An overview and context of relevant legislation is provided, with the relevant protection each species groups or species receives summarised in Table 1. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, (as amended) (WCA) Protected birds, animals and plants are listed under Schedules 1, 5, 8 and 9 respectively of the WCA, a description of these Schedules and their meaning is provided below. Under the WCA (England and Wales) all birds, their nests and eggs (with exception of species listed under Schedule 2) are protected by the WCA. It is an offence to: § Intentionally kill, injure, or take any wild bird, § Take or destroy an egg of any wild bird. § Damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird (whilst being built, or in use). Under the WCA the clearance of vegetation within the survey area boundary, or immediately adjacent to the survey area during the bird nesting season could result in an offence occurring by the disruption or destruction of nest sites. The bird breeding season can be taken to occur between March - August inclusive, although is subject to variations based on species, geographical and seasonal factors.

Schedule 1 Birds listed under Schedule 1 of the WCA7 are afforded additional protection with regard to intentional or reckless disturbance whilst nest-building, or at a nest containing eggs or young, or disturb the dependent young of such a bird. Schedule 5 Species listed in Schedule 5 can either be fully protected or be partially protected under Section 9, which makes it unlawful to intentionally: § Part 1: kill, injure or take; § Part 2: possess or control (live or dead animal, part or derivative); § Part 4 (a): damage or destruct any structure used for shelter or protection; § Part 4 (b): disturb them in a place of shelter or protection; § Part 4 (c): obstruct access to place of shelter or protection; § Part 5 (a): sell, offer for sale, possess or transport for the purpose of sale (live or dead animal, part or derivative); § Part 5 (b): advertise for buying or selling. Schedule 8 The Act makes it an offence (subject to exceptions) to pick, uproot, trade in, or possess (for the purposes of trade) any wild plant listed in Schedule 8, and prohibits the unauthorised intentional uprooting of such plants.

UNIT 10, WADE ROAD WSP Project No.: 70045439 | Our Ref No.: 001 March 2019 Legal & General Schedule 9 Invasive species listed under Schedule 9 are prohibited from release into the wild and the Act prohibits planting or “causing to grow” in the wild of any plant species listed in Schedule 9. It should be noted that certain bird species listed on Schedule 1 of the WCA are also listed on Schedule 9 to prevent release of non-native and captive individuals, this includes barn owl, red kite, goshawk and corncrake. Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW Act) The CRoW Act has amended the WCA in England and Wales strengthening the protection afforded to Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the legal protection for threatened species. It adds the word ‘reckless’ to the wording of the offences listed under Section 9(4) of the WCA. This alteration makes it an offence to recklessly commit an offence, where previously an offence had to be intentional to result in a breach of legislation. Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006 Species and Habitats of Principal Importance in England and Wales are listed under Section 41 and Section 42 respectively of the NERC Act. The Section 41 and 42 lists detail species that are of principal importance for the conservation of biodiversity in England and Wales, and should be used to guide decision-makers such as local and regional authorities when implementing their duty to have regard for the conservation of biodiversity in the exercise of their normal functions – as required under Section 40 of the NERC Act 2006. The Environment (Wales) Act 2016 The Environment (Wales) Act 2016 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/anaw/2016/3/contents/enacted) puts in place the legislation needed to plan and manage Wales’ natural resources in a more proactive, sustainable and cohesive way. Section 7 replaces the duty in Section 42 of the NERC Act 2006 and it places a duty on the Welsh Ministers to publish, review and revise lists of living organisms and types of habitats which they consider are of key significance to sustain and improve biodiversity in Wales. The species and habitat lists are identical to those in Section 42 but it should be noted it is currently under review (23.03.2017). The Protection of Badgers Act (1992) It is an offence to wilfully take, kill, injure, possess or ill-treat a badger. Under the Act their setts are protected against intentional or reckless interference. Sett interference includes damaging or destroying a sett, obstructing access to any part of the sett, or disturbance of a badger whilst it is occupying a sett. The Act defines a badger sett as ‘any structure or place, which displays signs indicating the current use by a badger’ and Natural England (NE) takes this definition to include seasonally used setts that are not occupied but that show sign of recent use by badgers (Natural England, 20098). If impacts to badgers or their setts are unavoidable then authorised sett disturbance requires a licence. The UK Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework (2011-2020) (JNCC and DEFRA, 2012) This Framework lists the UK’s most threatened species and habitats and sets out targets and objectives for their management and recovery. The UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) process is delivered nationally, regionally and locally and should be used as a guide for decision-makers to have regards for the targets set by the framework and the goals they aim to achieve. The UK BAP has now been replaced by the UK Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework, however, it contains useful information on how to characterise important species assemblages and habitats which is still relevant (UK Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework, 20129). The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (am amended) The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 consolidate the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 with subsequent amendments. The Regulations transpose Council Directive 92/43/EEC, on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (EC Habitats Directive), into national law. They also transpose elements of the EU Wild Birds Directive in England and Wales. The Regulations came into force on 30th November 2017, and extend to England and Wales (including the adjacent territorial sea) and to a limited extent in Scotland (reserved matters) and Northern Ireland (excepted matters). In Scotland, the Habitats Directive is transposed through a combination of the Habitats Regulations 2010 (in relation to reserved matters) and the Conservation (Natural Habitats andc.) Regulations 1994. The Conservation (Natural Habitats, andc) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (as amended) transpose the Habitats Directive in relation to Northern Ireland. All species listed under Annex IV of the Habitats Directive require strict protection and are known as European Protected Species (EPS). Under Regulation 42 of the Habitats Regulations it is unlawful to: § Deliberately kill, capture or disturb;

