Amanda,

Whilst I noted that the Inspector had no questions for me as the promoters planning agent, he did ask the council a couple of questions and I am able to assist as follows:

1. Ecology: We have undertaken two separate reports, one in 2015 and another (attached in 2017) which confirms no ecological constraints that might have a significant impact on the development of the site.

2. Ground conditions: The old Kingswood Colliery was within and to the west of the existing travellers site and from our initial enquiries of the Coal Authority and old maps, we are not aware of any shafts on the site. That doesn’t mean there are no mining legacy, but we are confident that a development along the lines indicated on the attached masterplan is feasible.

3. Education and associated travel movements: Whilst other allocations might generate traffic as parents drop children at the primary school, Site 139 is almost adjacent to it and within convenient walking distance. In this respect it is highly sustainable.

I trust the above will assist the Inspector in relation to the queries he raised.

Kind regards.

1 Executive summary

1.1 Leigh Ecology Ltd was commissioned to undertake an Ecological Appraisal of a series of fields on land north of Pool view, Great Wyrley, . The survey was undertaken in May 2017.

1.2 The site has been identified for housing allocation by the local authority.

1.3 The proposal site is located adjacent to the north of a built environment and south of the A5 road. The site is small scale fields comprising semi improved and improved grassland, which are heavily grazed by horses.

1.4 The site has a limited floral diversity containing a mix of mature tree species scrub layers and ruderal vegetation.

1.5 The trees and hedgerows occurring on site suffer from horse browsing, which limits their capabilities to grow dense vegetation, which minimises their importance as a bird nesting and foraging habitat.

1.6 The trees bordering the site offer some bat roosting habitat as well as good commuting (linear features) and foraging habitats although the extent is limited due to the severance of street lighting in the wider landscape.

1.7 No sign of regular Badger activity or any other mammals were found on the site.

1.8 Small numbers of red/amber listed bird species were present, including singing Song thrush Turdus philomelos. However, with the trees remaining unaffected by the development, no further action is required. A large freshwater pool nearby, Bridgetown Subsidence Pool LNR, is important for breeding wildfowl and Common Tern, however will remain unaffected by the development.

1.9 Any vegetation clearance should be undertaken outside the bird-nesting season, March – August.

1.10 No ponds are apparent on the site, and therefore, no amphibian surveys will be necessary. However, the aforementioned pool may hold protected species, this is however isolated from the site and therefore unaffected.

1.11 Therefore, given its intensive use and the sites location between a major road and a built environment, it offers negligible ecological constraints to the future housing allocation plan.

2 Introduction

Background

2.1 Leigh Ecology Ltd was commissioned by Seabridge Developments Ltd to undertake an Ecological Appraisal of land identified for housing by the Local Authority at Pool View, Great Wyrley, (approx. National Grid Reference (NGR) SJ 990355); refer to redline boundary shown on Figure 2.1 below.

2.2 For development proposals requiring planning permission, the presence of protected species, and therefore the need of a survey, is a material planning consideration under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Adequate surveys are therefore required to establish the presence or absence of protected species, to enable a prediction of the likely impact of the proposed development on them and their breeding site or resting places and, if necessary, to design mitigation and compensation methods.

2.3 Sites of biodiversity conservation value, habitats and species in UK and Local Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPS) and protected species are material considerations in the planning process (Department for Communities and Local Government. 2012).

2.4 The study is documented in this report and includes the following: 1. Preliminary ecological baseline for the site; 2. Protected mammals assessment of the site; 3. Potential ecological constraints to the development of the site; and 4. Further ecological work necessary for a planning submission.

2.5 All Work was undertaken in accordance with the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management’s (CIEEM) Code of Practice.

3 Methodology

3.1 A preliminary understanding of the ecological baseline of the development site (hereafter referred to as ‘the site’) was derived through desk study and site survey.

Desk study

3.2 Information was also obtained from the following websites: • www.magic.gov.uk – information on protected sites up to 1 km from the site; • www.naturalengland.co.uk – information on protected sites and BAP priority habitats; and • www.nbn.org.uk – protected species distribution.

3.3 The UK BAP and Staffordshire BAPs were also reviewed.

Site survey 3.4 A site survey to inform the Ecological Appraisal was undertaken in M a y 2017 following Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) methodology (2010). This identified the habitat types on the site and the presence/absence of protected/notable species1. The results of the survey were detailed on a Phase 1 Habitat plan; refer to Appendix 1.

