(2013). Results from the June 2013 driving transects across the Thames Basin Heaths SPA. Footprint Ecology. 3 Results from 2013 driving transects across the Thames Basin Heaths SPA Summary Car parking provision across the SPA Across the SPA 160 car parking areas were identified with a space for an estimated 2,118 parked vehicles. Three parking areas had been closed since the last count and two previously unmapped parking areas were identified. Car park transects Three weekday and three weekend driving transects were conducted counting all parked vehicles in the 161 car parking areas over a 2 hour time window. In total 3,164 parked vehicles were recorded with an average of 527 per count. Significantly more vehicles were recorded on the weekend (1,881) compared to the weekday (1,283) counts. There was a significant relationship between the capacity of a car park and the number of parked vehicles. In total 8 commercial dog walking vans were observed parked adjacent to SPA access points and 79 parked vehicles had bike racks. Estimation of visitors from car park transect data The car park transect data were scaled up using the mean vehicle occupancy value calculated from the face to face visitor work in 2012 (Fearnley & Liley 2012). We estimate the car park transect data captures visitor information from 5,219 people and their 3,179 dogs.

  • Appendix 4: Thames Basin Heaths Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements
    Biodiversity Opportunity Areas: the basis for realising Surrey’s ecological network Appendix 4: Thames Basin Heaths Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements TBH01: Chobham Common North & Wentworth Heaths TBH02: Chobham South Heaths TBH03: Colony Bog, Bagshot Heath & Deepcut Heaths TBH04: Ash, Brookwood & Whitmoor Heaths TBH05: Woking Heaths TBH06: Wisley, Ockham & Walton Heaths TBH07: Camberley & Broadmoor Heaths September 2019 Investing in our County’s future Surrey Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statement Biodiversity Opportunity Area TBH01: Chobham Common North & Wentworth Heaths Local authorities: Surrey Heath, Runnymede Aim & justification: The aim of Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs) is to establish a strategic framework for conserving and enhancing biodiversity at a landscape scale, making our wildlife more robust to changing climate and socio-economic pressures. BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Realising BOA aims will contribute to UK commitments to halt biodiversity declines, and their recognition directly meets current National Planning Policy Framework policy to plan strategically for the enhancement of the natural environment; to be achieved by providing net gains for biodiversity and establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 170). Designation of BOAs also fulfils NPPF requirements to identify, map and safeguard components of wider ecological networks, and areas identified for habitat management, enhancement, restoration or creation (para. 174). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.
