4.3 Vulnerability English Nature is working with local regulatory bodies to identify relevant issues through the Sensitive Marine Area (SMA) Project. From 1 July, 1998, this work will form the basis for the development of the joint European marine site management scheme for the SPA and SAC. A Management Group (involving Relevant Authorities) has already been established for the SMA Project and will continue to progress work on the Natura 2000 site. English Nature will continue to work on the setting of conservation objectives; identify key human activities which may affect the ornithological interest; identify the necessary survey management and monitoring systems; and increase the awareness of those most closely involved in the use and management of the SPA and SAC.

Annex I habitats that are a primary reason for selection of this site

1170 Reefs Flamborough Head has been selected for the presence of species associated with the chalk and

for the site’s location at the southern limit of distribution of several northern species. It lies close to the biogeographic boundary between two North Sea waterbodies and encompasses a large area of hard and soft chalk on the east coast of England. The site covers around 14% of UK and 9% of European coastal chalk exposure, represents the most northern outcrop of chalk in the UK, and includes bedrock and boulder reefs which extend further into deeper water than at other subtidal chalk sites in the UK, giving one of the most extensive areas of sublittoral chalk in Europe. The

reefs and cliffs on the north side of the headland are very hard, resulting in, for example, the presence of many overhangs and vertical faces, a feature uncommon in sublittoral chalk. The

clarity of the relatively unpolluted sea water and the hard nature of the chalk have enabled kelp Laminaria hyperborea forests to become established in the shallow sublittoral. The reefs to the north support a different range of species from those on the slightly softer and more sheltered

south side of the headland. The site supports an unusual range of marine species and includes rich animal communities and some species that are at the southern limit of their North Sea

distribution, e.g. the northern alga Ptilota plumosa. For these reasons, the sublittoral and littoral reef habitats at Flamborough are considered to be the most diverse in the UK.

1230 Vegetated sea cliffs of the Atlantic and Baltic Coasts Flamborough is an east coast representative of hard chalk cliffs, which occur more frequently on the south coast of England. The vegetation of east coast cliff sites is typically less influenced by

salt deposition and there are few such areas with predominantly limestone vegetation. Flamborough Head is an exception and is therefore important for the conservation of calcareous cliff vegetation. Maritime vegetation is local and occurs where topography increases salt spray

deposition. Elsewhere the chalk substrate supports calcareous grassland communities. Towards the eastern end of the site the chalk is masked by drift deposits, which support mesotrophic and

acidic grassland communities. 8330 Submerged or partially submerged sea caves

There are larger numbers and a wider range of cave habitats at Flamborough than at any other chalk site in Britain. This site, on the east coast of England, represents caves of the North Sea coast cut into soft rock exposures and is important for its specialised cave algal communities,

which contain abundant Hildenbrandia rubra, Pseudendoclonium submarinum, Sphacelaria nana and Waerniella lucifuga. There are more than 200 caves within the site, particularly around the

headland and on the north-facing cliffs. Some of these caves are partially submerged at all stages of the tide, others dry out at low tide, and some lie above the high water mark but are heavily

influenced by wave splash and salt spray from the sea. The largest caves are known to extend for more than 50 m from their entrance on the coast.

Annex II species that are a primary reason for selection of this site Not applicable.

Annex II species present as a qualifying feature, but not a primary reason for site selection Not applicable.

7120 Degraded raised bogs still capable of natural regeneration

Like Thorne Moors, Hatfield Moors is a remnant of the once-extensive bog and fen peatlands within the Humberhead

Levels, and is still the second-largest area of extant lowland raised bog peat in England. Moraines of sand occur

beneath the peat, the largest of which forms Lindholme Island, in the centre of the bog. Little, if any, original bog surface

has survived the massive extraction of peat over the last few decades. Peat-cutting has now ceased, and the bog is

being restored over its remaining minimum average depth of 0.5 m of peat.

Refugia of vegetation have survived as rather dry heathland and as birch Betula woodland. Plants include the dwarf shrubs Calluna

vulgaris, Erica tetralix, Eriophorum angustifolium, E. vaginatum, Vaccinium oxycoccos, bog-rosemary Andromeda polifolia, bog-myrtle

Myrica gale, and the bog-mosses Sphagnum cuspidatum, S. recurvum, S. papillosum, S. subnitens and S. tenellum. The bog is also

notable for its invertebrate fauna, which includes the mire pill beetle Curimopsis nigrita.

12. General overview of the site: Provide a short paragraph giving a summary description of the principal ecological characteristics and importance of the wetland. The Humber Estuary is the largest macro-tidal estuary on the British North Sea coast. It drains a catchment of some 24,240 square kilometres and is the site of the largest single input of freshwater from Britain into the North Sea. It has the second-highest tidal range in Britain (max 7.4 m) and approximately one-third of the estuary is exposed as mud or sand flats at low tide. The inner estuary supports extensive areas of reedbed with areas of mature and developing saltmarsh backed in places by limited areas of grazing marsh in the middle and outer estuary. On the north Lincolnshire coast the saltmarsh is backed by low sand dunes with marshy slacks and brackish pools. The Estuary regularly supports internationally important numbers of waterfowl in winter and nationally important breeding populations in summer. 13. Ramsar Criteria: Circle or underline each Criterion applied to the designation of the Ramsar site. See Annex II of the Explanatory Notes and Guidelines for the Criteria and guidelines for their application (adopted by Resolution VII.11).

1, 3, 5, 6, 8




14. Justification for the application of each Criterion listed in 13 above: Provide justification for each Criterion in turn, clearly identifying to which Criterion the justification applies (see Annex II for guidance on acceptable forms of justification).

Ramsar criterion 1 The site is a representative example of a near-natural estuary with the following component habitats: dune systems and humid dune slacks, estuarine waters, intertidal mud and sand flats, saltmarshes, and coastal brackish/saline lagoons. It is a large macro-tidal coastal plain estuary with high suspended sediment loads, which feed a dynamic and rapidly changing system of accreting and eroding intertidal and subtidal mudflats, sandflats, saltmarsh and reedbeds. Examples of both strandline, foredune, mobile, semi-fixed dunes, fixed dunes and dune grassland occur on both banks of the estuary and along the coast. The estuary supports a full range of saline conditions from the open coast to the limit of saline intrusion on the tidal rivers of the Ouse and Trent. Wave exposed sandy shores are found in the outer/open coast areas of the estuary. These change to the more moderately exposed sandy shores and then to sheltered muddy shores within the main body of the estuary and up into the tidal rivers. The lower saltmarsh of the Humber is dominated by common cordgrass Spartina anglica and annual glasswort Salicornia communities. Low to mid marsh communities are mostly represented by sea aster Aster tripolium, common saltmarsh grass Puccinellia maritima and sea purslane Atriplex portulacoides communities. The upper portion of the saltmarsh community is atypical, dominated by sea couch Elytrigia atherica (Elymus pycnanthus) saltmarsh community. In the upper reaches of the estuary, the tidal marsh community is dominated by the common reed Phragmites australis fen and sea club rush Bolboschoenus maritimus swamp with the couch grass Elytrigia repens (Elymus repens) saltmarsh community. Within the Humber Estuary Ramsar site there are good examples of four of the five physiographic types of saline lagoon. Ramsar criterion 3 The Humber Estuary Ramsar site supports a breeding colony of grey seals Halichoerus grypus at Donna Nook. It is the second largest grey seal colony in England and the furthest south regular breeding site on the east coast. The dune slacks at Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe on the southern extremity of the Ramsar site are the most north-easterly breeding site in Great Britain of the natterjack toad Bufo calamita.

General description of the Physical Features:

The Humber estuary is approximately 70 km long from the limit of saline intrusion on the River Ouse at Boothferry to the estuary mouth at Spurn Head, where it enters the North Sea. The area of the estuary is approx. 365 km2, and it has a width of 6.6 km at the mouth.

The Humber is a macro-tidal estuary with a tidal range of 7.4 m, the second-largest range in the UK and comparable to other macro-tidal estuaries worldwide. It is a shallow and well mixed estuary, with an average depth of 6.5m rising to 13.2 m at the mouth.




The Humber is the second-largest coastal plain estuary in the UK, and the largest coastal plain estuary on the east coast of Britain. Suspended sediment concentrations are high, and are derived from a variety of sources, including marine sediments and eroding boulder clay along the Holderness coast. This is the northernmost of the English east coast estuaries whose structure and function is intimately linked with soft eroding shorelines.

Upstream from the Humber Bridge, the navigation channel undergoes major shifts from north to south banks. This section of the estuary is noteworthy for extensive mud and sand bars, which in places form semi-permanent islands.

The estuary covers the full salinity range from fully marine at the mouth of the estuary (Spurn Head) to the limit of saline intrusion on the Rivers Ouse and Trent) ). A salinity gradient from north to south bank is observed in the outer estuary, due to the incoming tide flowing along the north bank, while the fresh water keeps to the south bank as it discharges to the sea. As salinity declines upstream, reedbeds and brackish saltmarsh communities fringe the estuary..

17. Physical features of the catchment area: Describe the surface area, general geology and geomorphological features, general soil types, general land use, and climate (including climate type).

The Humber catchment covers an area of ca. 24,240 km2, more than 20% of the land area of England. Average annual precipitation in the upland areas of the catchment is as much as 1000 mm. Average freshwater flow into the Humber estuary from the rivers is 250 m3s-1, ranging from 60 m3s-1 in drier periods to 450 m3s-1 in wet periods. Peak flows of up to 1500 m3s-1 have been recorded during floods. The rivers Trent and Ouse, which provide the main fresh water flow into the Humber, drain large industrial and urban areas to the south and west (River Trent), and less densely populated agricultural areas to the north and west (River Ouse). The Trent/Ouse confluence is known as Trent Falls. On the north bank of the Humber estuary the principal river is the river Hull, which flows through the city of Kingston-upon-Hull, and has a tidal length of 32 km, up to the Hempholme Weir. The Hull provides only about 1% of the freshwater input to the estuary. On the south bank, the River Ancholme enters the Humber at South Ferriby, but the tide is excluded by a sluice and a tidal lock. Altogether, the total tidal length of rivers and estuary is 313 km. There are several major urban centres within the river catchments. Nottingham, Leicester, and the West Midlands/Birmingham conurbation are drained by the Trent, the Leeds-Bradford area in West Yorkshire is drained by the Aire/Calder and the Sheffield/Rotherham/Doncaster area in South Yorkshire is drained by the Don. There are also large rural regions, whose populations are currently experiencing high population growth, while the urban areas are showing a small decline. The 1992 population for the Ouse catchment was 4.1 million, and for the Trent catchment was 7.1 million. The population of Humberside, which comprises North and North-east Lincolnshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire, and Kingston-upon-Hull (Hull), was just under 0.9 million. Land use around the estuary itself is 50-98% agricultural, within only two areas of high population/ industry – the major conurbation around Kingston-upon-Hull (Hull) on the north bank, and several large industrial areas around Grimsby/ Immingham/ Cleesthorpes on the south bank. The area around the Humber estuary is low-lying, and much land-claim of wetlands and supratidal zones, as well as parts of the intertidal zone, was carried out in the past two centuries. The mid to




outer estuary (Humber Bridge to Spurn Point) changed from a region of low water erosion in the 19th century to one of accretion in the 20th century, nonetheless a net loss of intertidal zone of some 3000 ha has taken place since the mid-19th century. Around the estuary some 894 km2 of land are below the 5 m contour, protected by extensive coastal defences. Most of the sediment entering the estuary comes from the North Sea, and a large part of it is believed to come from the continuing erosion of the Holderness Cliffs, which form the coastline to the north of the estuary mouth at Spurn Head. The estuary currently has approximately 1,775 ha of saltmarsh

General ecological features: Provide further description, as appropriate, of the main habitats, vegetation types, plant and animal communities present in the Ramsar site, and the ecosystem services of the site and the benefits derived from them. Description

Much of the intertidal area of the Humber Estuary consists of mudflats with fringing saltmarsh. There are smaller areas of intertidal sand flats, and sand dunes. The saltmarsh is both eroding and accreting; although coastal squeeze is resulting in net losses, and cord grass Spartina anglica is a major colonising species. In areas of reduced salinity such as the Upper Humber there are extensive areas of common reed Phragmites australis with some sea club-rush Bolboschoenus maritimus. Mid-level saltmarsh tends to be much more floristically diverse, and in the higher level marsh with its dendritic network of drainage channels, salt pans and borrow pits grasses dominate with thrift Armeria maritima where the marsh is grazed by cattle and sheep. Extensive areas of eel grass Zostera marina and Z. nolti have been known to occur at Spurn Bight, although in recent years records are limited. Behind the sandflats of the Cleethorpes coast the mature sand-dune vegetation contains some locally and nationally rare species including chestnut flat sedge Blysmus rufus, bulbous meadow grass Poa bulbosa and dense silky-bent Apera interrupta. The sand dunes, which cap the shingle spit that forms Spurn Peninsula are dominated by marram grass Ammophila arenaria and patches of dense sea buckthorn Hippophae rhamnoides.

1130 Estuaries

The Humber is the second-largest coastal plain estuary in the UK, and the largest coastal plain estuary on the east

coast of Britain. It is a muddy, macro-tidal estuary, fed by the Rivers Ouse, Trent and Hull, Ancholme and Graveney.

Suspended sediment concentrations are high, and are derived from a variety of sources, including marine sediments

and eroding boulder clay along the Holderness coast. This is the northernmost of the English east coast estuaries

whose structure and function is intimately linked with soft eroding shorelines. Habitats within the Humber Estuary include

1330 Atlantic salt meadows and a range of sand dune types in the outer estuary, together with subtidal sandbanks

(H1110 Sandbanks which are slightly covered by sea water all the time), extensive intertidal mudflats (H1140

Mudflats and sandflats not covered by seawater at low tide), glasswort beds (H1310 Salicornia and other annuals

colonising mud and sand), and 1150 coastal lagoons. As salinity declines upstream, reedbeds and brackish

saltmarsh communities fringe the estuary. These are best-represented at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Trent at

Blacktoft Sands. Upstream from the Humber Bridge, the navigation channel undergoes major shifts from north to south

banks, for reasons that have yet to be fully explained. This section of the estuary is also noteworthy for extensive mud

and sand bars, which in places form semi-permanent islands. Significant fish species include 1099 river lamprey

Lampetra fluviatilis and 1095 sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus which breed in the River Derwent, a tributary of the

River Ouse.

1140 Mudflats and sandflats not covered by seawater at low tide

4.3 Vulnerability The Humber Estuary is subject to the impacts of human activities (past and present) as well as ongoing processes such as sea level rise and climate change. Management intervention is therefore necessary to enable the estuary to recover and to secure the ecological resilience required to respond to both natural and anthropogenic change. Key issues include coastal squeeze, impacts on the sediment budget, and geomorphological structure and function of the estuary (due to sea level rise, flood defence works, dredging, and the construction, operation and maintenance of ports, pipelines and other infrastructure), changes in water quality and flows, pressure from additional built development, and damage and disturbance arising from access, recreation and other activities. Coastal squeeze is being addressed through the development and implementation of the Humber Flood Risk Management Strategy. All proposals for flood defence, development, dredging, abstractions and discharges which require consent from any statutory body, and land use plans which may have impacts upon the site are subject to assessment under the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994 (the “Habitats Regulations”). Diffuse pollution will be addressed through a range of measures including implementation of the Waste Water Framework Directive and Catchment Sensitive Farming initiatives. Other issues are addressed via a range of measures including regulation of on-site land management activities and implementation of the Humber Management Scheme, developed by all relevant statutory bodies to assist in the delivery of their duties under the Habitats Regulations.

12. General overview of the site: Provide a short paragraph giving a summary description of the principal ecological characteristics and importance of the wetland. The Lower Derwent Valley represents one of the most important examples of traditionally managed species-rich alluvial flood meadow habitat remaining in the UK. These grasslands, which were formerly widespread, are now very restricted in distribution due to agricultural improvement. The river and these floodlands play a substantial role in the hydrological and ecological functioning of the internationally important Humber basin. 13. Ramsar Criteria: Circle or underline each Criterion applied to the designation of the Ramsar site. See Annex II of the Explanatory Notes and Guidelines for the Criteria and guidelines for their application (adopted by Resolution VII.11).

6510 Lowland hay meadows (Alopecurus pratensis, Sanguisorba officinalis)

The Lower Derwent Valley in north-east England contains a greater area of high-quality examples of lowland hay

meadows than any other UK site and encompasses the majority of this habitat type occurring in the Vale of York. The

abundance of the rare narrow-leaved water-dropwort Oenanthe silaifolia is a notable feature. Traditional management

has ensured that ecological variation is well-developed, particularly in the transitions between this grassland type and

other types of wet and dry grassland, swamp and fen vegetation.

4.3 Vulnerability

Eutrophication risk due to agricultural run-off and domestic sewage residues are currently being investigated

by English Nature to determine the scale and effect before preventative measures can be formulated. Water

abstraction and the associated tidal barrage are thought to adversely affect water levels and qualities on the

site. This is being investigated through a joint project between English Nature, Environment Agency and the

private water company. Coal mining takes place adjacent to the site. The potential effects of this are

monitored with mitigation where necessary via a section 106 planning agreement. Recreational disturbance is

increasing due to increased house building adjacent to the site.

