Greatmoor Biodiversity Partnership Terms of Reference

GREATMOOR BIODIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP

TERMS OF REFERENCE

The Greatmoor Biodiversity Partnership (“the partnership”) has been established to facilitate the delivery of biodiversity mitigation and enhancement within the Greatmoor estate.

The partnership is an alliance of the landowner/operator of the Greatmoor waste facilities, statutory agencies, local authorities and voluntary or community organisations which have an interest in the biodiversity of the area. The partnership is the body responsible for guiding efforts to conserve and enhance the Greatmoor estate, through the provision of technical advice and support and guided by the Greatmoor Ecological Management Plan (“EMP”). The EMP will be used to regulate and monitor biodiversity actions on the estate.

The EMP will be delivered by the operator and its consultant ecologists, who will be accountable to the partnership. The partnership meets at least once a year to consider important issues related to the mitigation and enhancement of the estate and to review the EMP. Smaller technical or executive groups may meet more regularly to provide additional support on key issues.

The partnership will act as a conduit to other local organisations, conservation programmes and partnerships, sharing experiences, best practice, and seeking opportunities for landscape-scale biodiversity enhancement.

The partnership will be supported by a secretariat, provided by the landowner/operator of the Greatmoor facility.

Commitments made in the EMP that are required as mitigation and compensation for ecological impacts from the development of the Greatmoor Energy from Waste facility (EMP_v2, June 2012) will be funded by the operator of the facility. Where possible, the partnership will explore other funding streams to supplement this financial commitment to allow further biodiversity enhancements beyond those outlined in the 2012 EMP document.

It is expected that the partnership would be for 30 years.

FCC Environment UK Ltd. 1 421.00197.00831 Ecological Management Plan Monitoring Report March 2017

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

FCC Environment UK Ltd (FCC) gained planning consent for an Energy from Waste (EfW) facility at its Calvert Site in July 2012. The site of the new EfW plant and access road is located approximately 2km east of the village of Edgecott, approximately 14km northwest of Aylesbury. The access road stretches approximately 5km northsouth between Calvert and the A41 at Woodham (approximate Ordinance Survey grid references for the north and south ends of the road are (SP692240 and SP704181).

Through the planning process, FCC committed to the delivery of an Ecological Management Plan (EMP v2.2, June 2012), which details the ecological mitigation, enhancement and monitoring work that is planned during the construction and operation of the EfW. The approved EMP provides details for the first five years postconsent, although initial implementation of the plan was delayed by a Judicial Review, which prevented pre construction ecological mitigation work from commencing until 2013. Construction works commenced with the access road in late 2013. The EfW became fully operational during 2016.

Due to delays in the commencement of the construction and other project alterations, the EMP was updated in 2014 (EMP v3, Feb 2014).

1.2 Study Area

The new access road, which follows the route of a former railway line, is lined with trees and scrub along most of its length. Beyond this, the landscape is principally lowland mixed farmland with permanent grassland and arable. The landscape surrounding the Study Area is densely wooded, with the large blocks of ancient woodlands of Sheephouse Wood, Finemere Wood, Grendon Woods and Romer Wood dominating the landscape, often linked with small blocks of mature broadleaved woodland, planted broadleaved woodland and hedgerows. Adjacent to the EfW site are the flooded former gravel pits of the Calvert Brickworks, which are consented for landfilling, and the active landfill at Calvert. The Study Area has a relatively high density of field ponds.

The “MegaDitch”, which is believed to have originally been constructed as a surface water control feature for the future development of the clay extraction operation, dominates the northern boundary of the EfW facility and separates it from the Aylesbury Link Railway. The ditch is densely vegetated with scrub and aquatic plants. The habitat between the ditch and the railway line is a mosaic of scrub, unmanaged grassland and deciduous trees.

Lower Greatmoor Farm and its associated outbuildings, which is owned by FCC and close to the EfW facility, continues to be occupied by a tenant. The bungalow and gardens of Upper Greatmoor Farm were demolished in 2012.

