The declaration of Beggarwood Local Nature Reserve fulfils the councils commitment to “maintain and enhance our built and natural environment”, through increasing biodiversity on council managed land and increasing volunteer involvement in the site. The declaration is part of an ongoing council strategy to create a number of Local Nature Reserves through the borough furthering the protection and enhancement of the natural environment. It will protect and enhance the diversity and quality of the wildlife which is already present, including ancient woodlands and newly formed chalk grasslands. It will reflect the effort invested by the local volunteer wildlife group into the management of the park and the new LNR management plan will encourage greater involvement and participation by volunteers, and users in learning about and managing the sites special habitats and species, which will further the local communities ownership of Beggarwood LNR. 1 of 13 Recommendation to Cabinet / Council: . That Beggarwood Park is formally declared as a Local Nature Reserve and that it will be managed in accordance with the Green Space Management Plan for the site. 2 of 13 1 Background, corporate objectives and priorities 1.1 The declaration of Beggarwood Park as a Local Nature Reserve (LNR), follows Decision Notice 62/2015 which set out a priority list of sites for the council to declare LNRs and identified Beggarwood Park as the highest priority site to commence the declaration process. 1.2 Following public consultation the decision, (Proposed Local Nature Reserve- Beggarwood Consultation, 7th October 2016) was approved to declare the whole of Beggarwood Park as a LNR subject to the outcome of stakeholder consultation, accommodating planned activities/facilities and the satisfactory completion of the statutory consultation process with Natural England. 1.3 Between November 2016 to April 2017, consultation was undertaken with key stakeholders (local ward members and local interest groups associated with Beggarwood Park) to define the boundary of the area to be declared. This excludes parts of the park which are to be used for a community facility, play areas and allotments. Following the agreement of the boundary, the management plan was sent to Natural England (NE) for inspection and consultation. Support for the declaration of Beggarwood Park as an LNR was received from NE on the 12th June 2017. 1.4 The declaration of the LNR at Beggarwood Park will recognise the sites importance for Nature Conservation and establish management regimes which will improve the sites importance for wildlife and increase the public enjoyment and involvement of that wildlife in line with the Council Plan policy to ‘maintain and enhance our built and natural environment’. Glossary of terms Term Definition An LNR is a statutory declaration that can be made by the borough council after liaising with Natural England and consulting the local community and interest groups. An LNR is Local Nature defined as ‘land managed as a nature reserve or for a Reserve conservation purpose’. This means that LNRs need to be actively managed to care for the natural features which make the site special. SINCs form part of a wider national network of non-statutory locally valued wildlife sites. A site may qualify as a SINC due to Sites of the presence of a notable species or an important habitat. Importance for SINCs are generally administered by local authorities in Nature partnership with conservation organisations. All sites are Conservation assessed against detailed criteria developed by HCC, Natural (SINCs) England and the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. 3 of 13 Main considerations 2 Executive Summary 2.1 This purpose of this report is to set out the proposal for declaring Beggarwood Park as a LNR arising from an action contained within Decision Notice 62/2015. This sought to create a priority list for declaration of LNRs. 2.2 Beggarwood Park was identified as the highest priority site to be declared as an LNR following assessment against criteria (See Appendix A) as laid out in Decision Notice 37/2015. 3 The Proposal 3.1 The proposal is to declare the area identified on the plan contained at Appendix 2 at Beggarwood Park as a LNR under the wording derived from the National Park Act 1949 contained in Appendix 4. Once declared it will be subject to Section 21 of the National Parks and Access Act 1949 which states that the main aim of management of the site must be for the natural features which make the site special. 3.2 Beggarwood Park is a large neighbourhood park located between Hatch Warren and Beggarwood, to the south of Basingstoke, originally laid out in the late 1990’s as an open space for the use of local residents. There are a number of facilities within the park including allotments, children’s play, a kickabout area, a BMX cycle track, a maze and gym equipment. A new community facility is in the process of being constructed and the site also provides pedestrian and cycle links to adjacent areas. Whilst the LNR declaration will give more focus to nature conservation interests, it will also consider the needs of these other uses. 3.3 The site’s nature interest is intrinsically high with the following important habitats and species present: An Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland borders the site to the north and is already a designated Site of Importance for Nature Conservation Dormice – A UK Biodiversity Action Plan Species (BAP) utilise the Ancient Semi-Natural woodland Small Blue – A UK rare butterfly using the open grassland Skylark – A UK and Hampshire BAP Species using the open grassland Linnet – A UK and Hampshire BAP Species using the woodland edge and scrub House Sparrow – A UK BAP Species 3.4 The management of the site is currently guided by a management plan, which has been reviewed and amended to reflect the proposed declaration. Increased emphasis on management for nature and the public enjoyment, education and involvement with nature have been written into the sites policies, objectives and actions. The plan will be reviewed every 10 years to 4 of 13 make sure they are in line with council policies and requirements for an LNR under the National Park and Access Act. 3.5 Management of the site is currently undertaken by the council’s Operations and Natural Environment teams with significant input from the Old Down and Beggarwood Wildlife Group. The latter have contributed volunteer time to both the development of the management plan and on-site work groups. It is intended to continue with this arrangement following the declaration. 4 Key issues for consideration The declaration of Beggarwood Park as a LNR will enable a long term, stable, management regime (25 years minimum) which will improve natural habitats and the species which live within them. It will lead to greater volunteer involvement in nature conservation on the site and put this on a more recognised footing and encourage local schools and other children’s groups to use the site for learning about the natural environment. The declaration will fulfil the original request for a LNR on this site requested by The Old Down and Beggarwood Wildlife Group under report DN37/2013 and supported by the priority List for Declaration of LNRs exercise undertaken in report DN 62/2015. The site already has a rich natural resource with ancient woodland which holds populations of nationally protected dormice. It also has a rapidly developing chalk grassland which is starting to develop a diverse insect community including a major population of rare small blue butterflies. The LNR covers all areas of Beggarwood Park except those that have primary uses which do not focus on nature conservation. These include the community facility and car park, a play area, BMX track and the allotments (indicated in blue on appendix 2) .The boundary also omits the woodland corridor which runs north from the park maze to Long Cross Lane. The LNR will be subject to the bylaws already enacted on Beggarwood Park and will be declared as an LNR for a minimum of 25 years. 5 Options Analysis 5.1 There are two options that could be taken, as follows: a) To not declare an LNR at Beggarwood Park. This approach has been rejected as it would not reflect the outcomes of previous decisions as well as the desire locally for an LNR declaration. b) To declare Beggarwood Park as an LNR. The preferred option as indicated by public consultation and following consultation with key stakeholders is to declare Beggarwood Park as an LNR 5 of 13 with the omission of the community centre and car park,