UNIT 10, WADE ROAD WSP Project No.: 70045439 | Our Ref No.: 001 March 2019 Legal & General § Deliberately take or destroy the eggs of; and § Damage or destroy the breeding site/resting place of any species protected under this legislation. If the Ecologist determines that impacts to an EPS are unavoidable then the works may need to be carried out under a site specific mitigation licence from Natural England (NE) or Natural Resources Wales (NRW). Low Impact Class licences are also available in both England and Wales for bats and great crested newts. This enables Registered Low Impact Consultants to undertake certain low impact activities reducing the EPS application paperwork and process length. Certain EPS are also listed under Annex II of the Habitats Directive and are afforded protection by the establishment of core areas of habitat known as Special Areas of Conservation. This means these species are a relevant consideration in a Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA).

The Birds Directive seeks to maintain populations of all wild bird species across their natural range (Article 2). All bird species listed under Annex I10 of the Birds Directive are rare or vulnerable and afforded protection by the classification of Special Protection Areas (SPAs), these are also designated under all regularly occurring migratory species, with regard to the protection of wetlands of international importance (Article 4). This means these bird species and communities are a relevant consideration in HRA.

Basingstoke and Dean Local Plan (2011 to 2029) adopted 2016 Policy EM1 - Landscape Development will be permitted only where it can be demonstrated, through an appropriate assessment, that the proposals are sympathetic to the character and visual quality of the area concerned. Development proposals must respect, enhance and not be detrimental to the character or visual amenity of the landscape likely to be affected, paying particular regard to: The particular qualities identified within the council’s landscape character assessment and any subsequent updates or relevant guidance; § a) The particular qualities identified within the council’s landscape character assessment and any subsequent updates or relevant guidance; § b) The visual amenity and scenic quality; § c) The setting of a settlement, including important views to, across, within and out of settlements; § d) The local character of buildings and settlements, including important open areas; § e) Trees, ancient woodland, hedgerows, water features such as rivers and other landscape features and their function as ecological networks; § f) Intrinsically dark landscapes; § g) Historic landscapes, parks and gardens and features; and § h) The character of the borough’s rivers and tributaries, including the River Loddon and Test, which should be safeguarded.

Where appropriate, proposals will be required to include a comprehensive landscaping scheme to ensure that the development would successfully integrate with the landscape and surroundings. The assessment of character and visual quality and the provision of a landscaping scheme should be proportionate to the scale and nature of the development proposed.

UNIT 10, WADE ROAD WSP Project No.: 70045439 | Our Ref No.: 001 March 2019 Legal & General Policy EM3 – Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area New residential development which is likely to have a significant effect on the ecological integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA) will be required to clearly demonstrate that any potential adverse effects are fully mitigated.