1.3 Scope of This Report

In 2016, SLR Consulting Ltd (SLR) was commissioned by FCC to undertake monitoring surveys for great crested newt Triturus cristatus . Additional updates in respect to bats and habitat management and maintenance are also provided.

This report provides a summary of the results of ecological monitoring surveys undertaken in 2016; reports against the monitoring targets set in the EMP v3 and provides recommendations for future action on biodiversity at the site.

2.0 BATS

2.1 Introduction

This chapter of the report details the results and findings of bat surveys undertaken at the site during 2016.

Bat surveys consisted of dusk/dawn emergence surveys of Lower Greatmoor Farm, inspection of Lower Greatmoor Farm House (including the bat mitigation loft) for bat evidence to support an application for a bat licence for maintenance works at Lower Greatmoor Farm. A qualitative study of external lighting of the EfW was also undertaken in 2016 in response to queries from local stakeholders. A summary of the bat mitigation undertaken at Lower Greatmoor Farm and recommendations for further bat mitigation and enhancements are provided based on the outcomes of the monitoring surveys and other work on the estate in 2016 and 2017

2.2 Methods

All bat surveys were undertaken in accordance with good practice guidelines 1. .

2.2.1 Bat Mitigation Loft Inspection Lower Greatmoor Farm

The bat loft at Lower Greatmoor Farm was inspected for evidence of use by bats. An inspection was conducted by Rebecca Hendry, MCIEEM CEnv, a Senior Ecologist with SLR, on the 4 th May 2016. A second inspection of loft was conducted by Emily Drinkwater, GRADCIEEM, a Senior Field Ecologist at SLR on the 6th February 2017. The inspection surveys entailed a search for evidence of bat activity, including: • bats or dead bats; • staining within the loft, caused by the natural oils in bat fur; • scratch marks around the access hole to the loft caused by bat claws; and • bat droppings or a characteristic odour of bats within the bat loft.

Samples of any bat droppings found within the mitigation loft (or elsewhere in Lower Greatmoor Farm) would be collected and sent to an accredited laboratory for DNA analysis for species confirmation.

2.2.2 Dusk/dawn emergence survey – Lower Greatmoor Farm

Dusk and dawn emergence surveys were conducted at Lower Greatmoor Farm on the 8 th and 9 th September 2015, with results reported in 2015 monitoring report.

Dusk emergence and dawn reentry surveys were conducted at Lower Greatmoor Farm on the 4 th and 5 th May 2016 by Rebecca Hendry (details as above), assisted by John Mason. John is an Assistant Ecologist at SLR with significant bat survey experience.

The two surveyors were positioned in strategic locations to cover the building to observe any bats emerging or reentering. Dusk activity surveys commenced 15 minutes before sunset and concluded at least 90 minutes after sunset. The surveyors recorded all bat activity using frequency division and heterodyne bat detector equipment, identifying bats to species where possible. Recordings were made and the species later confirmed through computer analysis. Dawn surveys were undertaken from 90 minutes before sunrise until sunrise.

2.2.3 Review of External Lighting of EfW Facility

Concerns about the potential impacts upon bats as a result of operational nighttime lighting at the EfW facility were raised by BBOWT following a photograph taken by a member of the public in August 2016. Following discussions with FCC, SLR undertook an assessment of the facility on 15 th September 2016. This assessment commenced just before sunset and concluded approximately 1 hour after. The walkover survey, conducted by an experienced ecologist, was designed to provide a qualitative assessment of the likely impact of lighting on key bat commuting routes. No bat survey was undertaken.

2.2.4 Bat Box Monitoring

Bat boxes were not checked in 2016.

Bat box checks were conducted on the 24 th February 2017 by Emily Drinkwater (details as above) assisted by Robert Lawrence. Robert is an Assistant Ecologist at SLR with significant bat survey experience. The location of the bat boxes and the results of the monitoring survey are detailed in Table 21 below.

2.2.5 Survey Limitations

The dawn survey temperature was lower than is optimal for such surveys: 4 oC at the start and falling thereafter. However, since the dusk survey was undertaken during ideal conditions (no wind and 14 oC), this is not considered to affect the conclusions.

