1 Summary

This report presents the findings of an Extended Phase 1 habitat survey in relation to a proposed development on land located south of the property and gardens called Red Hill, at Appleton, Warrington on behalf of Mr Jones and Walker Design. The aims of the study were to assess the conservation value of the survey area, the likely presence of rare or protected species and to identify any features, habitats or species which would constitute potential constraints to the proposed development.

No non-statutory sites will be directly affected by the proposed development. The proposed scheme comprises a development proposal within the land parcel (see fig 1).

The site is split into two distinctive land parcels, an open area of amenity grassland with small patches of introduced shrubs and two buildings, the southern parcel is a block of broadleaf woodland, comprising Sycamore Acer pseudoplatanus, Ash Fraxinus excelsior Beech Fagus sylvatica, Silver Birch Betula pendula, Hawthorn Crataegus mongyna, Holly Ilex aquifolium, Bramble Rubus fruiticosus and Rhododendron Rhododendrum ferrugineum.

An Extended Phase 1 habitat survey is an initial site walkover that determines the baseline habitat of the study area, outlining the potential ecological value and significance of habitats for protected and notable flora and fauna. The site survey was conducted on 26th March 2014 and followed JNCC (2012) guidelines.

The surrounding landscape comprises largely of sheep stocked fields, woodland copses and built environment to the east.

2 Introduction

Leigh Ecology Ltd was commissioned by Mr Jones and Walker Design to undertake an Extended Phase 1 habitat survey on the land at Red House, Appleton near Warrington. See figure 1 below for the site location and extent.

The scope of this Extended Phase 1 Habitat survey is to identify the ecological features and recommend further surveys in accordance with the possible impact of the proposed works.

The objectives of the study were;

 To provide baseline information on the current habitats and ecological features both on site and in the immediate surrounding area;

 To identify the presence or potential presence of any protected species or habitats;

 To identify any requirements for further ecological work.

The proposed works comprise the provision of a new dwelling and associated infrastructure.

Legislative Framework

Protected species are referred to in The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010, with a general reference to certain plants, animals and wild birds all being protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). This emphasises that, regardless of any planning policy or guidelines, certain species are legally protected and any type of development that would injure, kill, ill-treat, intentionally damage or destroy any protected species or place of shelter would be a criminal act. The Act was further strengthened in 2000 by the introduction of the Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act 2000.

Species of European importance receive additional protection under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 and others receive protection through specific legislation (e.g. the Protection of Badgers Act, 1992).

Any development which may have an impact upon the integrity of a statutory designated site for nature conservation purposes is also subject to the terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Habitat Regulations, in particular Regulations 48 and 49 of the latter, where an Appropriate Assessment may be required in order for a Competent Authority to determine this impact, both from the proposed scheme and in combination with any other schemes.

Councils also have a statutory obligation under the National Planning Policy Framework NPPF (2012) to make material consideration to biodiversity conservation in the determination of all types of planning applications. Planners therefore require relevant information from wildlife surveys and details on proposed mitigation for priority species and habitats (as well as for legally protected species) in order to assess the effects on biodiversity of a proposed development.

In 2007, the UK list of conservation priority species and habitats was fully revised taking into account emerging priorities, conservation successes and information gathered in the past decade. The list now contains 1149 species and 65 habitats that have been listed as priorities for conservation action under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP). The framework for conserving biodiversity is laid out in a ‘Conserving Biodiversity - The UK Approach’ (Defra 2007), which aims to halt the loss of biodiversity by 2010.

5 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Red Hill, Appleton, Cheshire Leigh Ecology Ltd.

As part of the action plan process, Local Biodiversity Action Plans (LBAPs) were also produced for every county in the UK, although other public bodies may also produce them. These LBAPs highlight local biodiversity issues, with specific action plans being implemented for priority habitats and species where they occur. The relevant scheme for the proposed development is the Cheshire LBAP.

With legal responsibilities and planning implications it is therefore important that any ecological assessment of a proposed development site addresses the possibility of protected species being present within or around the site, along with any potential impacts of the proposed scheme on statutory designated sites.