3.5 Water bodies within 250m of the site were also identified from Ordnance Survey (OS) maps and through aerial photography.

Bat Surveys

Trees External.

3.6 An external inspection of the trees on site was undertaken; the primary objective of the survey was to locate any signs of bat activity, for example:

• Bat droppings;

• Scratch marks;

• Feeding remains;

• Grease staining / urine marks;

3.7 As tree roosts are extremely difficult to locate, it is prudent to note all potential roost entrances, cracks, cavities, woodpecker holes, fissures, in order to undertake emergence surveys should there be an impact on the trees.

1 Notable species are those which hold a specific conservation status e.g. Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Species, IUCN Red Data Species etc. Some notable species may also be legally protected.

SD17/001 – Ecological Appraisal Report – Pool View, Great Wyrley. 7

Ecological Appraisal. Pool View, Great Wyrley.

3.8 It is clear however, given the age of some of the trees around the sites perimeter, that further work may be required to determine usage if said trees are to be affected.

Landscape Assessment

3.9 Bats use regular commuting and foraging routes; these are usually linear features such as hedgerows and watercourse corridors. The loss and severance of such a feature may have an indirect impact on the bats. Therefore, it is important that if the development impacts on these features, they are assessed.

Protected Mammal Surveys

3.10 The site hedgerows and linear features were checked for feeding signs, prints, trails, droppings, holes etc. for species including badger.

4 Results

Desk survey

Statutory Designations 4.1 No statutory designated sites (e.g. Special Protection Areas (SPA), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) or, Ramsar Sites) were identified within the proposed development site or within a 2km radius of the site boundary.

4.2 A Local Wildlife Site know as Bridgetown Subsidence Pools is located 60 meters to the west of the proposal site.

4.3 No protected species were recorded from the actual proposal site, the closest species to the site were historic records of common pipistrelle Bats Pipistellus pipistrellus, noctule bat Nyctalus noctula and Daubenton’s bat Myotis daubentonii and common tern Sterna hirundo which emanated from the pool from the west of the site.

Site survey

Habitats within the survey area 4.4 The location of the habitats within the survey area is shown in Appendix 1, Habitat descriptions are provided below; plant species are referred to using their English names.

4.5 The survey site covers the full extent of the land shown in Fig 2.1. A series of fields just north of Pool view, Great Wyrley, Staffordshire.

4.6 The proposal site itself is predominantly poor semi-improved grassland grazed by horses.

4.7 The site contains a number of deciduous trees mainly along the site boundaries, all to be retained post development.

4.8 The trees seem to be in good condition with little potential roost features.

4.9 The hedgerows dividing the fields are unmanaged and in a scrubby state, the hedgerows contain a number of mature trees including Oak Quercus robur, and Ash Fraximus excelsior.

4.10 Overall the proposed housing allocation site is of poor ecological value due to its fragmentation form core rich habitats and its proximity to major roads and built environment.

4.11 A map showing the habitat areas is presented in Appendix 1

Surrounding habitats

4.9 A large freshwater pool occurs to the west of the site, this is a Local Wildlife Site know as Bridgetown Subsidence Pools. It contains a numbers of different species of birds including common terns Sturnus hirundo, which seem to be breeding on rafts floating on the pool.

Protected and notable species

Invertebrates 4.10 As the proposal site has the potential to contain a number of flowering plant species, it is likely that butterflies, moths and bumblebees will frequent surrounding habitat, any replacement of scrub should therefore be sourced locally if possible and prioritising native species.

Amphibians

4.11 Great crested newts are protected by Schedule 2 of the Convention of Habitats and Species Regulations (2010) and Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981, as amended), which provide protection to both the individuals and the areas they use for rest, shelter or breeding. Great crested newts are also a UK BAP and LBAP priority species.

4.12 The Large pool locate 60m to the west provides some good marginal and aquatic vegetation which provides good habitat for amphibians. However, the pond contains a population of predatory fish species, therefore it is unlikely that the pond would contain a population of amphibians.

Reptiles

4.13 No reptiles were located during the site visit. However, some smaller areas of ruderal vegetation within southern facing glade habitat do occur on site, therefore, care is advised during the development.

Birds

4.14 The site provided suitable nesting and foraging habitat (e.g. shrubby broadleaved trees) for a range of bird species, including UK BAP and LBAP species.

4.15 Therefore care is advised and development to take place outside of the bird nesting season (March – September).

SD17/001 – Ecological Appraisal Report – Pool View, Great Wyrley. 16

Ecological Appraisal. Pool View, Great Wyrley.