2.3 Results

2.3.1 Building Inspection – Lower Greatmoor Farm

There was no evidence of bats using the artificial bat loft within the roof space of Lower Greatmoor Farm on 4 th May 2016 or on 6 th February 2017.

2.3.2 Dusk/dawn emergence survey – Lower Greatmoor Farm

The dusk/dawn survey at Lower Greatmoor Farm did not detect any bats emerging from or reentering the artificial bat loft.

Lowlevels of bat activity were recorded on the dusk visit, with two common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus ) bats being recorded entering beneath a tile on the porch at 2150. No bats were seen to exit the property and no other species recorded. No bats were recorded during the subsequent dawn survey, and the two bats noted to enter the porch were no longer in evidence.

Summary details of each survey period are provided in Table 21 below.

2.4 Summary of Maintenance Work and Bat Mitigation undertaken at Lower Greatmoor Farm

The Grade II listed farmhouse at Lower Greatmoor required urgent maintenance to its roof and other external features, these works included replacement of up to 10 tiles.

Maintenance work was considered to potentially destroy a roost on the main roof slope identified during surveys in 2015, and to temporarily impact upon the bat roost at the porch, and therefore the works proceeded under licence issued by Natural England (Low Impact Class Licence reference no: RC124402B. Site registered by Jess Colebrook, Natural England Registered Consultant Ref No: RC124).

SLR FCC Environment UK Ltd. 5 421.00197.00831 Ecological Management Plan Monitoring Report March 2017

Work was completed under the licence on 29 th July 2016, under the guidance of Dale Broadbent (RC016). No evidence of roosting bats was noted at the areas which were subject to repair. The porch roost remained unaffected. The Licence return form was submitted to Natural England on 10 th August 2016.

Further works to the building were required in 2017; these works included a damp proof course and plastering of the internal walls. None of the areas identified as roosts as above are to be affected during the works.

2.5 Review of External Lighting of EfW Facility

FCC has reviewed the lighting at the EfW Facility and confirmed that the lighting at the facility was installed in accordance with the plans agreed through the planning process. All internal building lights are on timed Passive InfraRed (PIR) detectors and only operate when someone is in the building. FCC has reminded night staff to close internal blinds after dusk to prevent light spill from the building whilst occupied. The plant does run 24/7, so there is a night shift on at all times. So some lighting inside the building is inevitable, but these measures should reduce light spill from the building. Timers are installed on external lights, e.g. in car parks, and these are designed to dim during the night. FCC has checked to confirm that these dimmers are working correctly. FCC has confirmed that all other lights, including the low level bollard lights are functioning normally and as designed.

The walkover lighting assessment reviewed the facility lights from both Lower Greatmoor Farm, approximately 200m south, and from directly within the compound itself. It concluded that whilst lighting from the EfW facility; which includes road bollard lighting, column lighting in carparks and lighting within the building; was visible from Lower Greatmoor Farm, it was low intensity and not considered likely to adversely affect bat movements locally. There is no lighting associated with the facility on the access road. There was nothing to suggest that the lighting had been modified from the designs approved at the planning stage which had been subject to review by an ecologist.

External Sodiumtype floodlights on Lower Greatmoor Farm are operated by the tenant farmer when necessary. When operational, these lights are considered to be bright and have potential to affect bats. Detailed bat surveys of the building in 2016 indicate that bat usage at the farm is similar to baseline levels reported in 2012.

2.6 Discussion

Bat surveys conducted in 2016 and 2017 found no evidence of bats using the bat loft created within Lower Greatmoor Farm. However, a lack of evidence of bats using this feature to date does not mean that these mitigation actions have been unsuccessful. Bats may take a number of years to find new roost sites; especially if roost sites are abundant in the local area, and longterm research indicates that boxes may take 25 years to be occupied by bats, whereas newly created mitigation can take 5 – 10 years to be utilised.

