  • Biological Surveys at Hunsbury Hill Country Park 2018
    FRIENDS OF WEST HUNSBURY PARKS BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS AT HUNSBURY HILL COUNTRY PARK 2018 Ryan Clark Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre April 2019 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre Introduction Biological records tell us which species are present on sites and are essential in informing the conservation and management of wildlife. In 2018, the Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre ran a number of events to encourage biological recording at Hunsbury Hill Fort as part of the Friends of West Hunsbury Park’s project, which is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Hunsbury Hill Country Park is designated as a Local Wildlife Site (LWS). There are approximately 700 Local Wildlife Sites in Northamptonshire. Local Wildlife Sites create a network of areas, which are important as refuges for wildlife or wildlife corridors. Hunsbury Hill Country Park was designated as a LWS in 1992 for its woodland flora and the variety of habitats that the site possesses. The site also has a Local Geological Site (LGS) which highlights the importance of this site for its geology as well as biodiversity. This will be surveyed by the local geological group in due course. Hunsbury Hill Country Park Local Wildlife Site Boundary 1 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre (NBRC) supports the recording, curation and sharing of quality verified environmental information for sound decision-making. We hold nearly a million biological records covering a variety of different species groups. Before the start of this project, we looked to see which species had been recorded at the site. We were surprised to find that the only records we have for the site have come from Local Wildlife Site Surveys, which assess the quality of the site and focus on vascular plants, with some casual observations of other species noted too.

The Borough Council, together with English Partnerships have commissioned consultants (Halcrow) to undertake a feasibility study of the regeneration potential of three sites in the Borough (Sixfields, Harvey Reeves Road and Ransome Road). The study, published in February 2003, identified proposals for the Sixfields area, including possible further retail or leisure development, in the area currently used as a Car Park and Recycling Centre. The study examined a range of issues including ownership, geotechnical and contamination issues. It is available as a separate report1. In view of the fact that these issues have already been considered, they need not be covered in this report. The Council has adopted the preferred strategies identified by Halcrow for the three sites. In respect of the Sixfields area the preferred strategy is set out below; • Package 1: Park and ride, civic amenity sites and land to the south redeveloped for retail/leisure/car showroom or alternatively offices.
