and eastern boundaries. The key ecological features on site are the presence of an invasive species (Himalayan balsam) and the potential presence of terrestrial mammals, herpetofauna, otter and water vole. In order to ensure compliance with wildlife legislation and relevant planning policy, the following recommendations are made: R1 Reulemill Covert LWS: The Local Planning Authority ecologist and / or the local Wildlife Trust should be consulted prior to any works commencing to ensure that the proposed works will not adversely impact upon the site. R2 Habitat Loss and Restoration: Where habitats may be temporarily affected by the proposed works, it is recommended that appropriate measures are taken to restore these habitats post-construction in order to maintain the biodiversity value of the site. R3 Terrestrial Mammals (including Fox and Hedgehog): Any excavations that need to be left overnight should be covered or fitted with mammal ramps to ensure that any animals that enter can safely escape. Any open pipework with an outside diameter of greater than 120 mm must be covered at the end of each work day to prevent animals entering/becoming trapped. R4 Herpetofauna: The improved grassland at the location of the potential extension of the turning circle should be maintained with a short sward. If this is not possible then any strimming or stripping of the grassland should be undertaken under the supervision of an experienced ecologist as a precaution to prevent harm to common reptiles or amphibians. The following precautionary recommendations are also made: R5 Otter and Water Vole: Should the works alter to come within 8 metres of the brook just outside the eastern boundary of the survey area, surveys for otter and water vole should be undertaken. Water vole surveys can be completed between March and October inclusive. Otter surveys can be undertaken at any time of year. R6 Himalayan Balsam: The works must not cause the Himalayan balsam present on site to spread in the wild. If removal is required, this must be undertaken with care. Middlemarch Environmental Ltd.

Key Issues from the Annual Monitoring Report 2012/13: During the period 1st April 2012 to 31st March 2013 progress was made preparing the new Local Plan, with consultation on the Plan for Stafford Borough-Publication and the Planning Strategy Statement. The weak local economic situation is still having a residual effect on the levels of house completions across the Borough. However the higher level of completions in the current year is evidence that market confidence is beginning to return and there is greater access to mortgage finance The Government formally abolished the West Midlands regional Spatial Strategy in May 2012.

It was, of course, our 50 th anniversary as the leading conservation organisation in the county and we celebrated that milestone with events and activities throughout the year. We were pleased to open two new reserves, at Gun Moor near Leek and at Tucklesholme in the Trent Valley, the latter to coincide with the launch of our multi-million pound Living Landscape programme Transforming the Trent Valley. The completion of the new-look Wolseley Centre was marked by an official opening in June, and the new facilities have proved very popular with visitors since then. Work on the new education hub continued apace in order to be open for the spring of 2020. We also opened a further charity shop in Penkridge and plans for another at Birches Bridge, Codsall were well advanced by the year end.