Survey evidence that confirmed the continued use of the roofing tiles of Lower Greatmoor Farm by common pipistrelle is positive. It is considered that roofing maintenance work undertaken in 2016 will have retained bat access to potential roosting sites in the roof tiles and will have retained the porch tile roost undisturbed. An inspection of the roof tiles and porch and Greatmoor Farm will be completed in 2017 once access with the tenants has been arranged.

Bat box checks conducted on 24 th February 2017 recorded the presence of a single brown longeared bat (Plecotus auritus) within a 1FF bat box. A single Myotis bat (“small bat with medium sized ears”) was also recorded roosting in a tree along the access road (Grid

SLR FCC Environment UK Ltd. 6 421.00197.00831 Ecological Management Plan Monitoring Report March 2017

Reference: SP708193) . It was not possible to give a more accurate identification due to the position of the bat high up in the cavity of the tree and because the surveyor did not wish to disturb a potentially hibernating bat. A map and grid reference of the bat records and box locations are shown on Drawing 1.

Approximately 10 of the boxes are now missing, so it is recommended that replacements are purchased and reinstalled.

2.7 Recommendations

The bat loft is well constructed with numerous features suitable for brown longeared and pipistrelle bat. However, there is currently no hatch over the access point to the loft and this may be reducing the suitability of the loft to support bats, by allowing greater levels of light, noise and airflow into the roost area. It is therefore recommended that a 45cm x 45cm lockable hatch/door is installed over the access point in order to seal off the loft from the workshop below. Additionally, the narrow opening for bats to access the loft is considered too large and as a result is likely to be resulting in greater levels of light and airflow into the loft than is optimal. It is therefore recommended that aperture of the bat access to the loft is decreased to 30mm wide x 100mm long by securing additional pieces of wood around the edge of the original access hole in order to decrease its dimensions. A simple wooden baffle fitted around the top of the opening may also reduce light spill and airflow into the loft.

In order to encourage bat roosting within the bat boxes on site it is recommended that the 2FN boxes are fitted with bird baffles. This will reduce the likelihood of birds roosting or nesting in the boxes, thereby increasing the likelihood that bats will use them for roosting. Baffles are cheap to make or purchase and could easily be installed at the same time as next box check scheduled for spring 2019. It is recommended that at least 10 bat boxes, of a similar type to that installed originally, and companion bird boxes are installed in order to replace the bat boxes that could not be located during the 2017 survey. Any bat boxes without companion bird boxes should have companion bird boxes erected in spring 2019 at the latest.

2.8 Progress against Monitoring Targets

Table 22 below summarises progress against mitigation, compensation and enhancement measures agreed in the EMP.

Lighting is Access Road considered to be in accordance with the designs and considered unlikely to affect bat movements across or within the site.

Longterm monitoring surveys of the bat boxes and bat loft have been committed to in years 10, 15, 20, 25 and year 30. Monitoring surveys will be designed to measure against the following 30year targets:

1. Confirmed regular roosting of common pipistrelle and brown longeared bats at Lower Greatmoor Farm barn, i.e. evidence of roost use every five years by at least 1 individual from each species.

2. 25% of bat boxes to have been used at least once by the end of the plan period, with at least three different species being recorded.

3. Evidence of bat use of hibernacula every five years by at least one bat species in winter.

2.9 Conclusion

The surveys indicate that bats have yet to begin using the bat loft. However, at this early stage after implementation the mitigation cannot be considered unsuccessful, as research has shown that bats may take a number of years to find and begin using new roost sites. A single brown longeared bat was recorded within a bat box during the 2017 survey which is very positive and suggests that uptake in occupation by bats should steadily increase over the new few years.

Recommendations to further improve bat mitigation at the site, i.e. minor modification to the bat loft access, replacing bat boxes and fitting bird baffles to the bat boxes, have been made. Consultations with the tenant farmer are ongoing about improving bat mitigation at Lower Greatmoor and to seek to modify the lighting.

Longterm monitoring will be important to judge the ultimate success of the mitigation.