4.3 Vulnerability Thorne and Hatfield Moors form an extensive lowland raised mire system. Outside of the areas that are currently being worked for peat, the main threats to the nightjar's habitat come from lack of management and re-wetting operations. The former is being addressed by a programme of scrub clearance work to create a mosaic with open areas of various sizes; the latter by incorporating information on nightjars' requirements and previous patterns of usage of the site into National Nature Reserve management plans, to ensure that future management takes account of both the raised mire and nightjar interests. On the parts of the site that are still worked for peat, any impacts on the nightjar's habitat or behaviour will be addressed as part of the review of extant permissions under the relevant provisions of the Habitats Regulations.

7120 Degraded raised bogs still capable of natural regeneration

Thorne Moor is England’s largest area of raised bog, lying a few kilometres from the smaller Hatfield Moors, both within

the former floodplain of the rivers feeding the Humber estuary (Humberhead Levels), and includes the sub-components

Goole Moors and Crowle Moors. Although recent management has increased the proportion of 7110 active raised bog

at Thorne Moors, the inclusion of Goole Moors, where peat-extraction has now ceased, means that the site is still

predominantly degraded raised bog. The restored secondary surface is rich in species of 7110 Active raised bogs

with bog-mosses Sphagnum spp., cottongrasses Eriophorum angustifolium and E. vaginatum, heather Calluna vulgaris,

cross-leaved heath Erica tetralix, round-leaved sundew Drosera rotundifolia, cranberry Vaccinium oxycoccos and bog-

County: Humberside Site Name: Rifle Butts Quarry

Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) notified under Section 28 of the Wildlife andCountryside Act, 1981, as amended.

Local Planning Authority: East Yorkshire Borough Council

National Grid Reference: SE 898426 Area: 0.3 (ha) 0.7 (ac)

Ordnance Survey Sheet 1:50,000: 106 1:10,000: SE 84 SE

First Notified: 1952 * Date of Revision: 1987

Other Information:1. The site is identified as being of national importance in the Geological Conservation Review.

2. Rifle Butts Quarry is managed as a geological reserve by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.

3. During the 1987 revision the boundary of this site has been amended to exclude some landpreviously notified*.

*Under Section 23 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, 1949.

Description:

A renowned geological site, Rifle Butts Quarry shows a section of Red Chalk and White Chalkoverlying Lias. Sedimentation here during the Jurassic and Cretaceous was affected by aÔpositiveÕ feature, the Market Weighton Axis, an axis of uplift separating two basins to thenorth and south and causing marked attenuation in the vicinity of Market Weighton. Thequarry provides the only available exposure of this attenuated Lower Cretaceous sequencewhich developed locally due to movement along the axis. The section is therefore offundamental significance for palaeo-geographic reconstructions of the Cretaceous of North EastEngland.

County: Humberside Site Name: Kiplingcotes Chalk Pit

Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) notified under Section 28 of the Wildlifeand Countryside Act, 1981.

The site also supports small areas of MG5 and MG13 creeping bent Agrostis stolonifera – marsh foxtail Alopecurus geniculatus grassland.

General description: Eskamhorn Meadows comprises five floristically diverse fields supporting unimproved neutral grassland on seasonally damp clayey soils of the Fladbury 3 series. Scattered within the River Aire floodplain, the meadows would have traditionally been subject to seasonal flooding, however the presence of large river embankments now prevents this. Most of the surrounding land is in arable cultivation. Ridge and furrow is present in several of the fields and provides variation in topography. This combined with differences in drainage and historical management of the fields has resulted in species composition of the meadows varying across the SSSI. The fields are managed by hay cutting, with some being aftermath grazed. Unimproved neutral grasslands have suffered substantial decline nationally due to agricultural intensification and Eskamhorn Meadows represents a rare surviving example.

The majority of the grassland is characterised by grasses such as meadow foxtail Alopecurus pratensis, sweet vernal-grass Anthoxanthum odoratum, crested dog’s-tail Cynosurus cristatus, yellow oat-grass Trisetum flavescens and red fescue Festuca rubra. The sward has a very high diversity of broadleaved species, with herbs, particularly great burnet Sanguisorba officinalis, dominating the sward in several areas. Other characteristic species include pepper-saxifrage Silaum silaus, meadow vetchling Lathyrus pratensis, common bird’s-foot-trefoil Lotus corniculatus, meadowsweet Filipendula ulmaria, and oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare. Adder’s-tongue fern Ophioglossum vulgatum also occurs in two of the meadows. Of particular note is the occurrence of meadow thistle Cirsium dissectum in the northernmost field, this species being uncommon in the lowlands of Yorkshire.

In some areas common knapweed Centaurea nigra replaces great burnet as the dominant herb species. Quaking-grass Briza media and heath-grass Danthonia decumbens also occur in these areas and sward composition represents a transitional community.

In addition to the reasons for notification described above, small numbers of curlews Numenius arquata and lapwings Vanellus vanellus breed in the meadows.

County: Humberside Site name: South Cliffe Common Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) notified under Section 28 of the

Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended Local Planning Authority: Boothferry Borough Council, East Yorkshire Borough

Council National grid reference: SE 859358, 860342 Ordnance survey sheet: 1:50,000: 106 1:10,000: SE 83 NE, SE 83 SE Area: 12.5 (ha) 30.9 (ac) (Boothferry) 47.1 (ha) 116.4 (ac) (East Yorkshire) 59.6 (ha) 147.3 (ac) (Total) First Notified: 1988 Description: South Cliffe Common consists of a mixture of heathland and acidic grassland associated with the transition between the glacial sands of the Vale of York and the former carr lands of the Humber Head levels. It is important as a remnant of once much more widespread habitats, now substantially reduced by agricultural improvement and conifer planting, and forms one of only six extensive heathlands developed on sand remaining in Humberside. The site consists of two disjunct areas – Bunny Hill and Hotham Carrs. Much of Bunny Hill is a mosaic of ericaceous heath and acid grassland dominated by heather Calluna vulgaris, purple moore-grass Molinia caerulea, mat-grass Nardus stricta and heath rush Juncus squarrosus. There are several areas of invasive birch Betula pendula woodland, with occasional oak Quercus sp., and self-sown pine Pinus sylvestris from adjacent plantations. Bunny Hill, as its name suggests, is an extensive rabbit warren, and there are consequently areas of open sand with a characteristic flora including early hair-grass Aira praecox, parsley piert Aphanes arvensis, common stork’s-bill Erodium cicutarium, heath bedstraw Galium saxatile and thyme-leaved speedwell Veronica serphyllifolia. Also present is a small area of lichen rich heath with an abundance of Cladonia species. There is an area of neutral grassland adjacent to Keeper’s Cottage and, although rather coarse, this supports herbs such as common knapweed Centaurea nigra, devil’s-bit scabious Succisa pratensis and adder’s tongue Ophioglossum vulgatum. South of Bunny Hill Farm, the dry sands give way to the peatlands of South Cliffe Carr where wet acid grassland predmoniates with mat-grass, heath rush and soft rush Juncus effus dominant and localised patches of narrow buckler fern Dryopteris carthusiana, bog moss Sphagnum spp., and hare’s-tail cotton-grass Eriophorum vaginatum. Hotham Carr is a mixture of wet acid grassland, poor fen, and birch woodland, with limited areas of basin mire and bog pools. Mat-grass predominates, with rushes Juncus acutiflorus, J. effuses, J. inflexus and J. conglomeratus in the wetter areas and a variety of poor-fen species such as marsh cinquefoil Potentilla palustris, marsh pennywort Hydrocotyle vulgaris, and marsh violet Viola palustris. The two bog pools in the centre of the site are surrounded

by a floating carpet of common cottongrass Eriophorum angustifolium and jointed rush Juncus articulatus. The site is extremely rich in insects and other invertebrates. Many nationally uncommon species occur, particularly those associated with dry, sandy or wet, acid conditions. Two particularly rare species have been recorded Capsus wagneri¸ a fen bug known only from Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire, and Colobaea distincta, a small killing fly. The diversity of habitats also supports a wide range of bird species, both breeding and wintering, with over 100 species recorded in recent years, including locally scarce breeding species such as nightjar and lesser-spotted woodpecker.

First Notified: 1986

Description:The Yorkshire Derwent is considered to represent one of the best British examples of theclassic river profile. This lowland section, stretching from Ryemouth to the confluence withthe Ouse, supports diverse communities of aquatic flora and fauna, many elements of which arenationally significant.

Fed from an extensive upland catchment, the lowland course of the Derwent has beenconsiderably diverted and extended as a result of glacial action in the Vale of Pickering.

In contrast to the upland reaches this section of the river is rich in nutrients and relativelyunpolluted and supports an aquatic flora uncommon in Northern Britain. Several species,including river water-dropwort Oenanthe fluviatilis, flowering rush Butomus umbellatus,shining pondweed Potamogeton lucens, arrowhead Sagittaria sagittifolia, opposite-leavedpondweed Groenlandia densa and narrow-leaved water-parsnip Berula erecta are typicallyfound in lowland rivers in southern England, and several occur here near their north-easternlimit in Britain. The presence of the unbranched bur-reed Sparganium emersum and yellowwater-lily Nuphar lutea add to the floral interest.

The exceptionally rich assemblage of invertebrates reflects their affinities with the communitiesof the southern slow-flowing rivers. Species of particular interest include the mayflies Baetisbuceratus, Heptagenia fusogrisea and Brachycerus harisella, and a stonefly Taeniopteryxnebulosa. Eleven species of dragonfly have been recorded including the banded agrion Agrionsplendens at its most north-easterly site in the country.

The river is also noted for its diversity of fish species, which include or have included thebleak, ruffe and burbot. The presence of these European species reflect the DerwentÕsgeographical position at the end of the Ice Age when migration of fish from the Rhine and otherEuropean rivers was possible across the North Sea which, at that time, was a fresh-water lake.

The riverine habitat also supports an excellent breeding bird community including commonsandpiper, dipper, kingfisher, and yellow and grey wagtails. During the winter the Lower

Derwent is vital in maintaining the internationally important population of BewickÕs swansassociation with the adjacent Derwent Ings. The Derwent is also one of the few rivers inlowland Britain which still supports a breeding population of otters.

Other Information:Stretches of the river are also included within other SSSIs notified under Section 28 of theWildlife and Countryside Act, 1981; these are Kirkham Park and Riverside; Derwent IngsSSSI; Breighton Meadows SSSI. SSSIs adjacent to the river are Jeffry Bog and Newton Mask.

Ordnance Survey Sheet 1:50,000: 106 1:10,000: SE 72 NW

Area: 8.6 (ha) 21.2 (ac)


Description:Barn Hill Meadows comprise seven fields lying just to the west of Howden, in the flood plainof the Old Derwent. The site is important for its herb-rich, unimproved, neutral grassland, ahabitat now uncommon in the intensively farmed landscape of Humberside and in lowlandEngland generally.

The fields have been traditionally managed for hay and several of them retain remnant ridge andfurrow characteristics. Boundary hedgerows and ditches form an integral part of the site.

The dominant grasses in the sward are red fescue Festuca rubra, sweet vernal-grassAnthoxanthum odoratum, Yorkshire fog Holcus lanatus and cockÕs-foot Dactylis glomeratawith false oat-grass Arrhenatherum elatius locally abundant and quaking grass Briza mediaoccurring sparsely.

A particular feature of these fields is the abundance of great burnet Sanguisorba officinaliswhich occurs here with other species indicative of unimproved grassland, such as pepper-saxifrage Silaum silaus and meadow craneÕs-bill Geranium pratense. Characteristic species ondrier ground also include oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare and common knapweedCentaurea nigra while in wetter areas there are tall herb communities comprising meadowsweetFilipendula ulmaria, purple loosestrife Lythrum salicaria, yellow loosestrife Lysimachiavulgaris, common meadow-rue Thalictrum flavum and ragged robin Lychnis flos-cuculi.

Common reed Phragmites australis and sweet-grass Glyceria spp., are locally dominant alongditches and in the damper furrows.

NVC: MG6 Lolium perenne-Cynosurus cristatus grassland,W10 Quercus robur-Pteridium aquilinum-Rubus

fruticosus woodland,MG9 Holcus lanatus-Deschampsia cespitosa grassland

SITE DESCRIPTION:All of this site, except the north-eastern asymmetric arm, is taken up by a tall neutral grassland / marshy grassland mosaic dominated by dampish herbage characterised by much tufted hair-grass ( Deschampsia cespitosa ), with Yorkshire-fog ( Holcus lanatus ), soft and compact rush ( Juncus effusus, J. conglomeratus ), marsh thistle ( Cirsium palustre ), creeping buttercup ( Ranunculus repens ), creeping bent ( Agrostis stolonifera ) and, in somewhat drier areas, perennial rye-grass ( Lolium perenne ), crested dog's-tail ( Cynosurus cristatus ), common bent ( Agrostis capillaris ) and red and white clover ( Trifolium pratense, T. repens ). The fields are horse- and cattle-grazed and are demarcated from each other by generally species-poor hedges of hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ) and blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ), with scattered tree cover of pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ).

The north-eastern arm of the site north-east of the public footpath, starts off as dense scrub of hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), blackthorn ( Prunus



spinosa ) and elder ( Sambucus nigra ) and merges northwards into a small enclave of what purports to be deciduous plantation, with pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ), hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), elder ( Sambucus nigra ) and blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ), with a barish to disturbed herb layer of bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ), nettle ( Urtica dioica ), broad buckler- and male-fern ( Dryopteris dilatata, D. filix-mas ), rosebay willowherb ( Chamerion angustifolium ) creeping soft-grass ( Holcus mollis ), scattered wood false-brome ( Brachypodium sylvaticum ), cleavers ( Galium aparine ), wood sorrel ( Oxalis acetosella ) and greater stitchwort ( Stellaria holostea ).

The eastern boundary of the site is serviced by a public footpath running through a narrow wooded strip containing pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ), hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), field maple ( Acer campestre ), elder ( Sambucus nigra ), blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ) and scattered hazel ( Corylus avellana ) and alder ( Alnus glutinosa ). The herb layer here is quite disturbed, with bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ), nettle ( Urtica dioica ), wood false-brome ( Brachypodium sylvaticum ), greater stitchwort ( Stellaria holostea ), wood sorrel ( Oxalis acetosella ) and dryopteroid ferns ( Dryopteris spp.). A shallow stream course runs through the wooded strip, containing intermittent lesser pond-sedge ( Carex acutiformis ), reed sweet-grass ( Glyceria maxima ) and occasional floating sweet-grass ( Glyceria fluitans ) and yellow flag ( Iris pseudacorus ).

Barnhill Hall

A neutral/marshy grassland habitat, in the main, of only very moderate ecological interest as far as could be seen. The woodland/scrub elements are similarly fairly representative but unremarkable and have some incomplete affinity with W10 woodland.

NVC: W1 Salix cinerea-Galium palustre woodland,W2 Salix cinerea-Betula pubescens-Phragmites australis

woodland,W6 Alnus glutinosa-Urtica dioica woodland

SITE DESCRIPTION:Despite the woodland title being Yarmshaw Plantation, this site is a broad-leaved semi-natural woodland which in ecological terms is referred to as willow carr.

The major canopy species are crack willow ( Salix fragilis ), white willow ( S. alba ) and osier ( S. viminalis ), plus locally frequent grey willow ( S. cinerea ) and goat willow ( S. caprea ). Additionally the site contains subordinate numbers of pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ), ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ), wych elm ( Ulmus glabra ) and white poplar ( Populus alba ).

The shrub layer includes scattered elder ( Sambucus nigra ), hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), guelder rose ( Viburnum opulus ) ands snowberry ( Symphoricarpos albus ).

The nature of this nutrient-rich silty lowland woodland always encourages the widespread growth of nettle ( Urtica dioica ) which is here a typical part of the carr herb layer, associated with typical ruderals such as hogweed ( Heracleum

NVC: MG1 Arrhenatherum elatius grassland,MG6 Lolium perenne-Cynosurus cristatus grassland

SITE DESCRIPTION:This short linear site is dominated by tall rank grassland typified by false oat grass ( Arrhenatherum elatius ), cock's-foot ( Dactylis glomerata ), rough stalked meadow grass ( Poa trivialis ) and perennial rye-grass ( Lolium perenne ), with frequent/abundant creeping buttercup ( Ranunculus repens ) and herbs of drier ground including tufted vetch ( Vicia cracca ), nettle ( Urtica dioica ), red and white clover ( Trifolium pratense, T. repens ), hogweed ( Heracleum sphondylium ), Yorkshire fog ( Holcus lanatus ), creeping and spear thistle ( Cirsium arvense, C. vulgare ), ribwort plantain ( Plantago lanceolata ), curled, broad-leaved and wood docks ( Rumex crispus, R. obtusifolius, R. sanguineus ), with scattered common knapweed ( Centaurea nigra ), common mouse-ear ( Cerastium fontanum ), sweet vernal grass ( Anthoxanthum odoratum ) and black medick ( Medicago lupulina ), with red fescue ( Festuca rubra ) and meadow vetchling ( Lathyrus pratensis ).

