A full assessment will be provided once update surveys have been undertaken in 2021. This will clearly identify any ‘significant effects’ on important ecological features (including designated sites or protected species) and detail any mitigation and/or compensation measures that are required, and how these could be secured. This report outlines likely impacts and potential mitigation and compensation solutions. Description of Outline planning application for residential development of up to 90 proposed dwellings including public, open space and associated infrastructure, development including a new cycle path connecting to Edmunds Lane. Application to include access with all other matters reserved. Brief The proposed development site (hereafter referred to as the Application description of Site) is currently in use as a horse livery yard. The Application Site the Site comprises species-poor, semi-improved grassland bound by hedgerows and woodland with scattered trees. There are numerous buildings and areas of hardstanding within the centre of the Application Site. Designated The Application Site falls within 5km of Thames Basin Heaths SPA, nature therefore mitigation will be required in the form of contributions to a SANG conservation and SAMM, to prevent impacts on the designated site. The Application Site sites also falls within a SSSI Impact Risk Zone, which states that the LPA should consult Natural England for ‘any residential development with a total net gain in residential units’. Information to inform an Appropriate Assessment will be provided to demonstrate how impacts on Thames Basin Heaths SPA will be avoided. Potential mitigation options have been outlined within this report. Key habitats The most valuable habitats present within the Application Site comprise woodland, scattered mature trees and native species rich hedgerows with trees. Bull Brook runs adjacent to the western boundary of the Application Site. Key species The Application Site supports three bat roosts within two buildings: including a soprano pipistrelle maternity roost. Foraging and commuting bats use the habitats on-site and several trees have features suitable to support roosting bats. Nesting birds, including swallow, have been recorded within the outbuildings on-site and the hedgerows and trees offer good bird nesting and feeding opportunities. Key impacts • The removal of approximately 20m of the southern boundary hedgerow with trees and a small number of trees; • Demolition of the buildings that support bat roosts (including a maternity roost); and • Lighting impacts on retained hedgerows and woodland edge habitat during construction and operation, which could affect foraging/commuting routes of bats (including a maternity colony). ACD Environmental 1 Interim Ecological Impact Assessment Land at Brookfield Stables, Warfield Mitigation • Retention of the majority of the woodland and trees on-site with suitable RPA’s; • A sensitive lighting scheme to ensure dark corridors are retained around the development; • A 25m buffer between the development and the offsite Bull Brook; and • Implementation of precautionary measures of working, including seasonal restrictions and supervision of works by an ecologist where necessary. Compensation Creation of areas of species rich grassland within areas of open space and new tree planting throughout the development. Replacement roosting provision for bats will be incorporated into a number of buildings on-site. Full details will be outlined within the final EcIA and EPS licence application. Enhancements Integrated habitats for roosting bats, nesting birds and invertebrates will be incorporated into the design of the houses at a ratio of 1 box per property. Conclusions A full assessment of impacts will be carried out following completion of the surveys. The following surveys will be carried out in 2021: • Update bat emergence/ re-entry surveys of the buildings; • Ground level assessments for bats of trees likely to be impacted by the proposals both directly (e.g. felling) and indirectly (e.g. lighting); and • Climbing surveys/ endoscope inspections of trees for roosting bats. An EPS licence will be required to allow for the demolition of the buildings which support bat roosts. If required, EPS licences will be obtained for tree roosting bats. Information to inform an Appropriate Assessment will be provided to demonstrate how impacts on Thames Basin Heaths SPA will be avoided. Providing the measures outlined within this report are incorporated into the detailed scheme design and implemented, this development is capable of achieving a biodiversity net gain (11.36% habitat units and 40.25% hedgerow units), which has been demonstrated though the Defra Metric 2.0.