4.0 GREAT CRESTED NEWTS

4.1 Introduction

Accessible ponds within 500m of the EfW plant and new access road (the survey area) were surveyed for great crested newts ( Triturus cristatus ) in 2008, 2010 and 2011 to establish the baseline population of this species in the area. The results of these surveys confirmed that 27 ponds in the survey area were used by great crested newts (Ponds 1, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 24, 25, 30, 38, 41, 42, 49, 50, 54, 72, 78, 79, 80, 90, 111 and 113. See Drawing 3 and 4 for pond locations).

A European Protected Species (EPS) licence (Current Natural England Ref: 20141238 EPSMIT October 2014) was originally issued for the site 28 th September 2012 to allow the capture and translocation of great crested newts from terrestrial habitats within the route of the EfW access road and EfW construction area. The licence documents were modified on a number of occasions between September 2012 and October 2014. The principal periods of capture of great crested newts was in October 2012, between April and June 2013 and with a further capture undertaken in September October 2014. A total of 457 great crested newts were captured and translocated to suitable habitats within specified receptor sites as a result of all mitigation works.

Monitoring of great crested newt ponds, mitigation habitats and features is a condition of the EPS licence and this section sets out the results of the monitoring work undertaken in 2016.

4.2 Scope of Great Crested Newt Surveys

The aim of monitoring is to determine the status of great crested newt populations within the area of the Greatmoor development, through survey of selected ponds within FCC’s landholding and where access arrangements have been agreed. Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) Assessment was also undertaken at accessible ponds within FCC’s ownership in spring 2016.

There is a specific monitoring commitment under the EPS licence for presence/absence surveys at specific ponds within the site. These results will be reported back to Natural England.

The ponds subject to surveys and updated HSI assessments in 2016 are listed in Table 42 below.

4.3 Survey Methods

4.3.1 Pond Scoping Study

In 2016, a review of 2015 surveys, site drawings, aerial photographs and Ordnance Survey maps identified 31 ponds which were subject to initial field visits to scope suitability for detailed survey. Suitable ponds were subject to presence/ absence surveys.

4.3.2 Great Crested Newt Habitat Suitability Index (HSI)

Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) assessments were updated, where appropriate, for all 31 ponds identified in the scoping study. In some cases, ponds were found to have dried up completely, such that they are no longer ponds and in these cases HSI was not undertaken.

HSI followed the methods developed by Oldham, Keeble, Swan & Jeffcote (2000) 3 for quantifying the likelihood of great crested newts being present in waterbodies. The ponds

SLR FCC Environment UK Ltd. 10 421.00197.00831 Ecological Management Plan Monitoring Report March 2017 were assessed against the ten criteria below to generate ten habitat scores. These scores were then used to calculate an overall Habitat Suitability Index for each pond.

• Location in the landscape • Waterbody area • How often waterbody dries out • Water quality • Percentage of the pond perimeter shaded • Waterfowl presence • Fish presence • Number of waterbodies within 1km (not separated from site by barriers) • Quality of terrestrial habitat • Percentage of waterbody surface covered by aquatic vegetation

The resulting HSI is then used to classify the suitability of each waterbody for great crested newts into one of the following categories:

• <0.5 = Poor • 0.50.59 = Below average • 0.60.69 = Average • 0.70.79 = Good • >0.8 = Excellent

4.3.3 Great Crested Newt Presence/ Absence Pond Survey

In accordance with the EPS licence monitoring strategy, ponds within the zone of influence of the EfW plant and the new access road where access had been agreed were subject to postdevelopment monitoring in 2016. Ponds were surveyed on up to four occasions. When great crested newt presence was detected, no further surveys were undertaken at that pond.

The ponds were surveyed for great crested newts using torching, bottle trapping and egg searching methods, as described in the Great Crested Newt Mitigation Guidelines (Natural England, 2001). Each pond was surveyed in May and June 2016. Where possible, three different pond survey methods were used on each visit, i.e. bottletrapping, torch searching and egg searching. Table 32 presents a summary of the methods used to survey each pond. It should be noted that, as reported in 2015, water levels in many of the ponds were low and variable and bottle traps could not be used in all of the ponds during all of the survey visits. Furthermore, the bottle traps could not always be set at regular intervals around the pond margins due to dense vegetation; instead the bottle traps were set in locations where the water was deep enough.