Without such an assessment, a developer is unable to demonstrate due diligence in its responsibilities, with reference to both the legal protection and the possible information required in support of the planning application. It would, however, be unreasonable for an ecological assessment to survey for every protected species. Any such assessment should therefore be based upon the results of a habitat survey and the associated possibility or likelihood of protected species being present.

This study therefore seeks to establish the potential for protected species on the site and makes recommendations for further surveys to establish the presence or likely absence of any protected species, or the potential effects of the proposed scheme on statutory sites designated for nature conservation purposes.

3 Methodology 3.1 Desk Study

The desk study identified statutorily designated sites of nature conservation interest through a review of the Multi Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside (MAGIC) and Natural England (NE) websites.

Biological data was requested from the Cheshire rECORD. The following minimum data search parameters were used (rECORD data searches centred on the approximate centre point of the application site):

All statutory designated sites within a 5km radius;

Non-statutorily designated sites within a 2km radius;

Records for all pertinent protected species within a 2km radius.

A search for biological data was also made through the National Biodiversity (NBN) Gateway; data was obtained for species within the relevant 10km grid square.

Reference was also made to Ordnance Survey maps of the wider area and online aerial images (www.google.co.uk/maps) in order to determine any features of nature conservation interest in the wider area.

The following key reference documents were utilised:

Cheshire Biodiversity Action Plans

3.2 Field Surveys

Roy Leigh ACIEEM undertook the field survey on 26th March 2014. The extent of the survey area is detailed in Figure 1.

The extended Phase 1 habitat survey employed methodology based-upon that outlined in the ‘Handbook for Phase 1 Habitat Survey’ (JNCC, 2003) whereby all habitats within the study area are mapped and described using a series of ‘target notes’ to provide an overview of the site and it’s potential to harbour notable or protected species.

7 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Red Hill, Appleton, Cheshire Leigh Ecology Ltd.

Great Crested Newts

The assessment for great crested newts Triturus cristatus was initially based on studying maps and satellite imagery, noting the terrestrial habitat potential for amphibians and the linkage of the proposal site to any potential breeding ponds.

This is followed up by visiting pond locations and ground truthing their condition and the linkage via linear landscape features that provide a corridor between the ponds, both within the proposal site and occurring inside the 250m buffer.

Reptiles

The survey site was walked and key areas for reptile basking were identified.

Prime basking areas include sunny spots is dense vegetation, pools of sunlight deep in wooded areas and south facing banks such as those along raised hedgerows.

Birds

An assessment of breeding birds was undertaken using a basic breeding bird survey, which broadly followed the British Trust for Ornithology BBS methodology. However as the survey was undertaken in March, it is too early to record any summer migrants that may inhabit the site during the breeding season.

Bats

Trees External Inspection

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;

 Feeding remains;

 Grease staining/ urine marks;

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.

Landscape Assessment

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.

Water Vole

The survey for Water Vole Arvicola amphibius was undertaken at the same time as the phase 1 survey. This method followed the methodology set out in the Water Vole Conservation Handbook (2012).

The survey comprised searching for any potential water vole habitat within the proposal site, and then looking for signs as shown below:

 Water Voles present;

 Feeding Lawns;

 Footprints;

 Latrines;

 Bank holes.

Badger

The proposal site and a 30meter buffer was searched for signs of Badger Meles meles presence and usage:

 Setts;

 Badger runs/guard hairs;

 Latrines;

 Feeding signs/snuffle marks.

The surveys were undertaken during the extended phase 1 survey in March, which allowed for the detection of mammal paths. And as the vegetation has died back, this allowed the close examination of scrub and tall densely vegetated areas.

4 Results 4.1 Desk Study

Statutory Designations There are no statutory designated sites (e.g. Special Protection Areas (SPA), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) or, Ramsar Sites) located within the proposed development site or within 5km of the site boundary.

