All trees are susceptible to exceptional weather events or deterioration resulting from other environmental changes in close proximity to the tree. The evaluation is based upon Visual Tree Assessment (Mattheck & Breloer 2001). Observations have been made from ground level with the aid of binoculars. 2.1 Statutory Obligations: Bats and the Law (Woodland Management for Bats 2005) ‘The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 makes it an offence to disturb, damage or destroy bats or their roosts. The Act applies in both England & Wales and requires consultation with the appropriate SNCO before carrying out activities which might harm or disturb bats or their roosts. The Act is amended by the CROW Act 2000. This adds recklessness to the offence of damaging or destroying a place a bat uses for shelter, or disturbing a bat while using a roost.

  • Appendix a Environmental Baseline
    Appendix A Environmental Baseline . Introduction The data collected to characterise the baseline environment of Telford and Wrekin Borough has been derived from numerous secondary sources, which are referenced as footnotes in this report. No new investigations or surveys have been undertaken. In some instances, it has been noted that different secondary sources present conflicting information and it has not been possible to verify which sources are the most accurate. Where this has been identified, the limitations have been noted. It should be noted that there is an abundance of environmental information available. However, the information presented in this Appendix has been chosen on the basis that it may be influenced or affected by the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS). Steps have been taken to avoid including information which is of no clear relevance to the LFRMS. It may be necessary to collect further data against which to assess the potential environmental effects of the LFRMS with regard to monitoring requirements. Population .. Population The topic of population is considered first in the baseline information, since the over-arching purpose of the LFRMS is to reduce flood risk to people and property. The LFRMS also seeks to increase public awareness of flooding and promote individual and community level flood resilience. A number of properties in the Telford and Wrekin Area are in areas at risk of flooding and were affected by flooding during the Summer 2007 floods. Some of the properties were affected by flooding from fluvial sources (streams, rivers) but many properties were affected from surface water flooding from sewers and drainsi.
