1 INTRODUCTION

This report presents the information gathered regarding the site of Zone A South of Race Course Road Located in the village of East Ayton North Yorkshire The site is currently an an arable field located at Grid reference SE 997 852 (appendices A figure 1)

The surveys objective was to outline any habitats present on the site and to assess any features which may be present which could support the presence of any notable protected species The survey will also note any other species or habitat that are of nature conservation importance or any non-native invasion species which may represent a constraint to development of the siteThis report provides an assessment of ecological constraints in relation to the redevelopment of the site in question and is the findings of the survey work carried out It may also provide recommended ecological enrichment plans and a mitigation strategy where required

12 Survey Information

During the month of March 2016 MWSurveys where commissioned by Dee Atkinson amp Harrison to undertake an ecological appraisal (phase 1 survey) of the site located at Grid reference SE 997 852 a property which resides in the District of North YorkshireThe survey was undertaken to assess the impact of a potential redevelopment of the site in question The development is to include site clearance for residential developmentThe ecological survey documented in this report was undertaken on the Thursday 17 March 2016 The survey was undertaken by experienced licensed ecologist Michael Wood (licence number 2015-14416-CLS-CLS)

13 Site Description

The survey site is approximately 42ha and is located south of Race Course Road East Ayton This is approximately 39miles South West of the Seaside town of Scarborough and it is 12 miles East of Historical town PickeringThe Landscape within 2km of the site is mostly arable agricultural land there is a large residential housing area too the north of the site Further North to that is a band of woodland known as Forge Valley Woods Nature Reserve this has a river running through it To all other directions of the site the landscape is primarily built up of Commercialised farm land The site is bordered directly to the North by an A Road and a residential housing estate further to the North Towards the East West and South of the site surveyed on this occasion is a continuance of arable farm land which has potential for redevelopment by a 3rd party There where no ponds located within a 500m radius of the site


2 Survey Methods Results and Assessment

21 Desktop Study and Record search A desk study which included Ecological Data requested from north amp East Yorkshire ecological data centre on Monday 25 April 2016 the search was to include all notable European Protected Species (EPS) within a 2km radius of the site listed above

22 Magic Map Search (httpmagicdefragovuk)The Magic Map internet service was examined for a 2km radius of the site During the search we where looking for locations of any notable areas designated for nature conservation these site are to include the following

bull Local Nature Reserves bull National Parks bull Sites of Special Scientific Interest bull Special Protection Areas bull Important Bird Areas bull National Nature Reservesbull Ramsar Sitesbull Special Conservation Areas bull Ancient Woodland

23 Flora Survey

Phase 1 habitat survey Took place on the 17 March 2016 The survey was carried out by the guidance of the standard Phase 1 Habitat Survey methodology (JNCC 2003) all dominant plant species where recorded along with any species which are either uncommon or an indication of particular habitat typesThe information recorded from the site survey was approximately mapped and can be found in appendices A The surveyor who carried out the site visit was Michael Wood

Controlled invasive species where surveyed as part of the Phase 1 Habitat survey there was a great deal of importance placed on noting any invasive non-native species including Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) and giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum)

24 Fauna SurveysBats

An initial survey of the site was carried out to identify the likelihood of bats using any features of the site surveyed During this process a number of factors where taken into consideration to include potential foraging Habitat potential flight corridors and potential features which may be used as a roost location The survey was carried out by a level 2 class 18 licensed Bat surveyor (licence number 2015-14416-CLS-CLS)

A few of the main aspects which the inspection covers are as followsBat droppings urine and grease stains food spoils and any other signs which provided evidence of a potential or actual roost location

During this area of the Survey bird nest may be located which can produce evidence of current bird nests or historic bird usage along with food spoils which would fall in line with owl species


Great Crested Newts

To fulfil the great created newt assessment of the site standing bodies of water where located using OSMaps and satellite images the survey then proceeded to complete a HSI score on any relevant area identified within 500 meters of the site the HSI assessment follows guidance from the National Amphibian and Reptile Recording Scheme (NARRS 2008 based on Oldham et al 2000)

The habitat suitability assessment uses ten key habitat criteria and is based on the assumption that habitat quality can be used as a tool to determine whether a water body is likely to contain great crested newts and the likely population size (Oldham et al 2000) The criteria are as follows

SI1 = Location SI2 = Pond area SI3 = Pond drying SI4 = Water quality SI5 = percentage of Perimeter shaded SI6 = Waterfowl on pondSI7 = Presence of fish SI8 = pond count SI9 = terrestrial lsquonewt friendlyrsquo habitat SI10 = macrophyte (aquatic plant) content

