Natural England Pollution Risk Assessment & Source Apportionment: River Mease Catchment Natural England Pollution Risk Assessment & Source Apportionment: River Mease Catchment Natural England Pollution Risk Assessment RIVER MEASE CATCHMENT APRIL 2015 © Natural England 2015 1 Natural England Pollution Risk Assessment & Source Apportionment: River Mease Catchment BLANK PAGE 2 Natural England Pollution Risk Assessment & Source Apportionment: River Mease Catchment Natural England has engaged Westcountry Rivers Limited (the commercial arm of Westcountry Rivers Trust) to develop a method for catchment-wide pollution risk and source apportionment assessments. In addition, The Rivers Trust has been commissioned to facilitate the integration and dissemination of this work with Catchment Based Approach Partnerships. Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) was developed as a framework for improving water quality by Defra 2009. After a successful pilot phase in 2011 actions were made for the wider adoption and national roll out of CaBA from 2013. As rivers trusts now represent catchments across a large part of England and Wales, with new ones continually forming, they are responsible partner hosts for the majority of local CaBA initiatives around the United Kingdom. Key objectives of CaBA are to deliver positive and sustained outcomes for the water environment by promoting a better understanding of the environment at a local level; and to encourage local collaboration and more transparent decision-making when both planning and delivering activities to improve the water environment. The Catchment Based Approach is about much more than just complying with the Water Framework Directive. It allows local communities, businesses, organisations and other stakeholders to come together to undertake actions or develop projects which incorporate local priorities such as flood risk management, fisheries and biodiversity. The Catchment Based Approach will see issues being identified and tackled at a much more local level, giving key stakeholders and local communities the opportunity to get involved. “The introduction of the CaBA signifies a major change to land and water management. It is a key step in the right direction, but fulfilling its potential will take determination, imagination and thoughtful audit and review” (CIWEM, 2013). 3 Natural England Pollution Risk Assessment & Source Apportionment: River Mease Catchment The Rivers Trust (a company limited by guarantee and granted registered charity, 2004) provides a logical extension for the increasing level of liaison that had taken place for some time between established rivers trusts. The main aims of The Rivers Trust are, “to co-ordinate, represent and develop the aims and interests of the member Trusts in the promotion of sustainable, holistic and integrated catchment management and sound environmental practices, recognising the wider economic benefits for local communities and the value of education.” Westcountry Rivers Ltd is the commercial trading subsidiary of the Westcountry Rivers Trust (charity no. 1135007 company no 06545646). All profits generated through the consultancy are covenanted to the Trust to help secure the preservation, protection, development and improvement of the rivers, streams, watercourses and water impoundments in the Westcountry and to advance the education of the public in the management of water.

The River Mease is designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the EU Habitats Directive, and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) under the Wildlife and Countryside Act. The River Mease which is referred to in this report includes both the designated section of the River Mease and the lower section of Gilwiskaw Brook. The River Mease SAC/ SSSI has been identified as failing to meet its water quality targets due, at least in part, to diffuse water pollution pressures. Phosphorus and sediment have been identified as the main diffuse water quality issue for the ecological health of the Mease SSSI/ SAC. Current annual mean Soluble Reactive Phosphorus (SRP) concentrations are more than double the water quality target for the Mease SSSI/ SAC at all monitoring locations and up to ten times higher than the water quality target at some monitoring locations. At a catchment scale, sources SRP are equally important from combined non-agricultural sources, including urban run-off and Sewage Treatment Works (STWs) discharges, and combined sources from arable and livestock agriculture. The main source of sediment is from agriculture; natural erosion is a minor source. Water quality monitoring, and therefore SSSI condition assessments and Water Framework Directive (WFD) status, results suggest that water quality problems are widespread throughout the catchment for SRP and sediment. However, the monitoring data has limited spatial and temporal coverage. It is possible that more targeted monitoring would support the more spatially varied pattern of risk identified by the modelling and characterisation data discussed below. Catchment management approaches have the potential to deliver significant improvements in SRP at a catchment scale, but FARMSCOPER modelling suggests improvements will not improve water quality sufficiently to achieve the water quality targets for the Mease SSSI/ SAC. Therefore, additional emphasis needs to be on the reduction of SRP from non-agricultural sources, most notably urban run-off, if conservation targets for SRP are likely to be met. It should be noted that the findings stated above originate from the SAGIS model used in this report. Some recommendations have been made within the report to improve understanding, particularly with regards to STW discharges to improve and review the SAGIS model for the Mease catchment. Measures to reduce SRP losses from point sources should be focused in the Gilwiskaw Brook sub- catchment,