Parts of this lush herbage are exhibiting remnants of dried out marshy grassland containing common reed ( Phragmites australis ), false fox-sedge ( Carex otrubae ), hairy sedge ( C. hirta ), and scattered plants of the terrestrial form of amphibious bistort ( Persicaria amphibia ). Great willowherb ( Epilobium



hirsutum ) is present on drier edges, with occasional greater bird's-foot-trefoil ( Lotus pedunculatus ) and meadowsweet ( Filipendula ulmaria ).

The boundaries of the site have a scattered scrub of pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ), hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), goat willow ( Salix caprea ), grey sallow ( S. cinerea ), and, in damper areas, osier ( S. viminalis ) and occasional crack willow ( S. fragilis ). These scrubby edges have associated locally frequent bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ), occasional dog rose ( Rosa canina ), cow parsley ( Anthriscus sylvestris ) and lesser burdock ( Arctium minus ), while cleavers ( Galium aparine ) is locally frequent, scrambling over other vegetation.

SITE DESCRIPTION:This wetland comprises two adjacent large ponds/lakes used for fishing, with two smaller

ponds on the south-east side, which are surrounded by dense scrub.

The two main ponds contain a variety of submerged aquatic species including abundant

thread-leaved water crowfoot ( Ranunculus trichophyllus ) locally abundant spiked water

milfoil ( Myriophyllum spicatum ), locally frequent ivy-leaved duckweed ( Lemna trisulca

), occasional Canadian waterweed ( Elodea canadensis ), whilst rigid hornwort (

Ceratophyllum demersum ) is rare. Water violet ( Hottonia palustris ), which is rare in

East Yorkshire is abundant in one of the small ponds (see map).

Floating-leaved vegetation includes occasional white water lily ( Nymphaea alba ) with

rare cultivated water lily ( Nymphaea marliacea? ).

Emergent aquatic species on the edges of the pond are locally frequent bulrush ( Typha

latifolia ) and yellow iris ( Iris pseudacorus ).

Marginal/wet mud vegetation includes frequent hard rush ( Juncus inflexus ), gypsywort (

Lycopus europaeus ) and meadowsweet ( Filipendula ulmaria ), associated with locally

Local Wildlife Site Report @ neyedc.org.uk http://data.yhedn.org.uk/lws/sincCitationReport.php

frequent celery-leaved buttercup ( Ranunculus sceleratus ), remote sedge ( Carex

remota ), great willowherb ( Epilobium hirsutum ) and common spike-rush ( Eleocharis

palustris agg.). Occasional species are soft rush ( Juncus effusus ), water-plantain (

Alisma plantago-aquatica ), false fox sedge ( Carex otrubae ), marsh bedstraw ( Galium

palustre ), water forget-me-not ( Myosotis scorpioides ) and bittersweet ( Solanum

dulcamara ), whilst watercress ( Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum ), cuckooflower (

Cardamine pratensis ) and water horsetail ( Equisetum fluviatile ) are rare.

Dense scrub surrounding the ponds comprises locally frequent Lombardy poplar (

Populus nigra ssp. betulifolia cv. 'Italica') with frequent goat willow and grey sallow (

Salix caprea , S. cinerea ) and occasional aspen ( Populus tremula ) and oak ( Quercus

sp). Two very mature white willows ( Salix alba ), one of which is an ancient coppice are

also present.

North Howden Fish Ponds

This wetland site is especially valuable due to the presence of water violet. There is a

reasonable diversity of marginal/wet mud species, which altogether make this site an

ecologically important wetland complex.

EVALUATION:Criteria passed: Sw1 (15 species)

Nutrient rich standing water, noted for its water-violet ( Hottonia palustris ).

HABITATS: (AREA IN HA) Lowland mixed deciduous woodland,A112 Woodland: broadleaved, plantation,A132 Woodland: mixed, plantation

NVC: W8g Teucrium scorodonia sub-community

SITE DESCRIPTION:Old Dale Plantation is an old estate woodland, restocked over the last 50 years. The site can be split into four sections, as described below:

A) Along the western boundary the plantation is characterised the remaining older trees, including pine ( Pinus sp.), ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) and European larch ( Larix decidua ). This area is due for replacement in the next 10 years (by 2020). No ancient trees or specifically large specimens were observed.

B) The north and eastern section of the outer woodland was planted with predominantly ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) and sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ) c.15 years ago (early-mid 1990's). Other occasional species, including beech ( Fagus sylvatica ), European larch ( Larix decidua ), wild cherry ( Prunus avium ), whilst pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur .), box ( Buxus sempervirens ) and box-leaved honeysuckle ( Lonicera plicata ) are rare.

Both areas have an understorey dominated by bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ) and nettle ( Urtica dioica ), with outcrops of native bluebell ( Hyacinthoides non-scripta ) and odd colonies of giant bellflower ( Campanula latifolia ), buttercup ( Ranunculus sp.), red campion ( Silene dioica ), nipplewort ( Lapsana



communis ), wood avens ( Geum urbanum ) and enchanter's nightshade ( Circaea lutetiana ).

C) The central, main woodland section, is dominantly ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ), with some sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ), European larch ( Larix decidua ) and beech ( Fagus sylvatica ). This area was planted c.30 years ago and thinned out about 5 years ago, with the remnant brash from thinning left on the ground. The understorey if thin in general, composed of nettle ( Urtica dioica ) and mosses with the occasional bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ). However, where more light penetrates the canopy there is a ground cover of nettle ( Urtica dioica ) enchanter's nightshade ( Circaea lutetiana ) red campion ( Silene dioica ) and wood avens ( Geum urbanum ) with occasional patches of bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ).

D) A small area of open grassland persists to the north of the central ride, at the very north of the site where there is higher ground. This is dominated by false oat-grass ( Arrhenatherum elatius ), but includes other species not seen elsewhere at this site, like hemlock ( Conium maculatum ), poppy ( Papaver rhoeas ) and barren and soft brome ( Bromus sterilis, B. hordeaceus ) for example.

Old Dale Plantation

This mixed plantation woodland has a limited ground flora, lacking in many key woodland species so therefore provides only moderate ecological interest.

NVC: W24 Rubus fruticosus-Holcus lanatus underscrub,CG4 Brachypodium pinnatum grassland

SITE DESCRIPTION:This linear section of disused railway track is underlain by a chalky substrate which gives

rise to various locally frequent calcicole plant species - notably tor grass ( Brachypodium

pinnatum ), scattered marjoram ( Origanum vulgare ), scattered fairy flax ( Linum

catharticum ), greater knapweed ( Centaurea scabiosa ), common agrimony ( Agrimonia

eupatoria ) and quaking grass ( Briza media ), interspersed among a generally tall

ruderal herbage of false oat grass ( Arrhenatherum elatius ), Yorkshire fog ( Holcus

lanatus ), nettle ( Urtica dioica ), creeping thistle ( Cirsium arvense ) and common

knapweed ( Centaurea nigra ).

Other locally frequent or widespread species include rosebay willowherb ( Chamerion

angustifolium ), harebell ( Campanula rotundifolia ), crosswort ( Cruciata laevipes ),

cock's-foot ( Dactylis glomerata ), wild carrot ( Daucus carota ), perforate St. John's

wort ( Hypericum perforatum ), field scabious ( Knautia arvensis ), common bird's-

foot-trefoil ( Lotus corniculatus ), black medick ( Medicago lupulina ), red bartsia (

Odontites vernus ), ribwort plantain ( Plantago lanceolata ), wild mignonette ( Reseda

lutea ), red and white clover ( Trifolium pratense, T. repens ) and hairy tare ( Vicia

hirsuta ).

The line is bordered by a dense scrub cover of hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), with

scattered elder ( Sambucus nigra ), frequent dog rose ( Rosa canina ), occasional

sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ) and ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ). Bramble ( Rubus

fruticosus agg.) is abundant, associated with the scrub cover, and cleavers ( Galium

aparine ) and common ragwort ( Senecio jacobaea ) scattered or locally frequent.

The short turf at the track edges has locally abundant eyebright ( Euphrasia spp.) with

occasional lesser trefoil ( Trifolium dubium ), daisy ( Bellis perennis ) and common

mouse-ear ( Cerastium fontanum ).

Because of the heterogeneous mix of tall and shorter herb vegetation, it is difficult to

assign any NVC category - the areas of abundant tor grass ( Brachypodium pinnatum )

have slight affinity (incomplete) with CG4, while the dense Rubus/Holcus lanatus under

scrub has some affinity with W24.

Kiplingcotes Road Earthworks

Overall, an interesting section, which is well used by the public and that has some floristic

diversity.

EVALUATION:Gr2 (13 species) (also passes Gr6a (21 species))

Old, established semi-natural neutral and calcareous grassland.

SITE DESCRIPTION:This short section starts off going eastwards with dense scrub and tree cover near the housing, including sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ), ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ), hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), elder ( Sambucus nigra ), silver birch ( Betula pendula ) and occasional cherry laurel ( Prunus laurocerasus ). Further on the section, the scrub becomes more discontinuous and more clumped in various areas and includes much dogwood ( Cornus sanguinea ). Dog rose ( Rosa canina ) and bramble ( Rubus fruticosus agg.) are frequent to locally abundant, associated with the scrub cover.

The site opens out eastwards into a sloping floristically rich bank and verge habitat of a mosaic of neutral and calcareous grassland species which, on balance, is best assigned to MG5 in the NVC system, with which it has reasonable affinity.

There is a mix of taller and shorter herbs and forbs here, typified by frequent common knapweed ( Centaurea nigra ), perforate and hairy St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum, H. hirsutum ), harebell ( Campanula rotundifolia ), false oat grass ( Arrhenatherum elatius ) rosebay willowherb ( Chamerion



angustifolium ), red fescue ( Festuca rubra ), Yorkshire fog ( Holcus lanatus ), rough hawkbit ( Leontodon hispidus ), crosswort ( Cruciata laevipes ), bird's-foot-trefoil ( Lotus corniculatus ),red and white clover ( Trifolium pratense, T. repens ), ribwort plantain ( Plantago lanceolata ), tufted and bush vetch ( Vicia cracca, V. sepium ) and local aggregations of calcicoles, notably wild marjoram ( Origanum vulgare ), wild basil ( Clinopodium vulgare ), restharrow ( Ononis repens ) and scattered fairy flax ( Linum catharticum ). Eyebright ( Euphrasia spp.) is abundant in short trackside turf.

Granny's Attic Railway

In general, a quite floristically rich habitat with leaves of one or two bee orchid ( Ophrys apifera ) seen (presumably), but no flowers.

HABITATS: (AREA IN HA) A21 Scrub: dense/continuous,A22 Scrub: scattered,C31 Other tall herb and fern: tall ruderal,B2 Neutral grassland,B3 Calcareous grassland

NVC: CG4 Brachypodium pinnatum grassland



SITE DESCRIPTION:This 3 km long section is dominated by, for the most part, dense scrub with interspersed sporadic tree cover, associated with a frontage nearer the central track of tall ruderal vegetation. There are enclaves of neutral/calcareous grassland mosaics and several calcicole species are prominent in the narrow verge-like strips on each side of the central track, merging into the backdrop of tall ruderal and dense scrub vegetation.

The dense scrub cover is dominated by hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), with locally frequent elder ( Sambucus nigra ) and blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ) and containing frequent ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) at sapling or semi-mature stages, scattered sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ) and occasional crab and cultivated apple ( Malus sylvestris, M. domestica ). This scrub cover is intimately associated with abundant and widespread bramble ( Rubus fruticosus agg.), abundant dog-rose ( Rosa canina ) and frequent cleavers ( Galium aparine ). This straggling ruderal vegetation is associated with tall aggressive species such as frequent false oat-grass ( Arrhenatherum elatius ), scattered hogweed ( Heracleum sphondylium ), locally frequent nettle ( Urtica dioica ) and frequent cock's-foot ( Dactylis glomerata ) and rosebay willowherb ( Chamerion angustifolium ).

Of more floristic interest and ecological merit are the suites of neutral and calcareous grassland herbs and forbs which occur in some numbers throughout the entire section.

Common knapweed ( Centaurea nigra ) is abundant, associated with locally frequent common agrimony ( Agrimonia eupatoria ), tor grass ( Brachypodium pinnatum ), scattered greater knapweed ( C. scabiosa ), locally frequent wild basil ( Clinopodium vulgare ), locally abundant crosswort ( Cruciata laevipes ), red fescue ( Festuca rubra ), locally frequent wild strawberry ( Fragaria vesca ), hawkweeds ( Hieracium spp.), abundant perforate St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum ), locally frequent field scabious ( Knautia arvensis ) and rough hawkbit ( Leontodon hispidus ), frequent common bird's-foot-trefoil ( Lotus corniculatus ), locally frequent black medick ( Medicago lupulina ), red bartsia ( Odontites vernus ), restharrow ( Ononis repens ) and bush vetch ( Vicia sepium ), locally abundant wild marjoram ( Origanum vulgare ), burnet saxifrage ( Pimpinella saxifraga ), ribwort plantain ( Plantago lanceolata ), yellow rattle ( Rhinanthus minor ) and red and white clover ( Trifolium pratense, T. repens ). Eyebright ( Euphrasia spp.), as with other adjacent sections of this disused line, is abundant in short trackside turf.

A moderately interesting section, with enclaves of calcareous grassland supporting Brachypodium pinnatum and associated calcicoles, which have some affinity with CG4. Overall, however, this ecological interest is somewhat marred by the continuous dense scrub and tall ruderal vegetation which constitutes a significant presence on the site.

SITE DESCRIPTION:Both hedge sections are in places dominated by elder ( Sambucus nigra ), being most noticeable in the west-facing hedge. Here, the verge is also infested with nettle ( Urtica dioica ), which suggests nutrient leaching from the adjacent arable fields. The hedge also consists of locally abundant hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ) with occasional ash ( Fraxinus exclelsior ) and sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ).

There is also an abundance of tall common wayside species, particularly false oat-grass ( Arrhenatherum elatius ), common couch ( Elytrigia repens ), cocksfoot ( Dactylis glomerata ), Yorkshire fog ( Holcus lanatus ), cleavers ( Galium aparine ), bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ), large bindweed ( Calystegia silvatica ), creeping thistle ( Cirsium arvense ), great willowherb ( Epilobium hirsutum ) and rosebay willowherb ( Chamaerion angustifolium ), with occasional hedge woundwort ( Stachys sylvatica ), garlic mustard ( Alliaria petiolata ), herb Robert ( Geranium robertianum ), and nipplewort ( Lapsana communis ). Field scabious ( Knautia arvensis ) is rare.

HABITATS: (AREA IN HA) A132 Woodland: mixed, plantation,A112 Woodland: broadleaved, plantation,J21 Boundaries: intact

hedge, Lowland mixed deciduous woodland

NVC: W10 Quercus robur-Pteridium aquilinum-Rubus fruticosus woodland

SITE DESCRIPTION:This rectangular site has a central section of mixed plantation woodland, flanked on western and eastern boundaries by two narrower strips of predominantly broad-leaved canopy structure.

To deal with the broadleaves first; much of the tree stock is pedunculate or hybrid oak ( Quercus robur, Q. x rosacea ) of variable height from sapling to semi-mature to mature. Associated canopy species include frequent sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ) and wych elm ( Ulmus glabra ), while beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) is locally frequent and ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ), common lime ( Tilia x vulgaris ) and sweet chestnut ( Castanea sativa ) are occasional.

There is a widespread and frequent shrub layer of elder ( Sambucus nigra ), locally frequent hazel ( Corylus avellana ), scattered hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ) - this species also prominent in the boundary hedges - occasional holly ( Ilex aquifolium ) and rare guelder rose ( Viburnum opulus ) and spindle ( Euonymus europaeus ).

The central mixed plantation section is dominated in many areas by conifers -



notably Norway spruce ( Picea abies ), Western hemlock-spruce ( Tsuga heterophylla ) and yew ( Taxusa baccata ), associated with subordinate numbers of several deciduous species already mentioned. Cherry laurel ( Prunus laurocerasus ) is also local.

Regeneration is noticeable in sycamore, ash, beech and some oak and is moderately well developed. The site contains plentiful dead lying and some standing timber which is rotting down well to provide a good environment for fungi and invertebrates.

The herb layer throughout the deciduous zones tends to be a mosaic of abundant bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ), locally abundant ramsons ( Allium ursinum ), abundant bluebell ( Hyacinthoides non-scripta ) and locally frequent red campion ( Silene dioica ), with locally frequent giant bellflower ( Campanula latifolia ), enchanter's nightshade ( Circaea lutetiana ), herb-Robert ( Geranium robertianum ), wood speedwell ( Veronica montana ), sweet violet ( Viola odorata ) and frequent dryopteroid ferns ( Dryopteris dilatata, D. filix-mas ). Lady fern ( Athyrium filix-femina ) is also locally frequent, as is false brome ( Brachypodium sylvaticum ) and wood avens ( Geum urbanum ), while wild arum ( Arum maculatum ), honeysuckle ( Lonicera periclymenum ) and primrose ( Primula vulgaris) are scattered.