Non-Statutory Designations

rECORD and the Multi Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside (Magic) website provided information on a series of sites occurring within 2km of the proposal site.

Name of Site Designation Approx.

Distance

Appleton Reservoir Local Wildlife Site 1km SW

Dennow Woodland Local Wildlife Site 0.75km S

Stockton Heath Rifle Local Wildlife Site 0.75km E Range

Table 4.2: Non-Statutory designated sites within 2km of the application site.

It is notable that the area surrounding the site contains some deciduous woodland, which is a BAP priority habitat.

Protected and Notable Species

rECORD provided records for protected and notable species within 2km of the application site. The full data set is available upon request, however a selected listing has been provided in Appendix 2.

10 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Red Hill, Appleton, Cheshire Leigh Ecology Ltd.

The data has been analysed and considered in terms of the potential impact of the proposed development.

Birds

The dataset provided by rECORD identified records of a number of bird species, including species protected under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) 1981, species listed on the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP) and Cheshire BAP (SBAP), species of principal importance for the purpose of conserving biodiversity covered under section 41 (England) of the NERC Act (2006), and red listed species in ‘Birds of Conservation Concern’ (BoCC) (Eaton et al, 2009).

No bird species records were noted from the proposal site, however it is noted that a number of notable species did occur at Appleton Reservoir, these were mainly waterfowl species, this might be due to observer bias.

The proposal site is set adjacent to some broadleaf woodland and mature garden habitats, therefore it is likely that species frequenting these habitats may be impacted on as a result of the proposed development.

Bats

The dataset provided by rECORD included records of at least 3 species of bat within 2km of the site. Records are presented in appendix 2.

A small number of historic bat records were returned from the Appleton area, these were mainly associated with nearby housing and gardens and of commoner species (Noctule Nyctalus nocula Common Pipistrelle Pipistrellus pipistrellus and Soprano Pipistrelle Pipistellus pygmaeus). However, it is likely that some bat species noted will frequent woodland habitats for foraging.

Water Vole

No records occurred from the proposal site or within any local area. No habitat occurs on or within 200m of the proposal site.

Badger

26 records were returned for the 2km search area, 10 were from the Appleton area.

11 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Red Hill, Appleton, Cheshire Leigh Ecology Ltd.

Amphibians

No records of great crested newt were returned from the 2km search area. No breeding ponds occur within 500m of the proposal site.

Reptiles

No reptile records were received from the data search. Some potential basking areas and egg laying areas do occur within the proposal site.

The National Biodiversity Network did not produce any protected or notable species records from within c.2km of the site.

4.2 Field Study The site map is shown in Figure 1 it shows the extent of the survey area. Figure 2 appended to the document shows the overview of the habitat and the locations of the accompanying target notes (TNs) and a summary of habitats and species considered pertinent to the scheme are presented in Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 where appropriate; recommendations for mitigation are detailed in Section 6.

4.2.1 Habitats

The proposal site consists of two distinct parcels of land, the first area is located immediately to the south of Red Hill garden and is predominately short sward amenity grassland, bordered by wooden pale fences, a leylandii hedge to the east and a shrub border to the north. A wooden garden shed occurs to the west, a large polythene structure housing a swimming pool dominates the area of land with a square brick built changing room located between the swimming pool area and the eastern boundary hedge.

Occurring immediately to the south of the above mentioned land parcel is an area of broadleaf woodland, this is the second land parcel making up the proposal development. A post and wire fence separates the two land parcels.

The woodland is an interesting make up, with mature trees occurring on the boundary and plantation trees occurring down the slope. The tree mix is Sycamore, Silver Birch, Holly,

Beech, Ash with some patchy Hawthorn, Rhododendron and Bramble occurs within the understorey. The ground is open with a deep covering of leaf litter.

Target Notes of specific interest points. See Figure 2 for locations.

Target Note Description Target Note 1 Badger snuffle marks recorded on the grassland Target Note 2 Beech tree, mature tree offering good wildlife habitats

Target Note 3 Cutting into the rock Target Note 4 Trees containing main limb ivy growth Target Note 5 A mammal path, noted in the morning dew on the grass

The habitat diversity present on the site is very low; therefore the DAFOR scale and species range was not applicable in this case.

