  • Hazeley Heath Consultation Report.Pdf
    1 Footprint Contract Reference: 285 Date: April 2016 Version: FINAL Recommended Citation: Lake, S., Underhill-Day, J. and Panter, C. 2016. A report and recommendations following the 2015/6 Hazeley Heath management consultation. A report by Footprint Ecology to Hart District Council 1 Summary Hazeley Heath, which supports rare heathland fauna and habitats, requires ongoing management to prevent succession to secondary woodland and to improve the condition of the habitat. Managed by Hart District Council (HDC) and RSPB (RSPB), it comprises two commons that are much valued for quiet recreation by the local community. HDC and RSPB are developing a new five-year management plan for the site, and wished to consult with the local community and other stakeholders about the future management of the commons. A consultation process following that set out in the government guidance A Common Purpose is therefore being used. To date, the consultation has involved an online questionnaire, a drop-in day, a guided walk on Hazeley Heath, and letters sent to around 320 local residents, relevant organisations and commoners. This report summarises the findings of the consultation and makes recommendations for the management of the common. The questionnaire revealed that most respondents were local, and visited the common to walk. Many also visited for dog walking, nature study, and quiet relaxation. At least two thirds of respondents visited the common at least weekly, and about a third daily. Most arrived on foot, with about a third arriving by car. Respondents visited Hazeley Heath predominantly because of the scenery and open views, peace and quiet and wildness, also easy access, wildlife and circular routes.

Introduction This report contains the results of applying the chemical GQA Scheme to data collected during 1992-1994 from the freshwater stretches of rivers in South Wessex Area; these results are referred to as the 1994 assessment. This assessment uses all routine samples taken between 1 January 1992 and 31 December 1994 as part of the annual GQA monitoring programmes. It is calculated from measurements of the concentrations of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total ammonia and dissolved oxygen. 2. Background The GQA Scheme is the NRA classification system designed to show trends in water quality over time; full details of the Scheme are given elsewhere1.

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.