In more disturbed areas near entrances and on ride edges, nettle ( Urtica dioica ) can be locally abundant, raspberry ( Rubus idaeus ) and cleavers ( Galium aparine ) are locally frequent to abundant, ivy ( Hedera helix ) is locally frequent on some tree trunks and on the ground, while cow parsley ( Anthriscus sylvestris ) and lesser burdock ( Arctium minus ) are scattered.

In terms of NVC, only the deciduous strips can be considered and here there is some moderate affinity with W10.

HABITATS: (AREA IN HA) B2 Neutral grassland,J21 Boundaries: intact hedge, Hedgerows

NVC: MG1 Arrhenatherum elatius grassland,W8 Fraxinus excelsior-Acer campestre-Mercurialis perennis woodl



SITE DESCRIPTION:This site comprises both hedgerow and verge on either side of the road, running east to west.

The northern hedge forms the tall woodland edge to a planted parkland landscape and contains Norway maple ( Acer platanoides ), copper beech ( Fagus sylvatica purpurea ) with locally frequent hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), scattered spindle ( Euonymus europaeus ) and occasional blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ), hazel ( Corylus avellana ) and wych elm ( Ulmus glabra ), with Oregon grape ( Mahonia aquifolium ) growing in the hedge bottom.

Adjoining this tall hedge is a dry ditch containing abundant nettle ( Urtica dioica ). Further inspection was not possible as the ditch sides were deep and too steep. It was, however, possible to see false brome ( Brachypodium sylvaticum ) and male fern ( Dryopteris filix-mas ), forming a woodland type herb layer.

The southern hedge is a maintained stock-proof hedge containing hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel and wych elm, plus scattered spindle. Standard trees include pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ), holly ( Ilex aquifolium ), sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ) and beech ( Fagus sylvatica ).

Both verges contain typical wayside grasses including couch grass ( Elytrigia repens ), cock's-foot ( Dactylis glomerata ), giant fescue ( Festuca gigantea ), perennial rye-grass ( Lolium perenne ), associated with frequent cow parsley ( Anthriscus sylvestris ), with scattered hogweed ( Heracleum sphondylium ), lesser burdock ( Arctium minus ) and crosswort ( Cruciata laevipes ).

All the taller wayside species mentioned above are characteristic of MG1 in the NVC system.

The ecological value of the site is moderate, with the main interest being the scattered spindle in the hedgerows, which indicates some calcareous influence in the soil.

NVC: W10 Quercus robur-Pteridium aquilinum-Rubus fruticosus woodland,W8 Fraxinus excelsior-Acer campestre-Mercurialis perennis woodl

SITE DESCRIPTION:This plantation woodland comprises broad-leaved, coniferous and mixed compartments of which most of the canopy is mature in age, with a semi-mature section in the centre. The woodland is traversed by tracks and is used as a pheasant covert.

The deciduous canopy species include abundant ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ), frequent sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ), locally frequent beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) and common lime ( Tilia x vulgaris ). Pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ), sweet chestnut ( Castanea sativa ), wild cherry ( Prunus avium ), wych elm ( Ulmus glabra ) and English elm ( U. procera ) are rare. The coniferous element includes locally abundant Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) with lesser frequencies of Japanese larch ( Larix kaempferi ) and Norway spruce ( Picea abies ).

There is very little ash regeneration, while sycamore is regenerating more successfully. There is a moderate amount of felled and lying dead wood, but no standing dead timber was observed.

NVC: W10 Quercus robur-Pteridium aquilinum-Rubus fruticosus woodland,W8 Fraxinus excelsior-Acer campestre-Mercurialis perennis woodl

SITE DESCRIPTION:This site is primarily a mixed plantation woodland with small enclaves of broad-leaved plantation. The mature canopy tends to form a perimeter around an inner core of more recent planting (c. 20 years ago).

The taller mature canopy layer comprises frequent pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ), sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ), common lime ( Tilia x vulgaris ), with occasional beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) and horse chestnut ( Aesculus hippocastanum ). Among the conifers there is locally frequent European larch ( Larix decidua ) and widespread yew ( Taxus baccata ).

A number of deciduous species including sycamore and ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) form an inner core of more recent plantings. Additionally, natural regeneration of sycamore is proceeding, with sporadic new growth of ash and oak.

The shrub layer is widespread throughout the site with locally frequent hazel ( Corylus avellana ), scattered elder ( Sambucus nigra ), holly ( Ilex aquifolium ) and hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna) - the latter species forming hedges



around parts of the site, as does blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ). Rarer or exotic species include locally frequent cherry laurel ( Prunus laurocerasus ), spurge laurel ( Daphne laureola ) and occasional spindle ( Euonymus europaeus ). Among the shrubs, hazel is showing reasonable regeneration and several specimens showed coppicing.

The herb layer is dominated by ramsons ( Allium ursinum ), associated with drier woodland species including bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ), red campion ( Silene dioica ), bluebell ( Hyacinthoides non-scripta ) , dryopteroid ferns ( Dryopteris dilatata, D. filix-mas ) and lady fern ( Athyrium filix-femina ), with typical woodland grasses such as wood false brome ( Brachypodium sylvaticum ) and wood millet ( Milium effusum ), together with locally frequent wood sedge ( Carex sylvatica ), whereas in damper ground one finds bugle ( Ajuga reptans ), brooklime ( Veronica beccabunga ) and bog stitchwort ( Stellaria uliginosa ).

There is a good amount of lying dead wood.

In terms of NVC this woodland has some affinity with both W8 and W10 formations, based on the presence of oak, ash and yew respectively which occur as canopy species in both these NVC types. The dominance of ramsons further suggests that large parts of the site could approximate to the W8f sub-community.

SITE DESCRIPTION:Bustard Nest Wood is a small, triangular, relatively remote site; an island in arable surroundings on flat land (c.25m above sea level), showing impeded drainage in places, and situated slightly north-east of a farm of the same name.

Bustard Nest is better described as 'thicket-growth' rather than true woodland; shrub-forming species are more prevalent than genuine trees. Dense growths of hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ) are characteristic, with associated shrub or bushy material including sallows ( Salix sp.), and elder ( Sambucus nigra ). Bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ) is designated occasional to frequent and is locally dominant in places and, more unusually, gorse ( Ulex europaeus ) occurs. Trees are mostly ash (Fraxinus excelsior ). Conifers, mostly in the centre of the site, comprise both Norway and Sitka spruce ( Picea abies, P. sitchensis ).

Ground-flora, understandably poorly-developed, consists of weedy types such as rose-bay willow-herb ( Chamerion angustifolium ) and nettle ( Urtica dioica ) rather than true woodland herbs, though some (e. g. ground ivy ( Glechoma hederacea ) and Dryopteris ferns) exist.



Bustard Nest Wood

The dense nature of hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ) impedes the diversity of this site.

SITE DESCRIPTION:1 General Description

Pickhills Wood lies in a seemingly remote location, entirely surrounded by arable fields, but with strong hedge-lines radiating cross-country to give 'corridor' potential.

Description summarised in notes thus:

+ medium-sized;

+ more-or-less rectangular;

+ oriented WNW - ESE;

+ straight-edged, with ditches on three sides;

+ as well, stream-like flow just within southern boundary;

+ flat terrain at altitude of < 10 metres ASL;

+ entry from north-west.

2 Summary of Vegetation



This site has an entirely broad-leaved canopy with no conifers and is secondary in appearance, with the general age of timber not great. Young natural re-growth is considerable and there are definite signs of planting at the eastern end, though management seems nil, except perhaps for pheasant-culture in the past. Also, in contrast to above reference to age of trees there are some moderately large specimens.

The shrub-layer is well-developed throughout much of the site and, combined with other coarse ground-cover, produces impenetrable growth in several parts of the woodland, which is sometimes aggravated by damp conditions underfoot.

Thin southern strip presents different floristics in subtle but possibly significant fashion, see Section 3 below.

Apart from this distinction, Pickhills Wood is easily treated as a uniform community and few target-notes for map definable from field-observations.

3 Details of Vegetation

For canopy-constituents no single species predominates. Sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ) is frequent to abundant, followed by ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) and oak ( Quercus robur ) but there is little diversity beyond this trilogy. These trees in some cases are multi-stemmed, perhaps indicating a previous coppicing regime? Some oddities were encountered in recent plantings, e.g. hornbeam ( Carpinus betulus ) and this site has possibly more holly ( Ilex aquifolium ) than most woodlands studied. As often discovered in previous sites, field maple ( Acer campestre ) exists but in very small amounts.

Shrub-layer comprises, besides the 'conventional' elements of (at least) frequent hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), elder ( Sambucus nigra ) and blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ), some snowberry ( Symphoricarpus alba ), presumably as pheasant-cover; but, more interestingly, several bushes of spurge laurel (Daphne laureola ), including seemingly younger growth, in the 'southern strip' alluded to above.

The herb-layer mingles with some of these "dense thickets" in parts to preclude easy access, especially where bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ) is common, but barer areas also exist. Generally, bulky species form the majority of flora at this level, with cow parsley ( Anthriscus sylvestris ), hogweed ( Heracleum sphondylium ) and nettle ( Urtica dioica ) all frequent components. Some more genuine woodland grasses and forbs are represented, for example wood false brome ( Brachypodium sylvaticum ) in the former group and in the latter, herb robert ( Geranium robertianum ) is occasional and ground ivy ( Glechoma hederacea ) is occasional to frequent. An equally important suite of species accrues from ditch-sides and wet hollows, including much wild angelica ( Angelica sylvatica ) and some tufted hair-grass ( Deschampsia cespitosa ). Ferns are rare.

The slim southern strip shows possibly the richest diversity and most general distribution of woodland ground-flora. For example three-veined sandwort ( Moehringia trinervia ) and common dog violet ( Viola riviniana ) are found here, accompanying spurge laurel (D. laureola ) mentioned above, but this distinction is slight rather than really pronounced.

Pickhills Wood

Some tree-, shrub-species, e.g. 'Sorbus aria', Tilia), possibly need more careful scrutiny to confirm label.

NVC: W Woodlands



SITE DESCRIPTION:1 General Description

Foston Fox Covert's main feature of interest, a Heronry, precluded full survey of the site; the far western section being left unvisited. This part seemed well endowed with substantial trees, evidently favoured by the birds, so additional field-work could be useful to fill the gap!

Foston Fox Covert is a moderately large, rectangular in shape, flat and low-lying (c. 5 metres ASL), alluvially-based and sometimes damp woodland, accessed from Carr House Farm and explored internally by well-used tracks or paths. Some public visiting seems likely, probably as part of the farm's diversification programme.

2 Summary of Vegetation

Secondary condition is exemplified by the site's sub-mature, artificial character as well as the farmer's information that comprehensive re-planting was done 20 years ago. Deciduous content was assessed at 98%.

3 Details of Vegetation

Partially offsetting aura of recent development, some trees, particularly beeches (Fagus sylvatica ), seem large, old specimens. More demonstration of this character may well typify the unvisited western end of the site.

However, both sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ) and ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) much exceed beech in numbers, also providing much of self-sown young growth; in the case of ash, notably dominating one tract. No other species reaches better than rare to occasional occurrences as mature timber, but oak ( Quercus sp.) is also well represented by young trees, and alder ( Alnus glutinosa ) seedlings also occur profusely around a wet hollow, Elm ( Ulmus sp.) still exists in this site.

Conifers in general form a very unimportant element in Foston Fox Covert, and can be described as "not of the usual 'commercial' species". Unidentified broad-leaved trees are probably Nothofagus sp. Also in the category of 'exotic plantings' are bird cherries ( Prunus padus ) that can be described as rare to occasional.

Shrub-species are well represented by hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ) and elder ( Sambucus nigra ), both recorded as frequent, but many specimens now attain almost tree-height, such that, combined with other relatively small forms such as bird cherries mentioned above, and a copious "youthful aspect" in parts, proper separation between woodland storeys seems less defined here than is normal.

Despite a convenient circular tour provided by 'official' rides, penetration off-track is difficult because of often congested vegetation at floor-level, comprising mainly cow parsley ( Anthriscus sylvestris ) and nettle ( Urtica dioica ). Very little true woodland ground-flora shows through in this competitive environment. Open space weeds are more common. Some of the most interesting species are associated with wet patches or the southern ditch.

4 Comments

This site probably/evidently has some educational or recreational value, in addition to its extant heronry, and is botanically interesting in a way, but not in terms of the usual criteria for conservation importance. In conclusion, quoting my notes after survey, " ....a difficult woodland to characterise or map".

SITE DESCRIPTION:Gembling Common is a mainly grassland site with streams running through it that add

diversity as they create a variable water table This has allowed the development of a

complex mosaic of neutral grassland, marshy grassland and fen habitats.

The neutral grassland is mostly semi-improved but there are some patches of greater

species diversity with field wood-rush ( Luzula campestris ) and lady's bedstraw (

Galium verum ) present. The ground is very uneven throughout the area and it is grazed

by cattle during the summer. In the wetter patches tall herb fen dominated by great

willowherb ( Epilobium hirsutum ) and nettle ( Urtica dioica ) can be found. These

species form dense patches around the common. In places there are depressions, which

have possible been excavated. These depressions comprise a number of rushes (

Juncus sp.) with open water areas full of floating sweet-grass ( Glyceria fluitans ) ;

although at the time of the visit these were dry.


1 of 10 07/12/2011 16:29

The streamsides are very species-poor with great willowherb ( Epilobium hirsutum ) the

dominant plant with virtually no aquatic vegetation; only very small patches of common

water-starwort ( Callitriche stagnalis ) . Water quality of the streams is poor.

Hedges, composed mainly of hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), surround the site and

there is a small area of alder ( Alnus glutinosa ) woodland that is open to the common on

its south side.

Gembling Common

Grazed common land grassland, which also contains a number of streams, allowing for

the development of small pockets of fen. Overall these provide an interesting mosaic of

habitats.

SITE DESCRIPTION:A long stretch of road verge extending generally E - W direction but with a few bends in the way. The nature of the road verge is very varied, not surprising given its length, however, the degree of variability is quite marked and this is related very much to the topography and the surrounding land use. The area is generally low-lying and is sometimes quite wet; all of this leads to a lot of variety both in the hedge and on the road verge.

Looking at the Southern verge first it begins innocuously just after a small road junction with a mown species-poor verge on which there is a small amenity plantation with wild plum ( Prunus domestica ) and pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ) . This borders a field of reverting, improved grassland. The hedge that

The rows are still clearly evident and the trees are roughly 7" / 17.5cm in diameter at breast height. This is the dominant canopy type to the west of the main ditch running through the wood, however, the ground flora is much more variable. Around the ditch there is a grove of large oak trees that are typically around 150 years old or so. East and north of this area, Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) close to 80 or so years of age is the dominant tree, this grading into an area of similar aged hybrid black-poplar ( Populus x canadensis ) to the east. These species are mixed together in the canopy in part of this area.

To the south of here the pine becomes mixed with pedunculate oak ( Quercus

SITE DESCRIPTION:A very complicated site which has been divided into three sections and numbered as

follows:

Wood 1 - Gransmoor Wood North is mostly a young plantation woodland where the

mixed broadleaves were planted in rows sometime between 20 and 25 years ago. The

rows are still clearly evident and the trees are roughly 7" / 17.5cm in diameter at breast

height. This is the dominant canopy type to the west of the main ditch running through the

wood, however, the ground flora is much more variable. Around the ditch there is a grove

of large oak trees that are typically around 150 years old or so. East and north of this

area, Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) close to 80 or so years of age is the dominant tree,

this grading into an area of similar aged hybrid black-poplar ( Populus x canadensis ) to

the east. These species are mixed together in the canopy in part of this area.

To the south of here the pine becomes mixed with pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur )

and, adjacent to the ride mentioned above, there is a plantation of 80 year old spruce (

Picea abies ). Around the woodland there are a number of older trees, including a few


1 of 8 15/02/2012 15:47

large oaks at the eastern boundary of the woodland.

Wood 2 - Isle of Man Wood is another plantation woodland, perhaps not quite as old as

Wood 1described above, but perhaps between 15 and 20 years of age. Again all the

trees have been planted in lines with pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ) and ( Acer

pseudoplatanus ) making up the majority of the plantings but really this was composed of

mixed broadleaves. There are a number of ditches that cut through the woodland but

these were all dry at the time of the visit. At one point there is a small winter-wet

depression that has a solitary grey willow / sallow ( Salix cinerea ) growing in it. Other

than this, which was bare ground, the rest of the wood is composed of two ground flora

community types and one of these entirely encloses the pheasant pen, which is near the

western end of the wood.