The 10 HSI score points are compiled with the following Equation giving a comparable figure to indicate if the likelihood of great created newts is present in the pond and an idea to a population count

HSI = (SI1 x SI2 x SI3 x SI4 x SI5 x SI6 x SI7 x SI8 x SI9 x SI10) 110

The figure created is then compared to the National Amphibian and Reptile Recording Scheme (NARRS 2008) and it is then categorised into one of the following 5 categories

Poor Below 05 Below average 05 ndash 059 Average 06 ndash 069 Good 07 ndash 079 Exceptional Above 08

Other Protected SpeciesAny other signs protected species which may be affected by the development of the site where noted during the field survey and any relevant action required was then undertakenThese species are to include the followingbull Badger


bull Reptiles

3 Results

31 Desktop Search The desktop search provided a list of useful information regarding the layout of the land surrounding the site indicating corridors suitable for wildlife and a number of barriers which stop the free movement of Wildlife The Desktop search also provided us with information regarding water bodies within the surrounding area of the site It was clearly evident that there where NO standing water bodies within a 500m radius of the site and therefor further amphibian surveys are not required

Desktop Data StudyA number of data sources where consulted to identify the areas around the site which indicate relevant ecological data in relation to the site being reported on The Sources consulted included the following North amp East Yorkshire Ecological Data Centre (NEYEDC) MAGIC Natural England and the National Biodiversity Network (NBN)

The desktop study Identified a number of areas which have favourable nature conservation value which lie within 2km radius of the Application site the sites identified are as follows

Statutory sites

Local Wildlife Sites (LWS)

The statutory and none statuary nature sites as listed above will not be implicated by the development to the application site This is due the small scale of the development and the distance between the application site and the Nature sites The distance from the application site is greater than 250m and there are previous Building development which obstruct a clear path to the Nature Sites


Map of Statutory and non statutory sites 11250

Site-based Habitat dataAll the Natural England Habitat inventories were searched including Woodland Inventory ampGrassland Inventory The following list of habitat inventories was then compiled from the results

The Habitat inventories as listed above will not be affected by the development of the application site due to the distance between the habitat and the application site being approximately 400m

32 Flora Surveys

Phase 1 Habitat AssessmentDuring the site Survey of the land located at SE 997 852 a number of habitat types where discover and identified under the Phase 1 Habitat system with clarification from the Phase 1 habitat Handbook (JNCC (2010) Handbook for Phase 1 habitat survey - a technique for environmental audit ISBN 0 86139 636 7) The habitats where as follows

bull Arable Land J11bull Intact Species Poor Hedge J212bull Fence - J24

Arable land is the predominant habitat on the site covering an area of approximately 42ha At the time of the survey the land appeared to be in used for Wheat production The substrate of the land was of a loamy construction and was evidently well drained with a lack of standing water The crop was clearly well maintained and did not show signs of arable weeds the land is subject to regular disturbance due to the nature of the agricultural industry and the need to


maintain and work the land for effective food production Activities which will effect the site will include but not limited to ploughing sowing harvesting and fertiliser application (organic or inorganic) There is also the application of Fungicide herbicide and insecticide to take into consideration of the ecological value of the site The listed practices above are all in line with common agricultural procedures and are necessary for annual crop production

The processes noted above which are part of the intensive agricultural management process reduces the ecological value of the application site there are still a number of species which may utilise arable land throughout an annual period to include brown hare wood pigeons and foxes all depending upon the crop in production This does not hold a restraint on the application site due to the abundant land of equal or greater habitat in the local vicinity

Intact species poor Hedge

Running along the northern boundary of the application site is a hedgerow which is predominantly made up of hawthorn Crataegus monogyne the hedge is unbroken along its length apart from a opening approximately 5m wide which creates and access point to the site for vehicles the hedgerow appears to be maintain in accordance with current agricultural practices and at the time of the survey had recently been cut with a flail mower the hedge stood approximately 2m tall and 2m wide

Fence

Along the Eastern boundary of the side was a post and rail fence constructed of timber with a galvanised steel stock netting on the lower section of the fence This fence does not impede on the movement of local wildlife

