* The Bat Conservation Trust provides further information on bats and buildings - http://www.bats.org.uk/pages/bats_and_buildings.html ** Some areas in the northeast of Glasgow are home to water vole populations which, unusually for the species, are entirely unconnected to any water body. As such the potential presence of water voles should be considered for any development in this part of the city affecting derelict land, brown-field sites, grassland or allotments etc. For more information, or if you are unsure if water voles may be affected by any development proposal, please contact either Glasgow City Council’s Land & Environmental Services or the local office of SNH. See Case Study 1.

Note: This table is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of development types that may affect protected species. The potential for protected species to be present on site should be considered as part of initial survey work.

Protected Species – Providing the Right Information time in relation to determining the presence or absence of these species (see Section 2 and Annex B for more details on survey work requirements). Applicants will usually need to seek expert ecological advice at an early stage to determine the likely presence of protected species and the likely impact on them of any proposed development. Examples of development activities, together with illustrative protected species that may be affected, is provided in Table 2. If the presence of a protected species is suspected, the applicant shall inform the Council. Where protected species, or their places of foraging/rest/shelter, will be affected by a development proposal, mitigation and management proposals for the species concerned shall be included with any planning application (see Section 6).

4.7 Where places regularly used by European Protected Species (in Glasgow, currently bats and otters) are on or near to a proposed development site, it must be demonstrated, to satisfaction of the planning authority, that either these will not be affected by the development proposal or, where this is not possible, that the necessary SNH licenses are likely to be granted when applied for. The planning authority must be satisfied, after consultation with SNH, that a future species licence is likely to be granted prior to granting any consents.

4.8 It should be noted that, where a licence is required, the granting of planning permission does not mean that development can proceed. The required species licences need to be granted by SNH prior to development commencing.

16 of 61 Case Study 1: Water Voles Water voles and development (based on Strachan, R (2004)) An ecological appraisal is required as a first step where any protected Water vole and the law (SNH) species might be affected by development. Since 1998, the water vole has received legal protection through its inclusion on Schedule 5 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 (as The following options are available within the planning process when amended), in respect of Section 9(4) only. This means that the water water voles appear at proposed development sites (see also Mitigation vole’s places of shelter or protection are protected, but not the animals Hierarchy, Section 6) themselves. Recently the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004 a) Accommodate the water voles in situ and maintain or enhance enhanced this protection by inclusion of the term ‘recklessly’ in the conditions that support them (planned design to avoid impact); offences quoted below. Furthermore, the current partial protection b) Accommodate voles on-site, but exclude them from development afforded this species is under wider review and may be extended in areas (planned mitigation by dispIacement/exclusion); and future.

Water voles in Glasgow Glasgow has always been a stronghold for water voles within the Central Even if surveys do not detect the presence of water voles it cannot be Belt with populations recorded in wetlands, including ditches, marshes, assumed that the habitat is unfavourable. If water voles are present ponds, rivers and canals. In 2008, water voles were discovered living within 2km of the site there is a high likelihood that water voles willl use away from water and since then large populations have been recorded in suitable habitat as a dispersal pathway. Therefore, active management to the east end of the city, living in long grassland in parks, road verges, exclude water voles in the form of grass cutting must be maintained. gardens and derelict land. These terrestrial water voles are termed fossorial (mole-like), as they spend more time underground.

Case Study 2 : Ruchill Park Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS)

The construction of a new school and development of the Ruchill Hospital site required the construction of a SUDS within Ruchill Park. The aim was to create a SUDS which would make a positive contribution to biodiversity and this has been achieved. An area of previous amenity grass is now three wildlife rich ponds. The water flows first into a settlement pond where any sediment in the runoff settles out before the water progresses to the other ponds. The water eventually discharges to the Forth & Clyde Canal. The ponds were planted up with aquatic vegetation sourced from other local ponds. Edge vegetation and wildflowers were planted around the ponds. There is a pond dipping platform for the pupils in the school to use as part of outdoor learning (curriculum for excellence).

The Ruchill Park SUDS is now a well-established wildlife rich area which has added value and interest to the Park.

SNH welcome consultations (including pre-application consultations) in relation to certain development proposals (see http://www.snh.gov.uk/planning- and-development/approach/). SNH’s service statement sets out the service Planning Authorities and other consenting authorities can expect from SNH in relation to planning and development proposals. SNH have produced a checklist that sets out when planning authorities should consult them – the considerations currently relevant to Glasgow are replicated below for information, but the checklist can be updated on occasion and reference should be made to the SNH website to confirm the most up-to-date position. Darker shaded boxes denote statutory consultations.

This checklist can help when undertaking a site appraisal. It will help give an indication of the ecological data that will be required for a development site, as well as highlighting the important designations, habitats and species to be considered during the design and planning process. In some cases further survey requirements may be identified following consultations with Council staff and/or SNH.

For full details see report: A Geodiversity Audit of the City of Glasgow (Whitbread and Arkley, 2013)

Shapefiles of the audit were supplied by British Geological Survey, and have been used to prepare the following maps. The boundaries identify: - Suggested Protection Zones - areas of bedrock exposure or extent of the landform feature constituting the geodiversity site and its immediate access; and - Suggested Buffer Zones – areas identified as being required to protect access to, and viewpoints of, the site.

Some Protection and Buffer Zones identified by the audit fall outwith GCC Boundary, but have been included in this SG to ensure consistency with the audit. Please note that the Supplementary Guidance does not apply to the parts of these zones which fall outwith Glasgow.

Ancient, Long-established and/or Semi-natural Woodland – trees and woodlands identified, by SNH, on the Ancient Woodland Inventory, and of value for their biodiversity and cultural value by virtue of their antiquity.

Ancient Woodland - sites that have been continuously wooded since before 1750AD. Some of these may be primary, i.e. remnants of prehistoric woodlands, or secondary - on ground cleared sometime prior to 1750.

Ancient Woodland Inventory - a provisional guide to the location of Ancient Woodland produced by SNH. It contains three main categories of woodland – see individual definitions for Ancient Woodland, Long- established Woodland and semi-natural Woodland

Long-established Woodland - plantations or semi-natural woodland that came into existence between 1750 and 1860.

Semi-natural Woodland - predominantly trees and shrubs that are native to the site and are not obviously planted. It includes woodlands mapped after 1860 but with an earlier provenance.

Woodland - land of 0.25 has or more (and with a minimum width of 15 metres) under a stand of trees with, or the potential to achieve, tree canopy cover of 20% or more.

Hedgerow - any boundary line of trees or shrubs over 20m long and less than 5m wide between major woody stems at the base. Gaps should be taken into account (see: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hedgerow-survey-handbook).