Wood 3 - Gransmoor Wood South is a similar wood to parts of Wood 1 in many

respects, however, about 40% of this woodland has been clear-felled a few years ago

and this area is now difficult to walk through with stumps, brash and copious regeneration

making walking treacherous. Within the felled area itself there is a lot of regeneration

(mainly birch) taking place although the release has allowed other plants to bolt, including

rosebay willowherb ( Chamerion angustifolium ) , elder ( Sambucus nigra ) , bramble (

Rubus fruticosus ) and foxglove ( Digitalis purpurea ). These plants make up the bulk of

the vegetation as there are no standing trees left. There are no large areas of planted

trees in this woodland and within the remaining trees there is a better age class structure

with 80 year old or slightly older trees forming the canopy, except where there has been

some planting in the west of the woodland, adjacent to the road.

Gransmoor Wood & Isle of Man Wood

A large, complicated suite of plantations; the majority of trees are less than 25 years old

and there is limited ground flora development.

NVC: S4 Phragmites australis swamp and reed-beds,MG9 Holcus lanatus-Deschampsia cespitosa grassland

SITE DESCRIPTION:This lake is a former quarry and is spring-fed. The surrounding vegetation is a mosaic of

scattered scrub, tall ruderal vegetation and species-poor neutral grassland.

There is a small amount of green algae, suggesting eutrophication, possibly caused by

wildfowl. There is no submerged vegetation as the lake is too deep. The only floating-

leaved species is a white water lily (possibly Nymphaea marliacea ), which could be an

introduced species as it is next to the slipway of Kelk Lake House.

Emergent species include locally dominant common reed ( Phragmites australis ), which

is the most common and widespread emergent species, followed by enclaves of locally

frequent bulrush ( Typha latifolia ), branched bur-reed ( Sparganium erectum ) and

lesser numbers of yellow iris ( Iris pseudacorus ) and mare's-tail ( Hippuris vulgaris ).

The majority of the lake banks are quite steep, and there are only a few suitable places

for marginal/wet mud species to establish themselves. (These areas are too small to

map). Species include locally frequent great willowherb ( Epilobium hirsutum ), hard rush

and compact rush ( Juncus inflexus, J. conglomeratus ) with small numbers of jointed

rush ( Juncus articulatus ), water mint ( Mentha aquatica ), common fleabane ( Pulicaria

dysenterica ), marsh horsetail ( Equisetum palustre ) and common spike-rush (

Eleocharis palustris agg.).

The neutral grassland species include locally frequent creeping bent ( Agrostis

stolonifera ), false oat grass ( Arrhenatherum elatius ), tufted hair-grass ( Deschampsia

cespitosa ), red fescue ( Festuca rubra ), hairy sedge ( Carex hirta ) and common bent (

Agrostis capillaris ), associated with occasional Yorkshire fog ( Holcus lanatus ),

frequent creeping cinquefoil ( Potentilla reptans ), locally frequent silverweed ( Potentilla

anserina ) with occasional curled dock and broad-leaved dock ( Rumex crispus, R.

obtusifolius ), autumn hawkbit ( Leontodon autumnalis ) and self-heal ( Prunella vulgaris

).

Tall ruderal species comprise locally frequent rosebay willowherb ( Chamerion

angustifolium ) and creeping thistle ( Cirsium arvense ).

Scattered scrub, includes locally frequent goat willow ( Salix caprea ) and common

gorse ( Ulex europaeus ) with occasional elder ( Sambucus nigra ) and hawthorn (

Crataegus monogyna ).

Little Kelk Wetland

This lake contains a sizable area of common reed swamp, but there is no submerged or

floating-leaved vegetation as the lake is too deep. For marginal vegetation to establish

the lake sides would need to be graded. Overall, as a wetland, this site contains limited

species diversity.

NVC: MG9 Holcus lanatus-Deschampsia cespitosa grassland,S4 Phragmites australis swamp and reed-beds

SITE DESCRIPTION:This lake is a former quarry and is spring-fed. The surrounding vegetation is a mosaic of

scattered scrub, tall ruderal vegetation and neutral grassland, predominantly relating to

MG9 (Holcus lanatus - Deschampsia cespitosa) grassland in the National Vegetation

classification (NVC) system. There is a small amount of green algae in shallow water

over a sandy shelf, suggesting local eutrophication from strandline decomposition. No

submerged vegetation was visible but fragments of curled pondweed ( Potamogeton

crispus ) and mare's-tail ( Hippuris vulgaris ) were found on the strandline. The only

floating leaved species is a white water lily (introduced species near Kelk Lake House.)

Emergent species include locally dominant common reed ( Phragmites australis )

forming small NVC S4 swamp reed beds, with locally frequent common bulrush ( Typha

latifolia ), branched bur-reed ( Sparganium erectum ), yellow iris ( Iris pseudacorus ),

common cotton-grass ( Eriophorum angustifolium ) and common spike-rush ( Eleocharis

palustris ) .

Marginal species, often in Great Willowherb ( Epilobium hirsutum ) tall-herb

communities, include locally frequent hard rush ( Juncus inflexus ) and compact-flowered


1 of 15 30/01/2014 12:19

Soft-rush ( Juncus effusus var. compactus ) with small numbers of jointed rush ( Juncus

articulatus ), water mint ( Mentha aquatica ), common fleabane ( Pulicaria dysenterica ),

marsh horse-tail ( Equisetum palustre ) and common spike-rush ( Eleocharis palustris ).

The neutral grassland species include locally frequent creeping bent ( Agrostis

stolonifera ) and brown bent ( A. canina ssp. Montana ), with red fescue ( Festuca rubra

) forming short-turf areas within coarser false oat grass ( Arrhenatherum elatius ), tufted

hair-grass ( Deschampsia cespitosa ) and Yorkshire-fog ( Holcus lanatus ) (representing

NVC MG9 grassland) with hairy sedge ( Carex hirta ), creeping cinquefoil ( Potentilla

reptans ) silverweed ( Potentilla anserina ) and self-heal ( Prunella vulgaris ) locally

frequent. Tall ruderal species comprise locally frequent rosebay willowherb ( Chamerion

angustifolium ) and creeping thistle ( Cirsium arvense ).

Scattered scrub includes occasional goat willow ( Salix caprea ), grey willow ( S.

cinerea ), common gorse ( Ulex europaeus ), elder (S ambucus nigra ) and hawthorn (

Crataegus monogyna ).

Of particular note was the high species density in the mown grass behind the office

buildings. Mowing is carried out sensitively with a two-height regime over a steep sandy

bank. As well as a miscellany of common species there was changing forget-me-not (

Myosotis discolor ), square-stemmed willowherb ( Epilobium tetragonum ), fairy flax (

Linum catharticum ), thyme-leaved sandwort ( Arenaria serpyllifolium ), hop trefoil (

Trifolium campestre ) and common centaury ( Centaurium erythraea ) as well as a

(possibly) rare waxcap fungus.

However, of high note was the diversity of marsh orchid taxa. None occurred in high

numbers or 'swarms' but singleton specimens or small groups were found across the

whole site. Each taxon found was notably consistent with historical records for a similar

site at Carnaby.

Little Kelk Wetland

This site is well-managed as a nature reserve in balance with the demands for

maintaining a safe and tidy industrial site. Being on the site of a former sand-gravel

quarry there is potential for the discovery of even more species, notably sand-loving

vernal ephemeral subjects. The lake is deep yet the water column appears to be

translucent. With evidence of deep-dwelling plants on the strand line there is the

possibility that grapnel trawls would yield further species of interest, perhaps

charophytes (stoneworts).

EVALUATION:Criteria passed: Mh2 (also passes Gr2 (26 species), Gr3 (10 species), Fe3 (24

species), Fe4 (16 species), Sw1 (14 species))

Site Data Search

Non-Statutory Sites Local Wildlife Sites: North Yorkshire Local Wildlife Sites are known in North Yorkshire as SINCs (Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation). A leaflet explaining about SINCs is available from the NEYEDC web site: go to http://www.neyedc.org.uk/index.php - then go to Data services/Local Wildlife Sites data/ North Yorkshire SINC panel/Documents/ SINC leaflets. The North Yorkshire SINC within the search area have been supplied in a GIS .shp file named 12-045 NY SINC. SINC status – SINCs that have been denotified by the North Yorkshire SINC panel have been surveyed and assessed against the SINC selection guidelines and found not to qualify as a SINC. We still report these sites in this report as some district planning authorities may still use the list of SINCs in their local development plan and not the dynamic process developed by the North Yorkshire SINC group. As such, SINCs that have been denotified should be considered for any planning applications. In addition these sites may not be of sufficient quality to qualify as a SINC but are still likely to be of higher ecological quality than other land in the area. A full species and habitat map along with a citation has been supplied in .pdf format for the two North Yorkshire SINC which lie within the ‘corridor’ area. Local Wildlife Sites: East Riding of Yorkshire A GIS .shp file named 12-045 EY LWS has been supplied which shows all the East Yorkshire LWS within the search area. A systematic survey of all Local Wildlife Sites in East Yorkshire is currently in progress. However this is only in its third year and as such there is little additional information regarding some East Riding of Yorkshire Local Wildlife Sites at present. Citation reports and maps have been supplied in .pdf format for all East Yorkshire LWS within the ‘corridor’ area where available [18 sites] and a report only for one additional site [Ravensthorpe Embankmant]. Local Wildlife Site Status – Deleted LWS The decision to delete LWS by the East Riding of Yorkshire LWS Panel is made based on one of the following situations;

• The site overlaps with a statutory designated site e.g. SSSI

• The site overlaps with another LWS or has been merged with another

• The site no longer exists e.g. through changes in land use or management

• The site has been surveyed and does not meet the robust LWS Guidelines for designation on habitat grounds.

Our Ref: 12-045 Your Ref: 60239049


In many cases just because a site has not met the high criteria for designation as an LWS it does not mean that it has no value for wildlife. The assessment is based on a botanical survey of the habitat and does not include surveys for animals including protected species, which the site may support. It may also be important as a local habitat as part of wider habitat network(s). It may be possible to enhance the value of the site for wildlife with certain types of management, which could even bring the site up to the standard required for designation as an LWS. If the site has been surveyed the citation for the deleted site will provide a description, botanical species list and scores against the LWS criteria. If proposed development directly impacts on a deleted LWS we would recommend evaluating the reasons for deletion and considering impacts on the site using this information and any other surveys required. Enhancements for biodiversity on site through development should build on the existing ecological interest.

Species data search The search of our species database search returned many records for the search area; the buffer area has been trimmed to the boundary of North & East Yorkshire so as to minimise possible duplication of records. The distribution of these is shown on the GIS .shp file named 12-045 Species Records. A key to and explanation of the colour coding used on this layer is supplied in a document named Legend for species Distribution Mapping. There is also a document named Species list which summarises all the notable and protected species found within the search area and the year of the most recent record for each [12-045 Species List]. The attribute data table can be viewed in a spreadsheet and interrogated for details of which organisations have collected the records and for any further analysis required. Please note that a lack of survey information for any particular area or taxonomic group does not necessarily mean that there is no nature conservation interest present and I would therefore recommend that a site survey is carried out in order to assess any ecological interest that might be present before proceeding with the development. Also in addition to the records shown on the enclosed sheet, there are records within the search area held by the North Yorkshire Bat Group. For further information on these records, you should contact the North Yorkshire Bat Group directly, contact details for which are given below. One particular point to bear in mind is that many bridges in North Yorkshire provide good opportunities for bats and support bat roosts. Please consult the North Yorkshire Bat Group regarding this aspect if the proposal is likely to require working close to or within the structure of any bridge. Bats are European Protected Species under the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c.) Regulations 1994. As you are probably aware, should a proposal be likely to affect or disturb bats and/or their roosts and therefore require derogation from the Regulations, a licence application to the Wildlife Licensing Unit, Natural England, is required in advance of the works commencing. The relevant contacts are: North Yorkshire: - John Drewett, Chairman, North Yorkshire Bat Group, No Man's Common, Arrathorne, Bedale, DL8 1NA. Tel: 01677 451886. www.nybats.org.uk [email protected] East Yorkshire: - Tony Lane, East Yorkshire Bat Group, 7 Orchard Road, Skidby, Cottingham, East Yorkshire, HU17 5TL.

NB: The species search has been restricted to records from 1960. However, if older records are specifically required, these may be obtained at additional cost from NEYEDC upon request.

From: John Hirschfield [Sent: 12 June 2012 12:23To: Crouthers, Rachel j.Cc: 'PETER DRURY'; Derrick Venus; PetePizzardSubject: Ecological Data Request

Hi Rachel,I am John Hirschfield and I am the secretary of the Hull Valley Wildlife Group. The Hull Valley Wildlife Group

has received a request for data in respect of the Hull Valley Recording area with regard the proposal for the crosscountry pipe line from the coast at Barmston, East Yorkshire, to the village of Cottingham and the proposed routevia the River Hull Corridor. The email you sent was forwarded to Jonathan Spencer who in turn forwarded it to ourcommittee for consideration and response.

We deliberated this matter at the Hull Valley Wildlife Group Committee meeting on the 20th of May 2012, and I havebeen requested to contact you with regard to the decision of the committee in this matter. It was felt that althoughHull Valley Wildlife Group records obtained from within this recording area, the data is collected by Hull ValleyWildlife Group members for the production of our annual report which is currently produced and printed annuallyand is available via our web site. It was aslo felt by the committee that the data you are requesting from us is maynot be sufficient to safeguard the wildlife and bird migration utilising the River Hull Corridor which would beaffected by the pipeline proposal. It was also of concern to our committee that the use of our records for thepurpose you propose would be a misuse in terms of our commitment to the preservation of wildlife within the HullValley Recording Area which is enshrined within our constitution.

Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please email me or write to me at the address below.

Yours Sincerely,

John Hirschfield.

Hi Rachel

I’ve just spoke to John and he said that they don’t send out published versions of the report anymore as

they are not accurate for companies to use in reports.

He said all the records for 2010 are on this website:

Hi Tom

Great Thanks for that. I don’t think I have any other contacts for the group, as when I previously

contacted other members via email they always forwarded the details to the secretary.

Thanks

Hi Rachel

Thank you for your data search request. The results are attached. Please note that our filtering methods are notdesigned to carry out searches of long corridors. As far as possible we have filtered out irrelevant records, but toavoid deleting data that is relevant to your search area, some records outside your area of search are likely to beincluded. We would appreciate any new records generated by your project in order that our database is as up-to-date and comprehensive as possible.

The records supplied have been accumulated since the late 1970s as a result of reports of bats by the public; visits toprovide advice to those reporting bats in their property; and results reported by some consultants carrying outsurveys in connection with planning applications, etc. Also included are results from surveys undertaken directly byNorth Yorkshire Bat Group and by volunteers taking part in the National Bat Monitoring Scheme. No comprehensivebat survey of North Yorkshire has been undertaken, so these records are likely to provide an incomplete picture ofthe bat fauna for the area of search. The absence of records for any location does not necessarily indicate theabsence of bats at that site. The presence of bats at any site only indicates that the bats were present on the datestated. A validation process is applied to all records so where there is doubt about the accuracy of any speciesrecorded the record may show a less precise identification than that provided by the original recorder.

Best wishes, John

Thank you for your reply. With regards to your query about the additional report for £220, we do not require thisinformation at present. However I appreciate your thoroughness and the level of detail this would provide.Therefore, we are only requesting the data within the 11 grid squares

Thank you and kind regards

A total of twenty one thousand butterfly records (covering twenty nine species) were providedby Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire. Records made at the same location but on differentdates were classed as individual records.

Of these species only ten were considered as being either nationally significant (i.e. listed onthe UK Biodiversity Action Plan Species) or were identified as locally scarce by ButterflyConservation Yorkshire:

UK Biodiversity Action Plan Species:Dingy SkipperWhite Letter HairstreakWhite Admiral

UK Biodiversity Action Plan Species (added for research only):Small HeathWall Brown

Locally Scarce Species (as advised by Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire):Green HairstreakPurple HairstreakBrown ArgusMarbled WhiteGatekeeper

Records of all ten significant species were geographically plotted and eight of the ten specieswere found to have been recorded within the Emerging Corridor November 2012:Brown ArgusDingy SkipperGatekeeperMarbled WhitePurple HairstreakSmall HeathWall BrownWhite Letter Hairstreak

Missing or unexpectedly low counts for gulls and terns should be treated with caution - counting these groups is optional and determination of count effort not always possible.For some species (e.g. wintering geese) data collected by other surveys may be more appropriate for the purpose of site assessment.

These tabulations are based exclusively on data collected as part of the monthly Core Counts.Data provided by the British Trust for Ornithology on behalf of The Wetland Bird Survey.

Dear Clare

Sorry for the delay in responding to you but busy with bird surveys, the barn owls have decided to nest amonth earlier than usual!

The pipeline route is quite lengthy but we have good barn owl data for about two-thirds of the 3 km widecorridor and part of the length includes a barn owl SRA. I am aware of the areas where Robin is involvedand we liaise quite regularly so I doubt there will be much overlap in between us but you will need tocombine the two sets of data.

Unfortunately because this desk study covers an extensive area it will take us a full day to organise andreport the data to you and will need to charge £185.00 plus vat.

We have been involved in pipelines many times before with what was once Transco and more recently NG.This eventually involved surveys and installation of barn owl and kestrel nestsites at 3 km intervals alongthe lengths of the pipeline routes as a means of building in beneficial biodiversity features/compensatoryfeatures into the scheme. Just a thought but something you might like to recommend to NG?