33 Fauna Surveys

The development of the site could impact on mobile species which utilise the the surrounding habitat and therefore the phase 1 survey targeted the following species which are relevant to the application site and the proposed development

bull Batsbull Great crested Newtsbull Badgerbull Reptilesbull Birds

Bats

When undertaking the site survey all aspects which could be associated with bats where identified Due to the location of the site and the site in question only having two physical boundaries including a hedgerow and a fence the possibility of bats utilising the habitat for roost purposed was negligible and no further survey work relation to bat was carried out as there was a complete lack of features which could be usedwhilst assessing the aerial photographs and the data recorded on site it is apparent that the application site posses low quality foraging and commuting habitat for bats it was also apparent that the wider areas poses greater foraging and habitat in the form of woodland and mature gardens


It is therefore concluded that no further activity reports regarding any of the EPS bats

Great Crested NewtsWhile completing the desktop research there where NO water bodies identified within a 500m radius of the site There were no records of GCN within a 1km Radius of the application site and the connectivity between the the closest confirm population of GCN is fragmented by arable land and urban habitat

Whilst on the site any suitable habitat types where assessed along with aerial images to assess wether the site has potential to support GCNRefuge search was also undertaken this included searching features which could be utilised by amphibians This may not be effected in quantifying presence and absence it can however be used as an indication of amphibians within the area The time of year in which the survey took place would mean GCN would either be migrating too breading ponds and therefore less likely to be found in hibernating situations

The results of the data collected shows no evidence of permanent water bodies which may be used for a breeding population and the wider area of the site shows poor quality hibernating features or translocating paths With there been no known breeding population of GCN within a 1km radius of the site and the lack of evidence to so there are any feature which could support a population of GCN

It is a conclusion that no further survey work need be carried out with regards to GCN

Reptiles The historical species record which were requested from the NEYEDC identified that slow worm and common lizard have been the only reptile species to be found within the wider area of the application site Both of the species identified are localised within North Yorkshire

There were no indications or observations of reptiles on the site visit it is unlikely to observe reptiles on a phase 1 survey without appropriate survey methodology it is also exceptionally unlikely to locate reptiles where the population is small or sparseFull walkover survey was undertaken to assess the site potential to support reptiles While undertaking the walkover survey the following was used to assess the suitability of the site to sustain reptiles

bull Vegetation structure ndash ideal reptile habitat has a variable structure with a mixture ofvegetation heights tangled or thorny areas mosaics bare patches lots of edges(lsquoecotonesrsquo) and good basking placesbull Extent ndash must be big enough area to support a population Small habitat patches can besufficient for lizards whereas snakes need larger areas (although grass snakes can crossunsuitable habitat)bull Aspect ndash sunny sheltered locations unshaded south-facingbull Topography - undulating topography banks hummocks hollows south-facing slopesgenerally not north-facing slopesbull Connectivity ndash essential to allow colonisation when habitat is created and recolonisationafter local extinctions For example if an area of good habitat is surrounded by intensivearable farmland reptiles might not be able to colonise itbull History ndash habitat that has been recently created might look deceptively good but it takes


time for reptiles to colonise and there must be connectivity with neighbouring areas where they are present

Due to the lack of connectivity and features to support reptiles within the application site it is not recommended that any further surveys relating to reptiles be carried out

Nesting birdsAll areas of the site were surveyed for evidence of nesting birds as it is illegal to deliberately harm kill or disturb a nesting bird The hedgerow along the north edge of the site provided provides suitable habitat for nesting birds There are numerous sitings of birds within a 2km radius of the site this can be seen in the data request obtained from the NEYEDC which is featured in the reportIt is concluded that nesting birds do not create a constraint on the development No further surveys are suggested however if any alterations are to be made to the hedge along the Northern boundary strict time limits are enforced work to the hedge can only be carried out between the months of October and February inclusive

4 Assessment of Development impact

FloraThe survey identified a number of different habitat within the application site boundary each of the habitat sites are known to be commonly found and contain little floral diversification For this reason it not necessary to complete any more botanical surveysThe Site development may cause a loss of hedgerow The hedgerows on the site are of poor quality They do however provide a UKBAP priority habitat The habitat type as specified in the UKBAP documentation is a Hedgerow The definition of such hedgerow is as follows(ldquoA hedgerow is defined as any boundary line of trees or shrubs over 20m long and less than 5m wide and where any gaps between the trees or shrub species are less that 20m wide (Bickmore 2002) Any bank wall ditch or tree within 2m of the centre of the hedgerow is considered to be part of the hedgerow habitat as is the herbaceous vegetation within 2m of the centre of the hedgerow All hedgerows consisting predominantly (ie 80 or more cover) of at least one woody UK native species are covered by this priority habitatrdquo (UKBAP 2007) )If no biodiversity action plan or an ecological enrichment scheme is put into place then there will be a loss of a UKBAP priority habitat