Bats

4.16 The majority of the trees within the proposed site are fully mature but were found to provide low bat roosting potential, i.e. they possessed little in the way of features suitable for roosting bats such as rot-holes, fissures, cracks and hollows.

4.17 In general, the proposal site and the adjacent trees are likely to support an abundance of invertebrates and therefore provide some foraging and commuting potential for bats.

Badgers

4.18 No worn trails or other signs of badger activity were located on the site.

Other mammals

4.19 The proposed site also provided suitable habitat for hedgehog, and for other mammal species such as fox Vulpes vulpes, rabbit Lepus curpaeums and small mammals such as voles and mice.

4.20 A small number of active rabbit holes were along the hedge lines.

5 Constraints and Recommendations

5.1 Construction and post construction impacts of a proposed local authority allocation site are possible upon both the habitats and species within and immediately adjacent to the site. Ecological constraints and recommendations with regard to any development of the site are discussed below.

Designated sites

5.2 The proposed housing allocation site does not lie within or adjacent to any statutory or non-statutory designated sites.

5.3 Bridgetown Subsidence Pool Local Nature Reserve lies 60m north west of the proposed housing allocation site.

5.4 It is unlikely that the proposed housing allocation site will have a direct impact on the non-statutory site; however, during the construction phase the developer should ensure that measures are put in place to ensure that no contaminants enter the watercourses that feed in to the pool.

Habitats 5.5 The boundary fences and hedgerows bordering the site can be considered as possessing some low ecological value. Scrub and trees to be retained where possible.

5.6 The vast majority of the site is low quality horse grazed pasture with little ecological benefit.

5.7 Given that no detailed proposal is available as reference, it is acknowledged that some trees maybe lost as a consequence of the proposed development; therefore, provision of new native trees should be incorporated within the landscape plan.

5.8 The onsite landscape proposals should include the retention and enhancement of current linear features. Any proposed planting should use locally sourced native species, which offer food resources for wildlife. Promotion and retention of habitat linkage should be of primary consideration.

5.9 Trees retained on site should be protected through the site clearance and construction phases.

5.10 This should be achieved by erecting temporary fencing around a standard root protection zone and maintaining it throughout the period of the works in accordance with BS 5837: 2012 ‘Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction’.

SD17/001 – Ecological Appraisal Report – Pool View, Great Wyrley. 18

Ecological Appraisal. Pool View, Great Wyrley.

5.11 There is little potential for some of the habitats on proposed local housing allocation site to support protected species; this is discussed below.

Protected species

Birds

5.12 Nesting birds are protected under The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (and amendments) and it would be an offence to damage or destroy a nest or otherwise disturb a nesting bird.

5.13 Because of the possible presence of nesting birds it is recommended that any necessary removal of vegetation takes place outside of the bird-breeding season (at least March to September).

5.14 Should this not be possible, a pre-works check by a qualified ecologist should be undertaken to ensure that nesting birds are absent.

5.15 Some compensation in order to mitigate the loss of habitat may be required; this should be located to ensure linkage to foraging habitat, such as planting of additional shrubs and trees within the proposed site and along boundaries.

5.16 Where the buildings are being added, it is asked that the developer consider incorporating bird (including Swift bricks) and bat boxes within the final building design, to mitigate for any loss. Swift bricks are undetectable when fronted with the same brickwork as the development.

Amphibians

5.17 No records on site and therefore impact negligible.

Bats 5.18 All bat roosts are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (and amendments) and The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010, which defines these animals as European Protected Species. An offence would be committed if roosts, whether occupied or not, were destroyed, damaged or obstructed, or if Bats themselves were harmed or disturbed.

5.19 The buildings within the site provide negligible opportunity for roosting bats.

5.20 Foraging habitat could be provided by the improving adjacent site boundaries for bats as navigational flight lines, which could potentially hold some importance for colonies of roosting bats that may be in close proximity to the site.

SD17/001 – Ecological Appraisal Report – Pool View, Great Wyrley. 19

Ecological Appraisal. Pool View, Great Wyrley.

Badger

5.21 No sign of any usage and therefore little impact.

Other Species

5.22 Other simple measures such as bug boxes and bee houses could also be incorporated within landscape design to provide a net gain for biodiversity.

5.23 Following the steady decline of the hedgehog Erinacaeus europaeus, possible gaps or holes in fences should be incorporated within the final landscape design, allowing free movement between gardens and the wider habitat.