A record was made of the minimum overnight temperatures and traps were only set when the temperature was above 5ºC. Traps constructed from twolitre plastic bottles were secured around the pond using a cane. Traps were set in the evening and retrieved the following morning. Any newts found were identified, counted and recorded before being released.

A search of the waterbodies was then conducted by torch light at night. All accessible stretches of the waterbodies were walked slowly. Approximately 2m sections of the ponds/ditches were surveyed at any one time using highpowered torches.

Finally, submerged aquatic vegetation was searched for great crested newt eggs, which are wrapped in the leaves of aquatic plants. The search was undertaken in daylight after the bottletraps had been retrieved.

SLR FCC Environment UK Ltd. 11 421.00197.00831 Ecological Management Plan Monitoring Report March 2017

Constraints to pond surveys in each individual pond are outlined in Table 42.

Although the aim of the study was to determine presence or absence of great crested newts, peak counts of great crested newts and presence of other amphibian species were also recorded and are reported below.

4.4 Survey Personnel and Laboratory Analysis

Pond surveys were carried out by Jess Colebrook MCIEEM CEnv, who is registered to conduct surveys for great crested newts by Natural England (Ref: 2015 17238CLSCLS).

4.5 Limitations

A number of ponds could not be fully surveyed because of access restrictions from dense bankside scrub. Shallow water, turbidity and aquatic vegetation also restricted surveys in some ponds. Specific limitations are mentioned in the results table below. In general, it is considered that the survey effort and approach was sufficient to meet the scope described above.

4.6 Results

Results of great crested newt surveys undertaken at the site in 2016 are summarized in Table 42 below. Drawing 3 and 4 provides a location plan for all ponds that have been subject to some form of survey since 2008. Some of the ‘ponds’ shown on this drawing are no longer present.

4.6.1 Great Crested Newt Habitat Suitability Index (HSI)

Out of the 31 ponds surveyed, two were assessed as excellent, none classified as good, twelve classified as average, six classified as below average and five as poor quality for great crested newts.

When compared to the previous HSI assessments for the same ponds, there have been both declines and improvements in quality in individual ponds within the local pondscape. The most notable improvements have been in the mitigation ponds in Area B (Ponds B1i, B1ii, B2, B3 and B4). All these ponds were subject to maintenance to enhance suitability for breeding great crested newts in August 2015. Photographs of before and after are presented in Table 44 below. Pond Ci has declined in quality since it was created in 2011, dense reed mace and siltation means that the pond is now dry throughout most of the year.

The new ponds (B1a, B1b, B2, B3 and B4) are now classified as being of average suitability for great crested newts, restricted by poor water quality (turbidity) and a lack of aquatic vegetation (macrophyte cover). Macrophytes are becoming more established in these ponds and it is likely that turbidity observed in spring was due in part to recent rainfalls. In general terms, these ponds are considered suitable to support amphibian breeding.

4.7 Discussion – Great Crested Newt Populations

Great crested newts were confirmed as present in five of the sixteen ponds subject to detailed presence/absence survey in 2016. These were Ponds 20, 38, 72, B1ii, B3.

Pond 72 supported the highest population of great crested newts with a peak count of 13 individuals being recorded, a medium population. Pond 72 and 38 both recorded GCN present and these two ponds remain a stronghold for the species locally.

SLR FCC Environment UK Ltd. 16 421.00197.00831 Ecological Management Plan Monitoring Report March 2017

Great crested newt populations in ponds around the EfW development remain small, with presence only recorded in Pond 20 and Ponds B1ii and B3 in Mitigation Area B. Pond 6 supported great crested newts in 2011, but no great crested newts were recorded in 2015 or 2016 and, in spite of high habitat suitability, great crested newts are considered no longer present in this pond. Small numbers of great crested newts were recorded in newly enhanced mitigation ponds in Mitigation Area B, which is promising.

Great crested newts were not recorded in any of mitigation ponds in Mitigation Area C, although surveys in these ponds where constrained and one of the ponds (Ci) has succeeded to damp swampy habitat and is unlikely to be suitable for breeding amphibians in its current state.