Let me know if we can help with the Desk Study etc.

Best wishes

I am replying on behalf of Colin who has been out of the office for most of the week.

I know that we will be able to advise you on specific data that we have, mainly Barn Owl, in the area you haveoutlined. Colin will email you on Monday in more detail re charges etc.

I attach a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with details of the five active Barn Owl Tyto alba sites within the 2km corridormonitored by the Wolds Barn Owl Group. We have other sites which are outside your area of interest but closeenough for the birds to hunt within it. The sites, particularly those within the Hull Valley, are in an area of excellenthabitat with a high density Barn Owl population. There are,to my knowledge, three other Barn Owl workers with theirown active nest sites monitored within the corridor.

Dear Rachel,

Sorry for the delay in replying but we get a number of requests from ‘Consultant Ecologists’ and as our bird clubcommittee members are all volunteers (most with full-time jobs), none of us have the time or the inclination tocarry out work for these organizations.

All I can suggest is that you visit our website (below) and purchase previous reports (latest 2009) and search for anyrelevant data yourselves.

http://www.tka.co.uk/yoc/index.htm

In any case, there are very few records relating to the area you are concerned with as it is in the extreme southeastof our recording area and receives very little coverage from birdwatchers.

You could also try contacting the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union (YNU) who collate all data for Yorkshire as a whole andproduce their own bird reports which are more up to date than ours. Contact Craig Thomas

Hope you find what you’re looking for.

Best regards,

Andy BoothYork area Recorder

Dear Mr Booth

Commercial in ConfidenceEcological Data Search

My colleague previously contacted you with regards to data available on protected species and other records of ecological interestfor the proposed Yorkshire and Humber Carbon Capture Scheme (CCS) Cross Country Pipeline. Would you be able to assist withthis enquiry? Please find the initial email below, which provides information about the project and our data enquiry.

AECOM have been commissioned on behalf of National Grid to undertake an Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) of theproposed Yorkshire and Humber Carbon Capture Scheme (CCS) Cross Country Pipeline. The proposed route of the pipeline isapproximately 75km in length which is shown on the map attached. If you wish to know more about the CCS Pipeline then pleasevisit www.ccshumber.co.uk for further details.

In order to gain as full a picture as possible regarding the ecology of this area, we are writing to identify whether you hold anyrelevant information within 2km of the boundary of the preferred route corridor (see attachment). Relevant information over thelast ten years would include records of protected species and any other records of ecological interest. We do not need informationregarding statutory and non-statutory sites.

Dear Natural England EPS Licensing Team

National Grid is currently developing proposals for the provision of an underground pipeline approximately 75km inlength to support the development of a Carbon Capture Scheme (CCS) project in the Yorkshire and Humber region;known as the Yorkshire and Humber CCS Pipeline – further details of the project can be found athttp://www.ccshumber.co.uk. The project is classified as a National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP).

National Grid and AECOM (the appointed project environmental consultants) are keen to build a good relationshipwith Natural England, and to have open lines of communication throughout the life of the project. James Walsh,Lead Adviser for Land Use Operations for the Local Government Team is part of the project’s Ecology ThematicGroup and has been party to the initial start up meeting for the project. James has endorsed that we should directthis consultation through in this way – and copy him in to ensure he is kept in the loop for the future thematicgroup meetings proposed.

The current programme for the project is for submission of a Development Consent Order (DCO) to theInfrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) in autumn/winter 2013.

The project is in early stages, but Natural England’s recent guidance ‘Notice to all developers and developers’consultant ecologists with regard to NSIPs involving European Protected Species (EPS) and applications to the IPC fora DCO (Doc ref WML-G36 12/11) has been reviewed and considered by AECOM. As endorsed by the NSIP guidance,we now wish to engage with the NSIP Licensing team with regards to the scope and approach for the completion ofecological surveys, and recognise that as part of the proposed process as detailed in the guidance document, a goodrelationship with the NE licensing team needs to be established at an early stage.

Initially we would like to engage with yourselves with regards to the proposed scope and approach to thecompletion of great crested newt (GCN) surveys. The attached document details in principle the proposed surveyscope methodology for GCN for the project, taking into account the current proposed project programme. AECOMrecognise the proposed scope and approach to completion of GCN surveys inevitably has a bearing factor on theultimate information being used to inform any future licence applications and seek to agree an approach which ispragmatic and logistic.

Due to the large scale of the project, we would greatly appreciate comments from Natural England regarding theoutlined approach. We look forward to hearing from you in due course, and please do not hesitate to contact meshould you have any queries.

Dear Claire

Thanks for your email and getting in touch with licensing early in your NSIP project.

I have read your documents relating to the National Grid Yorkshire and Humber Carbon Capture Scheme (CCS)Cross-Country Pipeline Scheme and have the following comments which I hope you will find useful:

Natural England acknowledges the difficulties in preparing and undertaking surveys for these NSIP caseswhere hundreds of newt ponds are found, particularly for a proposed route alignment which is yet to beagreed. We hope our published guidance provides sound advice on how consultants such as yourself canmake sensible decisions on what the minimum survey efforts required is to support a licence application.The proposal is generally well thought out and is generally in line with our guidance. Most of the impacts forthis NSIP will be temporary in nature.The risk assessment tables are for a guide only and you need to take in factors such as habitat quality,presence of dispersal barriers etc into consideration rather than solely relying on the table before youconclude it is highly unlikely offences will be committed. You acknowledge this in your assessment.Figure 2 was no longer available to view when I came to look at the documents.The approach of sampling a cluster of ponds appears logical but if no newts are found in the 50% pondssurveyed this is not to say that they are not present, you may just not have sampled ponds they are in. It ismentioned that you took the proposed survey approach in agreement with NE as part of the Western HighVoltage Direct Current (HVDC) – can you tell me in agreement with whom?At the licensing stage we would have to have maps of all ponds within the route identified with it clearlymarked which ones were surveyed and which ones were not. In addition to this the justification for scopingout some and not surveying others would have to be provided.NE agrees it is sensible to undertake a presence and absence survey on all ponds within the route area,after your scoping exercise. It is worth bearing in mind that if presence of newts is found on the 1st visit nofurther visits would need undertaken to that pond. The same applies if they were found on visit number 2 or 3.I think it is being suggested that 4 visits will be undertaken in 2012 and a further 2 in 2013 in those pondsthat supported newts. If I am correct in my assumption, this is not an approach we would support so I amhoping I am wrong and have misunderstood the situation. 6 visits for a population size class assessmentshould be made in the same year.From the 2012 survey results you will scope out which ponds require a population size class assessment in2013 (once the final route is known) and those that do not need any further survey other than that undertakenin the 2012 presence and absence survey. It may be that for some sections the 2012 presence/absencesurveys will suffice (and no further survey effort is required in 2013), whereas in areas with permanent landtake you may need to undertake further surveys.In the linear sections of the route a minimum of 25 day trapping is permitted (see guidance in E4 in themethod statement template). Therefore it is likely that for these sections you should be able to justify why apresence and absence survey will suffice, if impacts will genuinely be temporary.I’m afraid I am confused by Table 1 and accompanying text when a population size class assessment wouldbe undertaken on not.Your mop up survey criteria seems sensible.When it comes to submitting the draft licence application the timetable will be based on when the works willtake place (2014 or 2015), and survey data must fit with ‘maximum age of survey data’ as per our guidance.This may differ depending on the impacts and the works taking place in the different sections so furthersurvey may be required to support any licence application in certain sections.Where access to survey is refused you will need to provide evidence of this when you submit the draftapplication. NE take a pragmatic approach to this particular issue, but hopefully you will get access to surveythe majority of ponds you need to.

Please may I ask that you keep in touch with ‘Licensing’ and let us know how things progress. Any emails should besent to [email protected] marked ‘for the attention of Kathryn Murray and John Gordon’ to helpus manage the case and keep an eye on things. If you can include the reference CCLP/36 that would be mosthelpful.

I’m happy to discuss this further if you wish so please feel free to contact me.

Dear James

Further to our meeting yesterday regarding the CCS project, as agreed please find attached the indicative ecologysurvey calendar outlining AECOM proposed scope of ecological survey work for the project. I have also attached theecology survey elements extracted from the overall environmental programme. You will see we have includedsurveys into 2013 to allow for any remaining ‘mop up’ work that may still be required, however as discussed thesurvey work is predominantly programmed to be completed in 2012.

As discussed you did not have any significant objections or comments to make regarding the proposed scope,therefore if you could confirm that, in principal , the proposed scope and indicative timings are agreeable I would begrateful.

As I’m sure you’ll appreciate any comments you may have would be useful to receive at this critical stage ofplanning and resourcing.

I will send out an invitation to all CCS ecology thematic group members in due course – currently looking at a datewithin last week of August to hold another CCS meeting and we would greatly appreciate it if you could attend.

Regards

Introduction The National Grid appointed land agents have over the last few months been negotiating formal agreed access to undertake environmental and engineering survey work on land holdings located within the CCS pipeline route corridor (PRC). Based upon information provided by the agents, National Grid are now considering their options with regards to pursuing access to some of these land holdings which access to date has not been formally secured, via the legal process of Section 53: Rights of entry (Planning Act 2008). Land being considered for this approach is those parcels located in key areas along the potential route corridor and where there is a justifiable requirement to take access. The plan attached highlights the land holdings currently to which this is applicable. As appointed environmental consultants, AECOM have been instructed to advise National Grid and their legal team if access to undertake ecological surveys (and other environmental surveys including archaeology and noise) is imperative to the progression and completion of a robust Environmental Statement (ES). The approach to the completion of the Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) in the event access cannot be gained in advance of the ES being prepared have also been considered including the option of any alternative approach to addressing potential impacts/legal requirements. OPTIONS FOR THE EcIA WHERE PARCELS OF LAND ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE It is considered that there are two options available for completing the EcIA, where access is not available to survey parcels of land:

A) Access to the land is pursued by all means available to National Grid; namely via the Section 53 process to allow surveys to be conducted in accordance with recommended survey methodologies (as appropriate). Support the Section 53 applications by stating the absolute need to access the land to undertake the survey work. This is in order to assess the impacts and mitigation requirements to support the EcIA and EIA. This would include justifications, as set in case law (by the Hardy case

1), that

surveys are required in advance of submission in line with the 1st principles of the EIA

regulations. Some of the land parcels have been subject to Extended Phase 1 Habitat Surveys under verbal agreements. In this case, AECOM therefore have a well informed case to support the need to complete other species/habitat surveys.

B) Access cannot be achieved to undertake surveys – ‘informed assessment’/Assumption of

Presence Approach An approach in principle of how potential impacts would be addressed where access is not able to be gained to assess habitat /species status and an assumption of presence would need to be taken. Assessment would be drawn from a number of other factors including; status of species from aerial photography; surveys conducted locally; and desk study information. Evidence of the access refusal would be provided to support draft license applications.

AECOM/NATIONAL GRID PREFERRED APPROACH Following further discussion with National Grid, the preferred approach for the EcIA is Option A. This would ensure the EcIA and mitigation approach is appropriate and accurate. In the event that access cannot ultimately be secured (either by Section 53 or otherwise), in advance of the Environmental Statement submission (anticipated date September 2013), Option B would then be undertaken. This is in order to fill the information gap to complete the EcIA and/or a protected species licence application. Option B would need to be discussed in greater detail with Natural England and the licensing unit when the outcome of the Section 53 process is known. Evidence of the access refusal would be provided to support draft license applications (where applicable). LETTER OF ENDORSEMENT FROM NATURAL ENGLAND AND FURTHER COMMENTS In order to pursue AECOM and National Grid’s preferred approach above, we would like to request a letter of endorsement from Natural England. This is in order to support the justification documents being presented to progress the Section 53 applications for the CCS scheme, and re-affirm the requirements to conduct ecological surveys to support the EcIA. We would a welcome any comments you may have regarding Option B above, particularly if it is required at a later stage. If you require any further information/clarification in regards to the above please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi Clare

Please find attached a letter stating our support for the survey approach for each of the candidates.

Unfortunately, due to extremely high workload at the moment I have not yet had a chance to go through the EIAscoping chapter. Will there be a further opportunity to comment on this at formal consultation stage? If not, I canprovide you with a letter setting out what we would expect to be included in an EIA, which is what we wouldnormally send in response to EIA scoping requests.

Also please let me know if you need me to send a signed copy of the attached letter in the post.

James

National Grid would like to thank you for the letter dated 12th November which supports the Option A approach,(whereby all means available are pursued in order to the gain access to land to carry out ecological surveys) and assuch provides endorsement to the Section 53 process which is currently being progressed by National Grid for theYorkshire and Humber Carbon capture, Storage and Transportation Pipeline project.

As discussed yesterday, following a review of the information, including the letter provided, AECOM have beenadvised by National Grid and their appointed legal advisors that there remains a risk that a more specificendorsement from the relevant statutory authorities, of the survey scope for each of the current Section 53candidates could be requested in due course by the Planning Inspectorate (PINs).

Therefore a summary of the scope of ecology surveys which has been recommended by AECOM to form part of theSection 53 application for each of the current 8 candidates, has been prepared and attached here, in order to seek

2

your approval of the scope of work for each candidate. The intention being to provide further supporting evidencefrom Natural England that the surveys and methods proposed by AECOM for each specific candidate are consideredto be necessary in principle for the purposes of conducting an Ecological Impact Assessment for a project of thisscale.

I have also attached the justification documents that AECOM have prepared for each candidate. In hindsight to ourconversation I have attached the documents for all 8 candidates, rather than just one as an example as I suggestedon the phone.

Although they are lengthy, they do provide the background as to why certain surveys have been proposed in eachcase to support the summary table. The methodology sections however remain consistent throughout eachjustification in the main. It is not therefore necessarily the intention that you would review these documents intheir entirety (I appreciate you are short of time) but they are provided for information. Furthermore I will also sendyou (separately due to their size) overview plans showing the locations of the parcels along the CCS PipelinePreferred Route Corridor (PRC) for each candidate.

Wherever possible a letter response would be useful specific to each candidate, however if this is not possible asingle letter outlining each candidate by names would be most welcomed, which could be duplication for eachapplication.

A similar endorsement of the archaeological and geophysical survey work is being progressed with English Heritageand local authority archaeologists.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to give me call. I would greatly appreciate if you wouldbe able to provide a response by Tuesday 27th November.

James

Thanks for the response,

Fully appreciate the comments made with regards to the assumption of presence approach and the difficulties thispresents in terms of the assessment - particularly with regards to determining appropriate mitigation measures andrequired information to support license applications. This is certainly considered to be the second/last resortapproach in the event that access cannot be obtained and would be based upon as much information available tous including surveys in surrounding areas and habitat suitability information. We recognize that for some species itmay be easier to draw a conclusion of presence/likely absence than drawing conclusions about the specific of otherse.g. number/species/type of roost.

By default from your comments, it appears therefore that Natural England would support the ‘Option A’approach. As such would it be possible as requested to provide a short letter/note to provide endorsement of theSection 53 application to gain entry to the land and avoid the ‘alternative assumption of presence’ approach. Thiswould provide supplementary support to the justifications documents being prepared to progress the Section 53applications for the CCS scheme, and re-affirm the requirements to conduct ecological surveys to support the EcIA.

The Section 53 application process has been discussed over the last few weeks and is not directly linked in with thepurpose of the scoping meeting tomorrow. Given timescales currently proposed would sincerely appreciate afurther reply ASAP if at all possible.

Regards



Thanks Clare. I can provide the following advice at this stage with regard to the approach set out in your letter:

The ‘assumption of presence’ approach needs to be treated with caution. We cannot issue precautionarylicences and so there needs to be some certainty about the actual impacts of the proposal.

The situation with regard to great crested newts is somewhat easier, as if there are ponds with GCN in thesurrounding area and the parcel contains suitable habitat, then it may be reasonably likely to assume GCNpresent. However with bats, the presence of suitable features needs and records of bats in the vicinity doesnot necessarily mean that there will be a roost on site. There is also uncertainty regarding species, type ofroosts etc.

The letter states that the assessment would be drawn from a number of other factors including; status ofspecies from aerial photography, surveys conducted locally and desk study information. We would advisethat the assessment should also take into account factors such as local species records, habitat suitability on

4

and surrounding the site and presence or absence of barriers to movement. Please consider whethersurveys need to be carried out outside of the preferred route corridor in areas where access is not granted.

I hope this helps in advance of our meeting tomorrow.

Kind regards

James

In principal this approach would need to be taken to relate to any/all species that could be present (or that cannotjustifiable be ruled out) – not just GCN (EPS).

Clare



Claire

Can you let me know which species could be included in the ‘assumption of presence’ approach if this is required –is this just GCN or could it potentially be bats / other species as well?

James/Kathryn

Would it be possible to indicate if you have had chance to review and consider the e-mail I sent through on the1st Nov? National Grid are wishing to finalise the draft Section 53 applications this week.

I have removed the overview plans this time as I have just had a undeliverable message on last sending this messagethis morning. Could you confirm you received the pdf as well as the overview plan on the 1st Nov.