  • River Mease SAC Developer Contribution Scheme 2 Appendix
    Appendix 1: Measures to be funded through the Developer Contributions Scheme 2 (DCS2) FINAL VERSION (June 2016) The need for DCS2 has been identified in response to the development allocations within the North West Leicestershire District Council Local Plan, which is currently being finalised. The Local Plan was subject to assessment under the Habitats Regulations1 and the Developer Contribution Scheme was identified as a key mechanism to provide NWLDC with the necessary confidence that development allocated within the catchment of the river will not be likely to have a significant effect on the River Mease SAC. The HRA of the Local Plan identified the need for DCS2 to deliver mitigation to facilitate the delivery of 1826 dwellings. On the basis of the estimated P loadings to the river from receiving works provided in E&F of DCS2, an estimate of phosphate contributions from these dwellings represents an increased loading of 329g P/day. Of critical importance to the development of DCS2, is an agreement which has been reached since the development and implementation of DCS1. Following recent discussions between Natural England, the Environment Agency and Severn Trent Water, the following statement has been issued. Severn Trent, Environment Agency and Natural England have assessed the options to meet the SAC conservation objectives in relation to flow and phosphate, and agree that pumping sewage effluent from Packington and Measham sewage works out of the Mease catchment is the most effective long term solution. The primary reason to move flow out of the River Mease catchment would be to ensure the SAC flow targets are met.

  • HS2 and Appleby Magna Response by Appleby Magna Parish Council to the Draft Environmental Statement – December 2018
    Appleby Magna Parish Council - Response to HS2 HS2 and Appleby Magna Response by Appleby Magna Parish Council to the Draft Environmental Statement – December 2018 1. Appleby Magna and Parva – characteristics and facilities HS2’s Draft Environmental Statement provides accounts of Appleby’s characteristics and facilities in a number of sections. The Parish Council has identified omissions, inaccuracies and limitations. Rather than detail these section by section we would like to start with our own description of Appleby Parish. Appleby Parish Map As can be seen from the map left the parish of Appleby includes both the village of Appleby Magna and the hamlet of Appleby Parva. The parish runs to the outskirts of Measham (at Birds Hill) and Snarestone village. It is primarily a rural parish, including a number of farms. The M42 runs through the West of the parish. Housing in Appleby Parva is primarily on, or close to, the A444 towards Nuneaton. However, Appleby Magna is unusual in being close to, but not located on, any major road. This is important for its sense of place. The Appleby Magna and Appleby Parva Village Design Statement (which was the result of extensive public consultation and participation and became adopted as supplementary planning guidance) identified four elements of village character which development should seek to conserve: community spirit, rural nature, heritage, and quality and diversity of design (guideline 1). The minor village roads connecting the village to the major road network also attract significant numbers of cyclists and horse riders. Appleby Magna has been subject to significant housing growth in the last couple of years.

  • River Mease Catchment Partnership Workshop
    River Mease Catchment Partnership Workshop Tuesday 4th July 2017 Netherseal Sports Club Workshop Report Facilitated by Trent Rivers Trust, catchment hosts for the River Mease catchment. 1 Background As part of the ‘Catchment Based Approach’, a workshop was organised for stakeholders within the catchment area of the River Mease. Thirty-six people attended from twenty-two organisations. Representatives attended from a range of interests including farmers, landowners, community groups, special interest groups, NGO’s, Highways England, Severn Trent, Environment Agency and Natural England. The River Mease is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) for its populations of fish and aquatic plant life. The SSSI/SAC condition is currently classified by Natural England as ‘unfavourable no change’. This is due to a range of issues including drainage works, diffuse pollution and lack of habitat and species diversity. There are a number of actions required to bring the SSSI into a good condition. There is currently a lot of activity taking place across the catchment, examples are Catchment Sensitive Farming, a developer contribution scheme and a restoration strategy. Objectives of the workshop: • Bring partners and stakeholders together. • Raise awareness of existing initiatives and projects. • Agree a framework to coordinate policy and future action in the Mease catchment. The day was organised into the following sections 1) Mapping of current and future activity Participants were asked to mark-up paper maps on the tables showing the location of projects or activity they were aware of within the Mease catchment. Each project listed was marked as either ‘complete, current or proposed’ with details of the nature of the project and a contact name.