4.8 Monitoring of Great Crested Newt Underpasses

A visual check of the great crested newt underpasses was undertaken during site visits in 2016. All underpasses are considered to be fit for purpose. Permanent guide fencing is in place, although regular maintenance of this fencing is required to ensure that it is functional.

No amphibians were observed in any underpasses, although deer, probably Muntjac, had used the crossing near the A41.

Figure 41 – Newt Underpass nearest A41 Roundabout

4.9 Enhancement of Habitats in Mitigation Area H

A new pond measuring approximately 20m x 10m was created on 31 st May 2016. The initial breaking of ground work was supervised by Jess Colebrook, who searched the area for potential hibernacula/great crested newts, prior to ground disturbance. No great crested newts were found within the area and excavation was undertaken by a 360 excavator over a period of two days. Grass cutting/topping to reduce the dominance of ruderal vegetation was undertaken and a new hedgerow was planted on the eastern boundary.

Mitigation measures within Area H accord to the designs set out in Drawing EMP7 (April 2013)

Figure 43 – Mitigation Area H after Pond Construction (24 th August 2016)

4.10 Recommendations

Although pond succession is a natural process, it is recommended that those ponds which have become silted up, or been excessively encroached by scrub within the control of FCC (e.g. Ponds 2, 23, 30, 41 and 80) are subject to scrub clearance and reprofiling during the winter months. Pond enhancements to those in Mitigation Area C are not proposed due to the likely loss of these ponds as a result of High Speed Two construction in the area.

Great crested newts were confirmed as present in five ponds surveyed in 2016. Great crested newts were not observed in mitigation ponds in Mitigation Area C and Pond 6. Terrestrial and aquatic habitat enhancements have been delivered in Mitigation Area B and Mitigation Area H. Further habitat enhancements, especially larger scale landscape works are proposed in 2017, although some existing commitments may need to be revised because of other development projects in the locality.

6.3 Recommendations

It is recommended that the prescriptions for habitat management and enhancements within the Ecological Management Plan are updated in response to the results of the 2015 breeding bird surveys. The following prescriptions for enhancing habitats with FCC’s control may assist in increasing the habitat quality for target bird species in the future:

• New foraging habitats for turtle dove could be created alongside mature woodland edges. The provision of approximately 6m wide strips of wild bird cover crops along

SLR FCC Environment UK Ltd. 22 421.00197.00831 Ecological Management Plan Monitoring Report March 2017

the field margins. These areas should be sown with a biennial mix of seedbearing plants such as kale Brassica oleracea , cereal and quinoa Chenopodium quinoa . At least four plots are recommended, two per year during alternate years, so that some seed is available in the spring every year. A low seed rate should be used to create an open crop, which will give turtle dove access to the ground as well as allowing some weeds to germinate and seed. Such measures would also benefit other seed eating farmland birds, such as yellowhammer and linnet and would boost passerine numbers across the site by increasing winter survival. • Additional areas of dense scrub and hedgerow could be planted to provide nesting sites for passerines. • Existing hedgerows along the access road could be gapped up and managed to promote a dense A shaped structure to provide more cover to nesting birds. It is recognised that scrub management alongside the access road needs to balance this recommendation with the requirements of invertebrates. • The new ponds and wet ditches could be stocked with aquatic plants to encourage the invertebrates that yellow wagtail and other insectivorous birds require.

6.4 Conclusions

No additional surveys for birds have been undertaken in 2016. Recommendations for habitat enhancements for seed eating birds and other species are provided and, these will be considered during ongoing land management discussions with tenant farmers and in updates to the Ecological Management Plan.

7.7 Conclusion

Data available for this report are not sufficient to draw substantial conclusions regarding population changes. Ongoing monitoring and management of the blackthorn scrub resource should be maintained in accordance with the agreed targets to ensure a suitable distribution of habitat for key species. Enhancements to open rail ballast habitats in Mitigation Area H are expected to benefit invertebrates of conservation importance and long term maintenance of this area is required.