6

Since the 1st there has also been a slight reduction in the number of potential Section 53 candidates with a couple ofthe areas to which this applies becoming accessible, however a number (~9 canditates) are still being progressed.

Happy to discuss further with either of you today.

Regards

James

A short time ago we had a telephone discussion about the issue of access limitations along the Yorkshire andHumber Carbon Capture, Transportation and Storage (CCS) pipeline corridor and the potential implication on theEcological Impact Assessment (EcIA) approach. Apologies for the delay since speaking to you about this to follow upwith written communication.

Please find attached a summary of the current access issues along with accompanying visual plans showing allcurrent areas within the preferred route corridor (PRC) where access is proving difficult. All things considered twomain options are available in terms of moving forward to the completion of the EcIA. AECOM on behalf of NationalGrid would now like to seek endorsement from Natural England of the approach as described in the attached.

Kathryn – I have copied you (and the general EPS licensing address for thoroughness) here as this also has a bearingon the approach to preparation of the draft licence documents for this NSIP. I appreciate that it is now some timesince AECOM contacted the Natural Licensing NSIP team regards this project (in relation to the approach for greatcrested newt assessment in early 2012). Thus as the baseline studies progress I am keen to pick up a level ofcommunication with regards to approach to the EcIA and the longer term draft licence application documents.Based upon current timeframe these are likely needed to be drafted in mid/late summer 2013., with the ES draftingbeing undertaken around summer/autumn 2013.

If you have any queries regards the attached or require any further information please do not hesitate to contactme.

Kind regards

Hi Claire

In section B of the MS – some people have added that there are multiple land owners and then provide a list as anappended document, others state there the development crosses multiple landownership boundaries and state howmany – but explain the situation in relation to the NSIP and being able to undertake the works.

If you will be creating habitat compensation or require monitoring post development or habitat management andmaintenance that falls on someone else’s land then you should provide us with evidence that the landowner iscontent for this (e.g. monitoring ponds etc). You should explain the situation in the relevant section of the MS.

I hope that this helps.

Kathryn

Further my last re the GCN draft licence for the above NSIP project – would it be possible to clarify the approachregards the provision of landowner details (Section B – Method Statement).

The GCN licence approach is based upon the completion of all mitigation measures (exclusion and translocation )within the Application Boundary/DCO boundary. No additional land outside the Application Boundary is proposedto be required to effectively deliver the GCN mitigation with GCN being excluded out of the working areas intoreceptor areas all of which will be within the Application Boundary.

Therefore could you advise if we would need to provide specific names and address details of the landowners forlicensable land on the draft licence application?

The understanding I have been provided with from the legal team is that the DCO itself would provide thepermission/agreement to undertake all works pertaining to the completion of the project including environmentaland ecological mitigation within the Application Boundary (Order Boundary).

In terms of intended submission of the GCN draft licence it is now hoped to submit this within the next week or so.

Regards the reasoned stamen and the provision of supporting evidence I also spoke to your colleague Oliver Loweon this this morning.

Hi Clare

Many thanks for letting me know about the delay. I am afraid that we would be looking for a full draft RS (with allinformation intended to support this case) as otherwise we may not be able to assess the 3 tests and issue a letter ofno impediment (should they be met in principle). I suggest that you do submit as you intend and send on the detailedneeds case document as quickly as possible – but if we do not receive this in time to reach our conclusion (and withtime to consider it) it is highly likely that you will be asked for further information. Obviously I don’t understand exactlywhat this document will contain but it may affect the assessment of all 3 tests, as they are interlinked. Can you wait tillthis is ready before submitting?

Further to our last correspondence as below regarding the CCS Project and the intending draft EPS licencestimetable, there has been a shift in our clients programme therefore, the draft application submission for GCN isnot intended to be submitted to you until at least mid January 2014.

In terms of the evidence which will be provided to support the reasoned statement, a detailed ‘Needs Case’document is under preparation by National Grid however this may not be fully ready to submit with theApplication. It would be intended to complete the Reasoned Statement with sufficient justification text (extractedfrom the draft Needs Case where applicable) and provide other evidence documentation to support the

Statement. In the event that this detailed Needs Case report is considered to be required then this could beprovided latterly to the officer dealing with that element of the application. Would this be acceptable to do?

Would appreciate if you could let me know – appreciate you may well have already finished for the Christmas break.

Hi Clare

Thanks for letting me know the proposed timings for draft submissions – particularly for the GCN draft application.Would factor in additional time should revisions need to be made to any draft submission – so if you can submitsooner rather than later this will always be best and maximise the chance of receiving a “letter of no impediment” (i.e.we see no reason why a licence should not be issued in the future, should the DCO be granted, based on theevidence assessed to date).

I can also confirm that it is useful to stagger applications but it is likely that the person assessing the different speciesdraft applications will be different. December is also sometimes a tricky month as many people take their remainingleave, so if you can give me a heads up, at least a couple of weeks in advance, when they are likely to be submittedthis will help.

Thanks for your prompt response Kathryn, yes the call from Lorraine was relating to the same matter.

I anticipated your comments regarding the practicalities of the production of the various elements of the applicationforms/method statement and plans, and agree that yes we would need to ensure that these are clearly set outwithin the one application. We will review as we prepare the documents to ensure that this can be so ... and if itbecomes too complicated may need to re-consider this approach.

In terms of timescales for draft applications we are currently intending on getting draft licence applicationssubmitted to you this side of Christmas, ideally sooner rather than later in order to fit with National Grid Carbon’soverall timetable for the DCO application. It is intended that these will be submitted as and when each iscompleted rather than submitting all together in one go. Could you confirm this is preferable?

Regards bats and badger licence requirements we are currently seeking to gain agreement from National Gridregarding potential avoidance of some/all of the bat tree roost sites and badger setts to determine the number ofsites/license likely for these species. Based upon the current draft alignment of the Onshore Scheme and the resultsof surveys undertaken, 5 small non breeding tree roost sites and 3 active badger setts have been identified withinthe Limit of Deviation for the Pipeline. Once this is established I will provide you with an update.

Thanks

Dear Clare

Thanks for your email – I also see I have a voice message left yesterday from Lorraine so presume it is about thesame query.

It is possible to apply with a single draft GCN application covering the section of pipeline where you have identifiedthe need for a GCN licence (i.e. covering the 5 sections below which appear to span around 10km) but sometimesthis makes it slightly more unmanageable to put together (particularly regarding maps and survey details) and moretime consuming to assess. However, it you are able to structure your application in a way which provides allnecessary detail in a succinct manner (in the same way as the M/S template), particularly for the survey and impactssections, then we would accept this. If you have more than 10 ponds (which you will) then you will be aware of theadditional xl spreadsheet for pond survey data on our application form page that can be used (additional WML-A14-2)http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/regulation/wildlife/species/greatcrestednewt.aspx). You will however haveto calculate the peak counts etc by yourself etc, as set out in the s/s and also prepare an additional HSI section, setout in the same way as the XL MS template.

If you choose to submit a single draft application, we would however ask that your work schedule (E6a-E6b) for eachof the sections outlined below is clear and distinct, in addition to any mitigation or compensation proposed in sectionE of the MS template. This may require a separate section in the timetable for each specific area. Maps for each areaand newt population will also need to be clearly defined and at a suitable scale, particularly where there is permanentland take (e.g. Tollingham). You will be aware of the new requirements for annexed licences so all maps should bedated and referenced (e.g. with name of site/area) clearly and a separate timetable is required (which is on our website application page). There should also be grid references included for the start and end of the linear routes that willbe affected in each area to be covered by any licence, as we would only licence you for areas which need to becovered and not the entire NSIP route.

5

Please can you let me know when you are thinking you may be in a position to submit the draft GCNapplication(s). We are requesting 1 full colour paper copy of all maps for schemes of this type, to help assist theassessment process, so please can you factor this in.

Please can you also let me know what we can expect in terms of draft applications for bats and badgers too?

I am happy to discuss further if any of the above is unclear and will try and return Lorraine’s call today.

Dear Kathryn,

Further to your correspondence regarding the draft great crested newt licence for the above project, I am writing toask for some general advice regarding our approach to completion of draft licences, specifically the number of GCNlicences for the above NSIP project. For a previous pipeline project completed by AECOM of this nature, one licencewas applied for and obtained to cover all the great crested newt mitigation along the route. In order to reducerepetition (and workload for both parties) we would like to follow a similar approach for the CCS pipeline if NaturalEngland consider this appropriate.

From our population assessment surveys we have identified 5 distinct GCN populations located along the routewhich could be affected by the pipeline construction or by drainage works. Three of which are medium populationsand two of which are small. The approximate distance between each population is detailed below:

Newholme (medium population) - 1 pond, at the southern end of the schemeBrind (medium population) - 5 ponds, approx 1.5km north of NewholmeSpaldington (small population) - 2 ponds, approx 4.1km north of BrindWellambridge (small population) - 5 ponds, approx 2.1km north of SpaldingtonTollingham (medium population) - 4 ponds, approx 1.95km north of Wellambridge

At all locations the main effects will be the temporary partial loss of terrestrial habitat and temporary severance ofhabitat associated with the construction phase of the Pipeline.

At Brind, an ephemeral drain feeds a known breeding pond (and adjacent to a local road) will be affected if an opencut method is used to crossing the drain/road, resulting in temporary partial loss of another feature used fordispersal and possible breeding. At Tollingham in addition to the Pipeline effects, permanent loss of arable habitatwill occur to facilitate the construction of the Above Ground Installation site; Block Valve.

As the impacts are generally similar it is considered that it would be manageable to proceed with the application ofone combined draft licence to cover all the known great crested newt populations along the route; could confirm ifyou would concur that this approach would be acceptable?

If you have any queries or require additional information please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Dear Clare

I am afraid that I was on another call when you left a message but wanted to let you know that I will be unable toattend a call on the 23rd and will try and speak to you by the end of the week so I can find out a bit more about what itis you require when you say you wish to discuss mitigation requirements and an in principle approach. If you areeffectively seeking a peer review of your proposals then it may be that our Pre-submission screening service route isyour best option and I attach the link to this service so you can see what is on offer:http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/regulation/wildlife/species/epsscreening.aspx.

We strongly encourage anyone who requires a letter of comfort to apply as soon as possible in accordance with ourguidance; should your draft application not have received a letter of comfort, or some issues remain outstanding whenthe application is made to PINs, you and your client will have evidence to show that we are working together toresolve issues. Indeed, we copy our responses to PINs. We are unable to comment on what the implications could beif this is not in place, different inspectors appear to handle cases differently, but believe that all necessary consentsare to be in place before a DCO is granted.

Kathryn

Thanks for your response.

I think at this stage we are seeking a general input/advice with regards to approach to licensing for NSIP’s as to datethis is something we have not specifically discussed for the CCS project with James (given it is not his remit) to

7

supplement the guidance note. AECOM have completed detailed ecology surveys in 2013 and continue to do so thisyear and are keen the approach to licensing at this early stage in advance of drafting application documents. It ishoped by doing this at this stage it would seek to assist in the longer term with any potential requests for furtherinformation etc.

Likely licensing requirements will be for GCN, bats and badger.

AECOM are in a position to confirm in principal GCN licensing requirements following completion of the 2013surveys and so would wish to set out approach in principal in advance of drafting the full licence methodstatements. We would be to provide summary information on this upon which to base discussions.

We are still continuing bat surveys and so as yet are not yet clear of the exact licence requirements for bats,however again would like to discuss mitigation in principal approach as we seek to complete surveys this year.

It would be greatly informative to understand the approach to programme in the event that the licence applicationsare still being considered by NE at the stage that an application to PINS of a NSIP is sought. It is understood that forsome NSIP applications have indeed being made to PINS without letter of comfort yet been provided – it is sought toensure that this is not the case with the CCS pipeline project but to understand the implication to our client ifdiscussions regarding licence applications were still ongoing.

I would be greatly if you could consider this required, subject to agreement of fees I would consider it likely that ourclient is able to consider payment for attendance at the meeting.

Could I suggest Tuesday 23rd July as a provisional date, even if this were via tele conference rather than in person?

Dear Hannah

Please can you set out in an email to me specifically what it is which you wish to discuss with licensing, as I see thatyou are not at a stage to submit draft applications to us. I am also unclear on what species licences you will beapplying for. For Licensing to be able to comment and add value at this stage, we would need you to set this outclearly.

1. From your proposed agenda I see - Letters of comfort / draft license applications /approach to be taken whereaccess has not been possible

With regard to letters of comfort – these will only be issued following an assessment of a full draft application and onlywhen we consider the application is likely to meet the 3 tests based on the information provided within the application.The process set out in the NSIP guidance note will be followed.Draft licence applications – these will need to be submitted as soon as they are ready as set out in the NSIP licensingguidance note. Can you explain which species will be affected?Approach to be taken where access has not been possible – as for any application submitted in the ‘usual’ mannerwe will require evidence to show that efforts have been made to acquire access and that it has been refused (letters,emails, responses back to you). The draft licence application should be quite clear in showing where access wasgranted and where it was refused and the impact that this had on assessing the route, establishing proposals etc. Itmay be that should a DCO be granted then surveys in these areas may be required before the formal licenceapplication is submitted, but we will be able to advise this following an assessment of your draft applications.

I should point out that our attendance at a meeting may also be chargeable – and I will look into this further. In themeantime if you can respond to my questions that would be helpful but I will also try and give you a ring early nextweek to help me understand better what input you are looking for from licensing.

I got your contact of the NSIP and EPS Mitigation licensing guidance note WML-G36 (07/12). I appreciate we haveestablished a local NE contact on this project with James, however we are seeking a discussion to also involve arepresentative of NSIP Licensing Team and as I am yet unclear who is the nominated case officer for this project is?

We have historically had some correspondence with Kathryn Murray but this was some time ago and notextensively, thus I have copied you in as requested in the guidance, as well as the general consultations address.

Could you advise if there is anyone within NSIP Licensing Team who would be appropriate to forward this requestto? Alternatively should I expect this to request to be processed also via the consultations route?

James – Regards your reply I am aware of the Discretionary Advice Service in these matters but I’m afraid I amunclear if you are indicating that we would definitely need to take that route to arrange a meeting to discuss thetopics as set out below?

At this stage we are yet to prepare draft licenses for the scheme so are not in the scenario of falling under the EPSlicensing advice service.

Dear Natural England NSIP Team

AECOM have been commissioned to undertake the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on behalf of NationalGrid Carbon (NGC) of the above proposed Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project. As part of this processAECOM have to date undertaken a series of locally based consultation meetings with relevant environmentalstakeholders; for ecology this has involved a series of thematic group meetings with James Walsh from your Leedsoffice as well as other organisation representatives such as Environment Agency, Local Authority Ecologists andYorkshire Wildlife Trust.

As the project now progresses; the current proposed timeframe for the completion of the EIA and submission to ThePlanning Inspectorate is by the end of 2013, NGC and AECOM would now like to request a further meeting withNatural England in relation to the Ecological Impact Assessment in particular.

The indicative scope of the meeting is suggested below:

2. Project and programme update3. Update on the progress of ecological surveys4. HRA Screening5. SSSIs and DCO requirements / assent requirements under the 28(G) and 28(I) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act

19816. Local Wildlife Sites – update on discussions with East Riding of Yorkshire Council7. Scoping Report response – requirement for a Phase 2 Habitat Survey8. Architectural concept for the Pumping Station9. Indicative landscape proposals for the other AGIs, species mix and use of BAP species10. Introduction to and approach to dealing with drainage limits of deviation11. Letters of comfort / draft license applications /approach to be taken where access has not been possible12. Statements of common ground13. AOB

The preferred would be a face to face meeting at a mutually convenient location; suggestion would be ideally at ourLeeds office or another of AECOM or National Grid’s offices. This can be agreed once a suitable date has beenagreed.

Potential initial dates for this meeting based upon our availability are:

12

13. Tuesday 16th July14. Friday 19th July15. Monday 22nd July16. Tuesday 23rd July17. Thursday 25th July

James – it is hoped that you would also be able to attend this meeting.

If you wish to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact either myself or Charlotte Clinton on 0161 9278310.