It is a recommendation that the hedgerow be retained or an equivalent hedgerow be planted to retain the amount of UKBAP priority habitat

FaunaBatsThe survey indicated that there was very little favourable habitat for bats within the application site boundary the only feature which is of benefit to bats is the hedgerow running along the northern boundary even this can be mitigated against with ease and the overall impact of the proposed development is minimal It is therefore a conclusion of the findings as laid out in this report that the proposed development holds a negligible impact of the EPS bats


GCNThe application site and its surrounding does not process any suitable water bodies which may be utilised by GCN The surroundings of the site possess little favourable habitat for GCN and therefore the Impact on GCN is NEGLIGIBLE No loss of water bodies will occur and there is no suitable commuting habitat for GCNTherefore the finding of the survey indicate that Great Crested Newts will not be negatively effected by the the development of the application site

ReptilesThe survey did not indicate the presence of any reptile species the survey data also concluded that the application site is not of favourable habitat for reptiles There is also a lack of connectivity For these reasons it is concluded that the application site will not effect the population of reptiles and there will not be a loss of suitable habitat

Nesting BirdsDue to the flora on the site including a hedgerow there could be a destruction of nesting birds habitat This impact is relevant if demolition is to occur during nesting season If a nest is destroyed in the nesting period an offence under the Wildlife amp Countryside Act 1981 would be committed

5 Conclusion and mitigation recommendations

FloraAs the development may cause the loss of a UKBAP habitat hedgerow to be destroyed it is recommended that a new hedgerow be planted elsewhere to fall inline with the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework The replacement hedge should be of equal or greater length to the existing hedgerow and should have be made up of a number of suitable native speciesIt is also a recommendation of the MWSurveys that the developer considers an ecological enrichment scheme to be put into place in accordance with the development site this should be assessed when final plans are put into place for the siteThere were no controlled invasive species discovered on the site and therefore no further action is required

FaunaBats

Due to the poor quality of bat related features on the site no mitigation is required for bats It is always advantageous for species enrichment to be carried out On this basis it is a recommendation of MWSurveys that a number of bat boxes be integrated into the properties which will be on the South and east of the development site MWSurveys should be contacted to suggest a suitable enrichment plan when a clear plan of the site is developed

GCNThere is a negligible effect of GCN and therefore no mitigation measure are required due habitats surrounding the site there are no suitable transport passages effect by the developmentAs a complete mitigation strategy MWSurveys request that the commencement of site activity is carried out outside the months of March - August this minimises any risk to nesting birds if further information is required The developer should contact a suitable Ecologist


After completing the surveys listed it is my opinion that the mitigation measures are beneficial to all EPS and fall in line with the National Planning Policy Framework and that a EPS license is NOT required as No roosts will be destroyed and the disturbance to any bats will Be minimal and inline with regular activities which would need to be held on a property of this nature Please be aware that these are the results observed on the day of each survey and that care should be taken when working within the application site If any protected species are to be found work should stop immediately MWSurveys and all other relevant associations should be notified immediatelyNo current Evidence of Nesting birds was discovered on the site and therefore it is not classed that development of the site will hold a negative effect to any avian speciesNo further Great Crested Newt surveys are required due to the reasons listed previously

The above recommendations and report is in result of consultation with one of the previously listed parties and that the reason for report is to fulfil obligations to be granted planning permission Copyright within the report remain the property of the author The survey results are correct on the day the surveys took place and results can be quantified for a period of 12 months if this time scale is to pass before development commences the property should be resurveyed

6 LEGISLATION AND POLICY GUIDANCE Relevent legislation All bat species are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) 1981 (as amended) the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and the Habitat Regulations 2010Under the WCA it is an offence for any person to intentionally kill injure or take any wild bat to intentionally disturb any wild bat while it is occupying a structure or place that it uses for shelter or protection to intentionally damage destroy or obstruct access to any place that a wild bat uses for shelter or protection to be in possession or control of any live or dead wild bat or any part of or anything derived from a wild bat or to sell offer or expose for sale or possess or transport for the purpose of sale any live or dead wild bat or any part of or anything derived from a wild bat