    Warfield Environment Group (WEG) AGM Minutes Wednesday 20th July 2016 8.00 pm at Claire Wallen's House Present: Sheila Collings, Mark Collings, Catalina Estrada, Adrian Haffegee, Annie Hill, Amanda Luffrum, Martyn Towle, David Calcutt, Claire Wallen & Richard Wallen Apologies: Dave French & Sara Watson 1. Review of the Chairs report looking back at the WEG activities and achievements over the last 12 months, detailed below: The Conservation / Rhododendron Clearance Days - Hayley Green Wood - Nov ‘15 & Jan ’16: - We had a much better uptake than previous conservation days at both events and we were able to clear a considerable amount of rhododendron bushes/trees and plant more trees, mostly Hazel, donated by The Woodland Trust. Tree Survey Events – Aug ‘15 & Apr ’16 & members measuring trees individually: - Collectively the group has surveyed and recorded 75 trees – many of them oaks but other notables including wild service tree, sweet chestnut and Wellingtonia. 2016 marks ‘Year of the Tree’ so Bracknell Forest Borough Council (BFBC) have been keen to promote and focus on trees in local urban areas of Bracknell. They are very happy with the tree surveys we have completed so far in Warfield. We discussed Frost Folly and Hogoak Lane as potential sites for future tree survey events. Newt Survey – May’16 – Thomas Lawrence Brickworks Newt Reserve: - We recorded 5 Great Crested Newts and 20 Smooth Newts. BBC Radio Berkshire attended the event. Adrian Haffegee received his Great Crested Newts Activities Licence this year which will enable him to run future newt survey events. More surveys planned at Thomas Lawrence Brickworks Newt Reserve and also Rachel’s Lake.

  • Vegetation Management Site Specification – Wokingham to Reading
    Wessex Route CP6 Year 1 - Vegetation Management Site Specification – Wokingham to Reading 1. Site of Work Wokingham Station to Reading Station 2. Vegetation Management Overview The line of route between Wokingham and Reading is generally a heavily wooded urban area, which narrows in places and runs through a series of cuttings and embankments. Management of lineside vegetation between Wokingham and Reading has been overlooked in recent years and as a result, this route now tops Network Rail Wessex’s priority list for vegetation management. Lineside vegetation along this route is to be managed in order to prevent it causing obstruction and damage to either the rail network or to our lineside neighbours. In considering the work required, several criteria have been considered: • All lines of route must have a safe cess (walkway) for staff who are required to walk along the lineside to carry out their duties. A minimum 7 metre wide cut-back of vegetation has been specified in order to maintain a 6 metre wide vegetation-free corridor either side of the outermost rails. • Embankments supporting the railway tracks generally need vegetation to be retained at the bottom third of their slope in order to maintain stability at the toe of the embankment. In certain circumstances all vegetation is removed to allow for retaining structures to be installed. Where vegetation has the potential to cause an issue to Network Rail’s lineside neighbours it is to be removed. • There are several cutting slopes (where the railway is lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain) on the Wokingham to Reading route.

  • Jealott's Hill, Warfield Technical Summary
    JEALOTT’S HILL, WARFIELD TECHNICAL SUMMARY/OVERVIEW NOTE ON ECOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES Executive Summary Development at the Jealott’s Hill site offers the opportunity to create extensive areas of new species and wildflower-rich mesotrophic grassland, through the reversion of arable land and through the diversification of existing improved grassland currently in agricultural use. Small patches of existing more diverse semi-improved grassland around the current research campus buildings could also form the basis of a significant project to create or restore new areas of ‘lowland meadow’ priority habitat; either through their retention and positive management in situ to promote enhancement, or through the use of the soil seed bank in these areas to diversify larger parts of the rural hinterland of the estate currently in agricultural use. Existing species-rich hedgerows can also be subject to positive future management using traditional conservation-friendly methods such as laying, with older hedgerows prioritised for retention within the layout, and new species-rich native hedgerows planted in conjunction with the proposals. Existing ponds can be subject to ecological restoration to improve their suitability for a range of species including aquatic invertebrates, amphibians, foraging bats and hunting Grass Snake. The habitats present both on site and in the wider area are likely to support a range of fauna of varying ecological importance including; amphibians, reptiles, breeding and overwintering birds (particularly farmland birds), mammals such as bats and Badgers, and invertebrate assemblages. The scale of the proposals and large areas of proposed Green Infrastructure being brought forward will provide the means to deliver new habitat for these species and this will be informed by further ecological survey work in due course.

For ‘how to use this report’, the planning context and the survey methodology, please refer to Sections 1-3 in the main report. This report sets out the findings of Phase 1 ecological surveys for a further five SHELAA sites (BIN16, BIN17, BIN18, BIN19 and WAR25). 1.1.2 The information can be used to guide development to the most suitable sites, and within sites, to the most suitable parts of the site but these surveys were carried out during late summer in dry conditions only; the actual survey date for each site is recorded in Figure 1. Surveys are subject to seasonal and access constraints and represent a snapshot of the sites at the time of the survey, because the ecology of a site will change over time and as a result in changes in land management.