For all net additional residential development within a 5km straight line distance of the SPA, relevant mitigation measures will be required in line with the Thames Basin Heaths Delivery Framework. This will include the provision of, or contributions towards, Suitable Alterative Natural Green Space (SANGS), and contributions towards Strategic Access Management and Monitoring (SAMM). Applications for large scale residential development (over 50 new dwellings) within 5-7km of the SPA will be assessed individually and, if needed, bespoke mitigation will be required in accordance with Natural England guidance.

Policy EM4 – Biodiversity, Geodiversity and Nature Conservation § 1. Development proposals will only be permitted if significant harm to biodiversity and/ or geodiversity resulting from a development can be avoided or, if that is not possible, adequately mitigated and where it can be clearly demonstrated that: · a) There will be no adverse impact on the conservation status of key species; and · b) There will be no adverse impact on the integrity of designated and proposed European designated sites; and · c) There will be no harm to nationally designated sites; and · d) There will be no harm to locally designated sites including Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) and Local Nature Reserves (LNRs); and · e) There will be no loss or deterioration of a key habitat type, including irreplaceable habitats; and · f) There will be no harm to the integrity of linkages between designated sites and key habitats. The weight given to the protection of nature conservation interests will depend on the national or local significance and any designation or protection applying to the site, habitat or species concerned. § 2. Where development proposals do not comply with the above they will only be permitted if it has been clearly demonstrated that there is an overriding public need for the proposal which outweighs the need to safeguard biodiversity and/ or geodiversity and there is no satisfactory alternative with less or no harmful impacts. In such cases, as a last resort, compensatory measures will be secured to ensure no net loss of biodiversity and, where possible, provide a net gain. § 3. Applications for development must include adequate and proportionate information to enable a proper assessment of the implications for biodiversity and geodiversity. § 4. In order to secure opportunities for biodiversity improvement, relevant development proposals will be required to include proportionate measures to contribute, where possible, to a net gain in biodiversity, through creation, restoration, enhancement and management of habitats and features including measures that help to link key habitats. Approaches to secure improvements could be achieved through: a) A focus on identified Biodiversity Opportunity Areas and Biodiversity Priority Areas as identified in the councils Green Infrastructure Strategy (and subsequent updates) where appropriate; and through b) On-site and/ or off-site provision linked to new development in accordance with the council’s adopted green space standards.

Policy EM5 – Green Infrastructure Development proposals will only be permitted where they do not: § a) Prejudice the delivery of the council’s Green Infrastructure Strategy (and subsequent updates); § b) Result in the fragmentation of the green infrastructure network by severing important corridors/links; or § c) Result in undue pressure on the network which cannot be fully mitigated. The council will support proposals which seek to improve links and remedy identified deficiencies in the green infrastructure network in accordance with the council’s Green Infrastructure Strategy.

UNIT 10, WADE ROAD WSP Project No.: 70045439 | Our Ref No.: 001 March 2019 Legal & General The council will seek to protect and enhance the quality and extent of public open space and public rights of way. Proposals for the redevelopment of public and private open spaces will not be permitted unless it can be clearly demonstrated that: § d) Replacement areas will be at least equivalent in terms of quality, quantity and accessibility, and there will be no overall negative impact on the provision of green infrastructure; or § e) A robust assessment clearly demonstrates that the space is surplus to local requirements and will not be needed in the-long term in accordance with the council’s local standards; or § f) The proposal is for alternative recreational provision which meets evidence of local need in such a way as to outweigh the loss. Development proposals will be permitted where it can be clearly demonstrated that green infrastructure can be provided and phased to support the requirements of proposed development and be in accordance with the council’s adopted green space standards. Green space and equipped play will normally be provided on-site. Consideration will be given to an off-site financial contribution towards the enhancement of existing facilities, in addition to, or instead of, provision of new green space on site but only where: § g) The quantity standard for the number of proposed dwellings does not result in a requirement for green space which meets the minimum size standard for a particular type; or § h) It can be demonstrated that the needs of new residents can be met in this way without adversely impacting on the needs of existing residents.