Under the Habitat Regulations 2010 it is an offence to (a) deliberately capture injure or kills any wild animal of a European protected species (EPS) (b) deliberately disturb wild animals of any such species (c)deliberately take or destroy the eggs of such an animal or (d)damages or destroys a breeding site or resting place of such an animal Deliberate disturbance of animals of a European protected species (EPS) includes in particular any disturbance which is likely to impair their ability (i) to survive to breed or reproduce or to rear or nurture their young or (ii) in the case of animals of a hibernating or migratory species to hibernate or migrate or to affect significantly the local distribution or abundance of the species to which they belongProsecution could result in imprisonment fines of pound5000 per animal affected and confiscation of vehicles and equipment used In order to minimize the risk of breaking the law it is essential to work with care to avoid harming bats to be aware of the procedures to be followed if bats are found during works and to commission surveys and expert advice as required to minimize the risk of reckless harm to bats

Licences Where it is proposed to carry out works which will damage destroy a bat roost or disturb bats to a significant degree an EPS license must first be obtained from the Natural England (even if no bats are expected to be present when the work is carried out) The application for a licence normally requires a full knowledge of the use of a site by bats including species numbers and timings Gathering this information usually involves surveying throughout the bat active season The license may require ongoing monitoring of the site following completion of the worksLicences can only be issued if Natural England are satisfied that there is no satisfactory alternative to the development and that the action authorised will not be detrimental to the maintenance of the population of the species at a favourable conservation status in their natural range

Planning and Wildlife The March 2012 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) has replaced PPS9 (Planning Policy Statement on Biodiversity and Geological Conservation) as the relevant national planning guidance in relation to ecological issuesPara 109 of NPPF states that the planning system should ldquocontribute to and enhance the natural and local environment by minimising impacts on biodiversity and providing net gains in biodiversity where possible contributing to the Governmentrsquos commitment to halt the overall decline in biodiversity including by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressuresrdquoPara 117 of NPPF states that the planning system should ldquopromote the preservation restoration and re-creation of priority habitats ecological networks and the protection and recovery of priority species populations linked to national and local targetsrdquo


Para 118 of NPPF states that ldquoWhen determining planning applications local planning authorities should aim to conserve and enhance biodiversity by applying the following principlesif significant harm resulting from a development cannot be avoided (through locating on an alternative site with less harmful impacts) adequately mitigated or as a last resort compensated for then planning permission should be refused proposed development on land within or outside a Site of Special Scientific Interest likely to have an adverse effect on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (either individually or in combination with other developments) should not normally be permitted Where an adverse effect on the sitersquos notified special interest features is likely an exception should only be made where the benefits of the development at this site clearly outweigh both the impacts that it is likely to have on the features of the site that make it of special scientific interest and any broader impacts on the national network of Sites of Special Scientific Interest development proposals where the primary objective is to conserve or enhance biodiversity should be permitted opportunities to incorporate biodiversity in and around developments should be encouraged planning permission should be refused for development resulting in the loss or deterioration of irreplaceable habitats including ancient woodland and the loss of aged or veteran trees found outside ancient woodland unless the need for and benefits of the development in that location clearly outweigh the loss Para 119 of the NPPF makes it clear that ldquoThe presumption in favour of sustainable development (paragraph 14) does not apply where development requiring appropriate assessment under the Birds or Habitats Directives is being considered planned or determinedrdquo Therefore EPS will still be a material consideration when considering sustainable developments The accompanying ODPM Circular 062005 remains pertinent circular 062005 is prescriptive in how planning officers should deal with protected species see paragraphs 98 and 99 bull The presence of a protected species is a material consideration when considering a proposal that if carried out would be likely to result in harm to the species or its habitat (see ODPMDefra Circular para 98) bull LPAs should consider attaching planning conditionsentering into planning obligations to enable protection of species They should also advise developers that they must comply with any statutory species protection issues affecting the site (ODPMDefra Circular para 98) bull The presence and extent to which protected species will be affected must be established before planning permission is granted If not a decision will have been made without all the facts (ODPMDefra Circular para 99) bull Any measures necessary to protect the species should be conditionedplanning obligations used before the permission is granted Conditions can also be placed on a permission in order to prevent development proceeding without a Habitats Regulations Licence (ODPMDefra Circular para 99) bull The need to ensure ecological surveys are carried out should therefore only be left to coverage under planning conditions in exceptional circumstancesrannt material considerations may not have been addressed in making the decisionrdquo Further to NPPF and OPDM Circular 062005 Section 40 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (2006) states that lsquoEvery public authority must in exercising its functions have regard so far as is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions to the purpose of conserving biodiversityrsquo Section 40(3) also states that lsquoconserving biodiversity includes in relation to a living organism or type of habitat restoring or enhancing a population or habitatrsquo
