These assessments use a purpose-designed methodology (Gwent Ecology 2010) based upon the JNCC Phase 1 habitat survey method (JNCC 2003), modified to gather additional information in relation to notable species and habitats. The survey and reporting methods were designed by MCC in conjunction with Gwent Wildlife Trust (GWT) (Gwent Ecology 2010) to provide an evidence base of ecological data to inform the preparation, appraisal and examination of the Local Development Plan by MCC. 1.2 The survey and site reports establish the ecological value of the proposed LDP sites, principally based on botanical survey and assessment of existing data provided by the South East Wales Biological Records Centre (SEWBReC). The survey and reports also consider potential protected or Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP including local and national) species that may be present, for example otter, dormouse, great crested newt and horseshoe bats. 1.3 Sites were also assessed for their potential to qualify as Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) using the Guidelines for the Selection of Wildlife Sites in South Wales (SWWP 2004) and subsequent updates produced by MCC and GWT (GWT 2009). 1.4 Finally the application of the evaluation methodology along with the information gathered during the desk and field surveys was discussed with MCC on 16th May 2012 before the production of this report, to ensure that the evaluation of the Alternative Sites is consistent with the previous work conducted by Gwent Ecology and BSG Ecology. 2 19/09/2012 Monmouthshire LDP 2 Methodology Desk Study 2.1 Each site was subject to a desk-based assessment using historical records, existing protected sites data and aerial photographs, as listed below. Information regarding records of protected and national and local BAP species was obtained from SEWBReC for a 500m buffer surrounding each site. These were supplied and copied onto the Site Report forms (See Appendix 1) supplied by MCC to inform the site surveys. 2.2 Desk-based assessments for sites used the following sources of information: Local Wildlife Site/SINC GIS data provided by MCC. Protected species search within 500m of each site from SEWBReC. Protected site search within 500m of each site from SEWBReC. Aerial Photos: web based images. SINC GIS layer provided by MCC. Field Survey 2.3 Thirty sites identified as Alternative Sites by MCC were subject to Phase 1 Habitat Survey following the JNCC methodology (JNCC 2003). The surveys were undertaken by Anna Gundrey and Stephanie Boocock during April 2012. The survey methodology was extended in the field to gather appropriate information as follows: Habitats present and features of apparent nature conservation interest. Presence of protected or BAP species and habitat that may support such species. Potential each site to qualify as SINC. Hedgerows - condition and length. Veteran trees - presence of mature trees. Present land use (where discernible). Consideration of all hedgerows in the context of the Hedgerow Regulations. Potential requirement for further ecological survey should development take place. Land use of adjacent areas. 2.4 Data were recorded in the field onto paper site maps and then onto a copy of the Site Report Form along with the desk study information. Biodiversity Assessment and Evaluation Criteria 2.5 Using the results of the desk-based survey and field assessments, an evaluation of the ecological status of the site was made using classifications of High, Medium or Low value. Where present, species or habitat features that should be retained or protected by way of their legal or otherwise notable status were identified. Further surveys, constraint and enhancement issues were also defined for each site. 2.6 Sites were evaluated as High, Medium or Low using the following qualifying criteria that were established by MCC and Gwent Ecology (Gwent Ecology 2010) based on the Ratcliffe Criteria and Local Wildlife Site guidelines SWWP 2004). International designated sites were not included in the criteria, so for the purposes of this assessment, SACs have been treated as for SSSIs. No SPAs or Ramsar sites are affected. 3 19/09/2012 Monmouthshire LDP 2.7 The following is taken from Gwent Ecology 2010. 2.8 HIGH (Red) Site already designated as SSSI/LWS/ANSW. Site assessed and of Local Wildlife Site quality. Protected species recorded on site. Site of great value for connecting semi-natural habitats in the landscape. 2.9 MEDIUM (Orange) Site close to Local Wildlife Site but threshold for designation not reached, based on the limited data that could be gathered through this survey contract. Presence of UKBAP habitat. Local Wildlife Site present within site of lower biodiversity value. Veteran mature tree/s present. Important hedgerow/s present. Possible chance of protected species on site or very near to site. Site adjacent to a SSSI/LWS/ANSW. Site of value for connecting semi-natural habitats in the landscape. 2.10 LOW (Green) Site assessed as not of Local Wildlife Site quality. Limited or no features of biodiversity interest. No protected species on or near site. Site not near any protected sites/ANSW. Site of very limited current value for connecting semi-natural habitats in the landscape. SINC Designation 2.11 All sites were assessed against the criteria in the Guidelines for the Selection of Wildlife Sites in South East Wales (SWWP 2004) including the revised SINC guidelines established for Monmouthshire. Recommendations for SINC designation were based on the presence of qualifying habitats or species established during the desk and field survey. Data Capture and Transfer to Geographical Information System 2.12 Following the existing format for spatial data provided by MCC, data gathered in the field was input to GIS using ArcMap to produce three maps as described below: Map 1: Phase 1 survey. Map 2: Biodiversity Features Layer - detailed mapping of areas of importance for biodiversity.

  • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Wales Guidance (Pdf)
    Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Foreword The Welsh Assembly Government’s Environment Strategy for Wales, published in May 2006, pays tribute to the intrinsic value of biodiversity – ‘the variety of life on earth’. The Strategy acknowledges the role biodiversity plays, not only in many natural processes, but also in the direct and indirect economic, social, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits that we derive from it. The Strategy also acknowledges that pressures brought about by our own actions and by other factors, such as climate change, have resulted in damage to the biodiversity of Wales and calls for a halt to this loss and for the implementation of measures to bring about a recovery. Local Wildlife Sites provide essential support between and around our internationally and nationally designated nature sites and thus aid our efforts to build a more resilient network for nature in Wales. The Wildlife Sites Guidance derives from the shared knowledge and experience of people and organisations throughout Wales and beyond and provides a common point of reference for the most effective selection of Local Wildlife Sites. I am grateful to the Wales Biodiversity Partnership for developing the Wildlife Sites Guidance. The contribution and co-operation of organisations and individuals across Wales are vital to achieving our biodiversity targets. I hope that you will find the Wildlife Sites Guidance a useful tool in the battle against biodiversity loss and that you will ensure that it is used to its full potential in order to derive maximum benefit for the vitally important and valuable nature in Wales.

    Monmouthshire Meadows Issue 16 Registered Charity No.1111345 Spring 2012 Our aims are to conserve and enhance the landscape by enabling members to maintain, manage and restore their semi-natural grasslands and associated features Trevor Evans receives an MBE The MMG Committee is delighted that our President, Trevor Evans, was mentioned in the New Year Honours list. He received a well-deserved M.B.E. for services to wildlife conservation. For 40 years Trevor has been Monmouthshire vice-county recorder (vice-county 35 is similar to the old county of Gwent with a few minor differences) for the Botanical Society of the British Isles and in his early 80’s he wrote the much acclaimed Flora of Monmouthshire. That book is a ‘must’ for anyone interested in plants in their local patch. His knowledge of the county and its plants is second to none, having lived most of his life in Chepstow where he taught for many years at the secondary school. Congratulations Trevor! Photo: Ann Robinson From the Chair The grant from Environment Wales for travel costs involved in survey work and for a bilingual report of our surveys on members’ land has kept us busy. During the late summer Glynis Laws, Maggie Biss, Sheelagh Kerry and I carried out surveys and entered all these as well as more historical data dating back as far as 2003 onto a database. Analysis of these data formed the basis for the Environment Wales report, a copy of which now on the website. Highlights of the surveys are coming across ‘new’ species-rich meadows and pastures.