Habitat to the wider area from the proposal site is generally open improved pasture, farmed for grazing for livestock with pockets of broadleaf woodland and to the north and east of the site is a built environment with mature suburban gardens.

Trees

The northern parcel site contained few mature broadleaf trees and a single fir tree, tree species occurring on site are ash, silver birch and sycamore.

Trees occur occasionally, mainly along the western boundary of the garden, some of them have dense ivy Hedra helix growth on the trunk and main limbs. This will offer some bat roost potential, mainly on a transient basis for use whilst foraging.

Plate 9 The beech tree noted as TN2 is located on the northern edge of the woodland compartment.

Plate 10 The woodland is set on a steep incline, which drops away from the northern open compartment, as it drops down the hill the open mature woodland gives way to a more younger plantation whip type woodland comprising silver birch and sycamore tree species.

Plate 11 The plantation area is dense in places, with additional ground cover provided by holly and rhododendron scrub.

4.2.2 Protected Species

The proposed application area and adjacent land is suitable for a range of protected species, as described below.

Badgers: During the phase 1 survey signs of badger activity was recorded within the proposal site. A number of snuffle marks were noted on the woodland edge.

However, following a detailed search of the site and 30m buffer zone no setts were noted, a single hole was noted within the woodland, however this was proved to be used by rabbit. It is seemingly likely that the badger sett is located beyond 30m from the proposal site within the adjacent woodland.

Therefore, based on the signs, it can be concluded that the site is used as a foraging site by badgers, on an infrequent basis judging by the low number of signs apparent.

Plate 12 The badger snuffle marks, Target Note 1, these are distinguishable from rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus scrape marks (which also occur in the area) by the depth and breadth.

Plate 13 A mammal path running parallel with the hedge, the path isn’t worn, therefore can be concluded that its use is infrequent.

20 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Red Hill, Appleton, Cheshire Leigh Ecology Ltd.

Plate 14 The southern edge of the woodland bordering the open farmland, demonstrated more badger snuffle and scrape marks.

Water Vole

No signs of water voles, or in fact no suitable habitat was found during the survey.

Otter

No signs of otter, or in fact no suitable habitat was found during the survey.

Amphibians:

No habitat for amphibians occurs on the development site or within 250m of the site.

Reptiles

Some woodland glade habitat, occurs on site which may possibly offer habitat for reptiles.

Birds

The proposal site has limited habitat potential for birds. The following table provides the species recorded at the proposal site during the phase 1 survey in March.

Initial results indicate that the proposal site may be used by a small variety of birds, mainly as a foraging resource, rather than a potential nest site, due to the lack of dense vegetation that birds use as cover during the breeding season.

Bats

All trees were surveyed externally for potential roost sites. All of the trees offered little bat roosting habitat, as they contained no cavities, cracks or fissures.

However, the trees located along the western boundary of the proposal site are shrouded in ivy, the trees were examined for any signs of bats using the ivy, none were found, however it is noted that any signs may have been washed away by rain.

It is recommended that if following the detailed design of the proposed development, if any trees are removed following a static period, then further bat surveys will be required in order to establish whether bats have begun using the ivy on the trees.

The buildings located on the proposal site were checked for bat potential. Both the polythene constructed swimming pool shelter and the brick built changing room were checked.

It was concluded that both structures did not offer any bat roost potential or demonstrate any signs of bat usage.

Plate 15 The brick constructed dressing room was checked externally for signs of bat usage and signs of bat presence.

Plate 16 The building was well sealed, with a solid concrete flat roof, with no roof space.

5 Assessment of Impacts

The proposed scheme show above, (this is not to scale) will take a proportion of amenity grassland located on the northern parcel of land for the proposed dwelling. The access road to the dwelling will cut through the woodland, which is the southern land parcel of land.

Non – Statutory Designations

No direct or non-direct impacts on the habitats or species occurring in non - statutorily designated sites are anticipated.

Habitats

It is anticipated that the development proposal will take a small amount of amenity grassland located in the northern land parcel of the proposal site, this area is managed as a garden, therefore is heavily managed and disturbed.

The southern parcel of land comprises of mature broadleaf woodland skirted by broadleaf plantation habitat. These are priority BAP habitats noted within the local and national BAP lists. It is anticipated that the access track will cut through this habitat, therefore it is likely that some of this habitat will be lost and some fragmentation will occur.

24 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Red Hill, Appleton, Cheshire Leigh Ecology Ltd.

Therefore it is concluded that the proposed development will have a negative impact on the broadleaf woodland habitat.

Badgers

Signs of badger usage were recorded in the proposal site. However no setts have been located within 30m of the site.

Therefore, it is unlikely the proposed development will have a direct impact on badgers, however, given badgers use the site some safeguards will be required during the construction phase.

Badgers are dynamic species, and may colonise areas relatively quickly.

Therefore it is suggested that pre-construction checks will be required in order to ensure that the site is still clear of badger setts.

Water Vole

No signs of water vole or water vole habitat were identified within 500m of the proposal site.

Therefore no impacts on water vole are anticipated.

Birds

Baseline data suggests the proposal site area is likely to be of a reasonable value to bird species overall.

Construction-related ornithological impacts include temporarily increased levels of disturbance and the permanent loss of a small area of low quality habitat.

As land-take of preferred habitat will be minimal, such impacts are considered likely to be negligible.

Nevertheless, any habitat loss and/ or vegetation removal within the breeding season could lead to destruction or disturbance of nest sites, leading to a minor negative impact on bird species.

Bats

Baseline data collated from the field survey and desk study suggests that the proposal site is likely to be no more than of local importance for bats. The site and surrounding habitats including woodland, houses and gardens were identified as being of higher interest for bats.

25 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Red Hill, Appleton, Cheshire Leigh Ecology Ltd.

No roost sites were recorded from the tree and building survey. However a number of ivy-clad trees were recorded in adjacent areas to the site. Potentially, bats may use these as a transient roost during commuting or foraging.

Some flight line fragmentation may occur following the removal of the trees for the access track route, this may open the canopy, severing continuous routes which bats use for commuting and foraging.

Following the production of the detailed route design for the access track, it is suggested that any trees with bat roost potential and canopy coverage are rechecked prior to removal.

Therefore, the potential impacts on bats as a result of the proposal include, loss of foraging habitat, and fragmentation of habitat. This may cumulate in a minor negative impact.

6 Recommendations

The ecological receptors are dynamic and the conditions will change over time based on changes to site management and their population dynamics and expansion. Therefore it is prudent to update the assessment within 3 years should no development activity be undertaken on the site.

Where possible any landscaping design should be planned to provide connectivity with the wider landscape, including woodland edge and hedgerows.

The following programme of work is recommended:

 Minimise any impact loss of tree/woodland habitat;

 Fine plan the driveway route to minimise impact on woodland trees;

 Use low impact matting for the driveway base;

 Nesting bird check prior to tree removal if works are carried out during the period April-August;

26 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Red Hill, Appleton, Cheshire Leigh Ecology Ltd.

 Undertake pre construction badger surveys, in order to update any provisions and standoff distances in line with Natural England Guidance;

 Development safeguards – covering storage of materials, covering trenches, check prior to backfilling etc.;

 Provision of bat roosting opportunities within targeted buildings which link into the green network of trees and potential wider foraging environment;

 Design of any floodlighting on the proposed building or infrastructure should consider bat flight lines and minimise disturbance and severance of commuting routes;

 Retention of key ecological features (trees) within the layout designs, and develop an on-going maintenance program to ensure future wildlife habitat;

 A Construction Ecological Management Plan (CEMP) should be worked up in order to minimise any risk to ecological receptors during the construction phase and incorporating the provision of landscape plans and ecological enhancement proposals.