Your Ref:

Dear David RE: Fisheries Data Thank you for your enquiry dated 22nd October 2013. We have no record of any fish surveys taking place on Carr Dike/ Lendall Drain, Willow Row Drain and Old Derwent. Looking on our system these are only very small watercourse. Historically (before WFD) we only monitored watercourses that were principle fisheries, and as they have no angling interest they were under our radar. I understand that you already have the data for the tidal River Ouse. 5 River Foulness The nearest routine fisheries monitoring site to the proposed crossing point is a Major Bridge (SE 78016 38093). Like the neighbouring Market Weighton Canal fish numbers in these area are very transitional and relate to spawning migrations. In 2011 the last time the site was surveyed Three Spined Stickleback; Dace; Gudgeon; Perch; Roach and Stoneloach were recorded. In 2007 Dace, Gudgeon, Perch, Pike, Roach, Rudd and Silver Bream were recoreded, in addition to this Common Bream were caught in 2006. Angling in the area has also seen chub caught too. Angling interest in the river is limited as well as Hull and District AA controlling the lower reaches, Market Weighton Angling Club may rent a stretch of the river. Unfortunately no fisheries data is present for (4) Old Derwent; (2) Willow Row Drain and (1) Carr Dike/Lendall Drain. If these drains do hold water all the year round, the fish population is likely to be limited to eel and stickleback. 6 Market Weighton Canal:-

2

The canal in its lower reaches is a popular recreational fishery, the extent of this coarse and eel fishery ranges from Weighton Lock were the canal discharges into the Humber Estuary. This upstream migratory barrier is to shortly receive an elver pass. The upstream limit of angling interest is the confluence of the canal with the River Foulness. Angling on the canal is controlled by the Environment Agency, to the south of the Road Bridge in Newport. North of the Bridge the angling is controlled by Newport Parish Council the limit of their control ceases were Seavy Carr Drain is pumped into the canal near Sandholme Landing. Hull & District Anglers’ Association do control some fishing at the lower end of the River Foulness. The nearest fisheries site to the proposed crossing is at the Gauging Weir near Wholsea Grange (SE 84469 34401). This year (2013) the electric fishing survey yielded Three Spined Stickleback, Bullhead, Dace, Perch, Pike, Roach and Stoneloach downstream of the weir. In 2004 the same site yielded Chub, Dace, European Eel, Gudgeon, Perch, Pike, Roach and Ruffe. Upstream of the weir only Three Spined Stickleback and European Eel was recorded. The gauging weir has been identified as a structure that will need to be improved under the new eel passage regulations. The number and type of fish present in this section of the canal changes throughout the year with large numbers of coarse fish particularly roach and silver bream move up the canal to spawn. 7 Bracken Beck:- I am not that familiar with this particular stretch of Beck, and we have no fisheries survey data, held on the National Fish Population Data Base. Based on the experience of electric fishing similar small chalk stream, the typical fish aggregations of a small chalk stream namely a small number of brown trout, bullhead, Stoneloach, Three Spined Stickleback and maybe Brook Lamprey. The ammocoetes are a common occurrence lower down on Watton Beck. 8 Northfield Beck:- The beck is a tributary of Skerne Beck. We have no fisheries data for the beck. The nearest fisheries site is on Skerne Beck at Skerne Road Bridge (TA 03589 53950). The site was fished by single anode electric fishing in 2010; Three Spined Stickleback, Brown Trout, Bullhead, Grayling, Lamprey Species, Minnow and Stoneloach were also recorded. In 2004 a similar fish assemblage was observed along with the addition of chub. 9 Main Drain:- No fish surveys are recorded on the National Fish Population Database. The Water Framework Directive status for fish is derived from the neighbouring West Beck. Yorkshire Wildlife Trust at the their Snakeholme Meadows site is going to undertake a ‘dig and dump’ scheme to create a meandering channel. Typically dig and dump technique using the materials already in situ, however with this scheme there is going to be some impo rtation of local sourced gravels. Reed bed will be installed at both ends of the drain to reduce siltation into and out the beck. Sediment studies have shown Main Drain to be the primary source of sediments into West Beck. 10 River Hull:- This part of the Hull Headwaters is known as West Beck. The chalk streams offer exclusive and expensive fly fishing for trout and grayling. As with Kelk Beck initial contact through the East Yorkshire Rivers Trust is probably the best way to proceed. The nearest and most routine fisheries

monitoring site is at Snakeholme (NGR TA 06733 55474). The typical fish species present (based on the 2007; 2009 and 2010 data) are Brown trout, Bullhead, Eel, Grayling, Lamprey Species (ammocoetes), Minnow, Pike, Dace, Rainbow Trout and Chub. Working in partnership with the Environment Agency,the landowners and angling clubs, the East Yorkshire Rivers Trust have undertaken lots of habitat improvement schemes on this reach, including the installation of large woody debris, fencing and channel narrowing. 11 Driffield Canal:- Downstream of the proposed crossing is a routine eel monitoring site on Driffield Canal at Brigham (TA 07600 53700). In 2004 Eel, Gudgeon, Perch, Pike and Ruffe were captured. In 2009 Three Spined Stickleback, Eel, Perch, Pike and Stoneloach were captured. Whilst in 2011 roach were also captured. Hull and District Anglers’ Association and the East Riding Fisheries Consultative Association have an angling arrangement with the local landowners and other interest groups orientating around the canal. Some consultation with the East Riding of Yorkshire Waterways Partnership may be beneficial. Based on the reports made by anglers other species of fish are present, including brown trout, rainbow trout and grayling. Lamprey Ammocoetes may be present to. 12/13 Nafferton Highland Stream and White Dike:- We have no fisheries data on these two small water courses. If fish are present the assemblage is likely to be similar those found during the electric fishing operation at Gransmoor Beck. 14 Kelk Beck:- The nearest fisheries sites are at Lynesyke Road (NGR TA 09048 57930) in September 2010 electric fishing survey yielded just Brown trout and Bullhead. New Road Bridge at NGR TA 08513 61339 has been surveyed by electric fishing regularly in recent years (2007; 2009; 2010; 2012 and 2013) Brown trout are always present, along with Bullhead and the occasional capture of 3 spined stickleback. An eel pass has recently been built at Foston Mill Guaging Station by the Environment Agency in partnership with the East Yorkshire Rivers Trust. The trust have done a lot of habitat improvement work in recent years including river narrowing, in a bid to provide cleaner spawning gravels. Ranunculus (Water Crowfoot) has also been transplanted by the Trust to increase habitat for fish and aquatic invertebrates. Fenced off buffer zones have also been included as part of an on-going improvement scheme. The beck is a prestigious chalkstream trout fly fishery. Any works is likely to encounter lamprey particularly the ammocoetes (the juvenile stages) that inhabit silts. The beck downstream changes its name to Frodingham Beck, this is a good coarse fishery with eel, trout and the occasional grayling present. Initial contact is best made through the East Yorkshire Rivers Trust 15 Gransmoor Beck:- Three fisheries sites have been fished in recent years. Downstream of the quarry (TA1142859110) was fished in 2005, 11 and 2012 respectively. In 2012 both three and ten spined stickleback were captured during electric fishing. Accompanying these captures were Bullhead, European Eel and Stoneloach.

4

In 2011, just three spined stickleback, European Eel and Stoneloach were captured. This same species composition was observed in 2005 alongside Bullhead. Gransmoor Bridge at TA 13732 58854 was also fished in 2012 this site just yielded three spined stickleback. This species were the only fish present when a third site was fished upstream of the quarry in 2012 at the TA 10072 60416. Due to the species present the Beck/Drain is of little interest to recreational or commercial fisheries.

Dear Joanne

I am Project Environmental Advisor on behalf of National Grid on the above project. You recently kindly respondedto our consultation on the potential Site Options for Above Ground Installations required for the project. Followingon from your response I have a few queries which I hope you can help me with.

In your response you referred to a new nature reserve at Skerne Wetland - I have not been able to find this site onthe YWT website - could you possibly send me a map showing where the site is please?

Is the YWT land adjacent to the River Hull/West Beck near Wansford Bridge, we have referred to as Snake HolmePastures (NGR TA068553), part of the YWT Wansford Chalk Stream Meadow site?

In addition do you have maps for the Foulness and North Cave Living Landscape and River Hull Headwaters LivingLandscape - I have been unable to determine the boundaries of these areas from the scale of maps available on thewebsite.

Your early reply would be much appreciated. Please ensure to include all those copied into this e-mail in your reply.

Mammals

Dear Mr Traill

I have been provided with your contact name from your colleagues at the Wildlife Trust in relation to the proposedNational Grid Carbon Yorkshire and Humber Carbon Capture Scheme http://www.ccshumber.co.uk, in particularreference to riparian mammals in East Yorkshire.

Whilst we have completed a full desk study as part of the ongoing Ecological scope of work to feed into theEcological Impact Assessment (EcIA) and have gain formal publicly available records from the various data centresources, we are now reaching the point of collating and reporting on the status of water vole and otter along thescheme route – but some of which is now dated. We have completed extensive water vole and otter surveys during2012 and 2013 along the corridor (which we in due course hope we can submit the results of to the data centre).However in order to further support the baseline reporting and in turn impact assessment, in particular for otter, Iam keen to further provide the opportunity again at this time to you to provide any information you may feel shouldbe considered as part of the EcIA, particularly for water vole and otter.

The following main water courses are located within the proposed pipeline corridor; and whilst these are to becrossed using non open cut crossing methods (i.e. drilled entirely underneath the watercourse) we would like toenquire if you hold any further up to date information pertaining to the status of water vole and otter on thesewatercourses/catchments.

River Ouse;River Foulness:River Hull/Driffield CanalSkerne Beck;and Kelk Beck.

We are aware of the presence of artificial holts on River Foulness (Wellambridge & Sikes Farm), do you have anyrecent information regarding the artificial holt on the northern bank? From surveys last year it appears that thesouthern holt is occupied by badgers, but could not determine presence of otter due to flooding last year.

I would like to state we do not require specific location details of otter holts on the above watercourses, but simplyany more recent affirmation of the presence of otter and any other sources of data we may need to consider.

Also if there are any specific opportunities on these watercourses to enhance the habitat for either species.

In terms of the scheme, National Grid Carbon are about to announce dates/locations of a series of publicconsultation sessions in the next few weeks. See website above for details.

Kind Regards, if you wish to discuss further please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Sir / Madam

IntroductionWe are currently preparing the Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report on behalf of National Grid Carbonfor the Yorkshire and Humber Carbon Capture and Storage Project. The Scoping Report is being prepared to supporta request for a Scoping Option from the Planning Inspectorate (PINS).

The ProjectThe Yorkshire Humber Carbon Capture and Storage Project is a proposes to transport carbon dioxide, via a pipelinefrom the proposed Don Valley Power project at Stainforth to a permanent storage site beneath the North Sea. Thedesign parameters are to capture up to five million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year and up to 200 million overthe life time of that project. This project has been identified as part of a package of potential solutions to tackleclimate change whilst securing energy supplies in the UK. The project will also contribute to legally binding targets ofcutting green house gases by 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050.

The project will comprise of an 85km pipeline from Stainforth to the coast close to Barmston and five Above GroundInstallations (AGI) comprising a Compressor Station, three Block Valves and a Pumping Station. The Compressor isrequired to compress the carbon dioxide from a gas to a liquid for onwards transmission, Block Valves for themaintenance and safe operation of the pipeline and the Pumping Station to re pressurise the carbon dioxide beforeit is transported offshore.

Thematic GroupSince our last thematic group on 15th March we have undertaken further desk based data collection and a significantamount of ecology surveys, information from which has been used alongside technical design information andsurveys, to narrow down the preferred route corridor and AGI locations. The project has now developed to a stagewhere we are in are able to effectively scope the EIA. We have drafted our proposed scope of works, which we willissue to you shortly and would like to invite you to a further ecology thematic group to discuss our proposedapproach to the EIA, prior to formal issue of the Scoping Report and request for a Scoping Opinion to PINS.

Current proposed dates for the ecology scoping meeting are either Tuesday 13th or Friday 16th November.

I would be grateful if you could let me know if you are available on these dates ASAP.

If neither is suitable, please advise me of a suitable alternative date. We are trying to tie up the ecology meetingwith the proposed landscape meeting where there may be overlap on attendees. James, I appreciate you havebeen contacted a couple of times regards dates already by colleagues representing other disciplines.

In the interim more information on the project can be found at http://www.ccshumber.co.uk or alternatively pleasedo not hesitate to contact me at 0113 3906238 if you have any queries.

The thematic group will be held at:

[email protected]: RE: National Grid CCS Project - River Hull

Hi Clare,

Thanks for getting back to me after meeting a couple of weeks ago.

I don’t’ know much about the fish species in the Driffield Canal, but do know it supports a diverse coarse fishpopulation with some big old pike recorded. There are records of bullhead in the upper reaches of the canal andalso wild brown trout.

In the West Beckk SSSI and adjacent Main drain/Wanlass drain as already mentioned in your email there arebreeding brook and river lamprey, grayling and bullhead. Brown trout are stocked by the fishing clubs but we doknow from EA surveys that wild trout are also present.In the lower reaches of West beck (around Skerne) there are more coarse fish with barbel and bream known tospawn, along with perch, roach, rudd and pike.

Mammals include water vole and otter along with water shrew. The otter activity is fairly constant with breedingknown to take place (young and adult prints found under wansford bridge). Water vole numbers fluctuate but therehas always been a presence between the canal, chalk stream and drain (wansford area).

Water shrew and water vole are present across all the chalk stream headwaters of the river hull, with good numbersrecorded at Foston Beck.

On a wider note water vole are present across the whole of the R Hull headwaters and out into the outlyingdrainage network. We haven’t done any targeted surveys for a few years but have anecdotal evidence and info fromlandowners and members of the public that water vole are still persisting.From and ecological point of view what is critical is the interlinking of small populations which use the drainagenetwork as corridors to move around along with pockets of wetland and other watercourses and ponds. These small‘fragmented’ populations create a much larger and more robust meta-population able to withstand externalpressures of drought, flood and predation.Mink are known to be present up and down the river Hull and wider area, but numbers are low with control byriverkeepers and gamekeepers having a positive impact.

Bird species are varied but most of the threatened farmland birds are found including yellowhammer, reed bunting,tree sparrow, kestrel, grey partridge, yellow wagtail, linnet, lapwing, skylark all recorded.Over and above the list above, on the headwaters, of note are breeding water rail, kingfisher, quail and little grebe.

Hope the above info of some use and happy for me to be quoted.

Jon

Thank you for your time to show us around the Skerne Wetland site on Saturday morning – was really interesting tosee the site and hear your plans for it.

As mentioned I have been involved over the past two years with the completion of the Ecological ImpactAssessment as part of the wider commission of AECOM by National Grid Carbon of the Environmental ImpactAssessment for the Yorkshire and Humber Carbon Capture Transportation and Storage Cross Country Pipelineproject ( to give it its full name!).

I have been in contact within this period with your colleagues Sara Robin and Joanne Dearing through a series ofecology consultation group meetings, admittedly not in very recent times as we have got into the final stage of theprocess, but certainly in 2012 and 13. These meetings were undertaken to provide an opportunity for all consulteesand interested parties to discuss the scope of our ecology work and also anything that would need to be consideredas part of the EIA.

As you are aware of the project I won’t provide too much further information here, but will say if you do need toclarify anything generally to come back to me or to review the information on the website athttp://www.ccshumber.co.uk.

In terms of your general knowledge of the area, and in particular the River Hull and surrounds, it was suggested byJoanne that it would also be prudent to contact you specifically regarding the status of otter and water vole andinterest associated with the River Hull (see attached e-mail) to back up the positive finding on both counts of surveywork.

Joanne did send me an e-mail some time ago with comment regarding the general fish interest in the River Hullwhich she quoted a conversation with yourself. I know generally that this information is widely publicised on YWTand other local groups web pages but I wondered if you could provide a quick re-affirmation of the fish speciesknown to be present in the River Hull (and main drain and Driffield Canal?) and sections of particular interest,also permission to quote you in the ecology chapter of the ES, which we are in process of finalising a first draft.

Presently I have stated in relation to a general summary of the River Hull as : Nationally important as the mostnortherly chalk stream system in Britain, with other habitats of limited distribution including riverside grassland,woodland and fen. Supports a diversity of breeding birds including waders and kingfisher. Known also to supportbreeding brook lamprey, river lamprey, bullhead and wild greyling (ref: Jon Traill, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust)

Furthermore if you think there is a need to discuss anything specifically relating to the plans for the Skerne wetlandsite, particularly in relation to the location of the Skerne Block Valve site then again please let me know and I canput you in touch with relevant persons.

Kind regards

Dear Vaughan

Hope you’re keeping well and have had a good Easter.

As you are aware AECOM have been commissioned to undertake the EIA, including the EcIA on behalf of NationalGrid on the CCS Yorkshire and Humber Pipeline project.

As the scheme evolves, National Grid and AECOM are now seeking to undertake consultation with the relevantparties to discuss the scheme in relation to the presence of non statutory wildlife sites. As you know AECOM havesought to collate a database of desk study information including the mapping of all non statutory sites locatedwithin the PRC, and within the more recent narrower Scoping Corridor. The latter was presented as part of theScoping Report which was submitted to PINS in February 2013.

FYI I have attached the ecological constraint drawings which were included as part of the Scoping report.

We would like this consultation to comprise of discussions with East Riding, AECOM and National Grid Constructionin light of the presence of a number of non statutorily designated wildlife sites located within proximity to apotential future route alignment.

The format of the consultation is open to agreement of course – but I was thinking this could be along the lines ofproviding information pertaining to which sites to be discussed and plans etc as required, followed by a sitemeeting.

At this initial stage I would like to enquire if this proposed format for consultation is, in principal agreeable, and alsoif there are any specific weeks/dates in the next few weeks within which you would not be available to do this?

Kind regards

Clare

From: [email protected]: 17 April 2013 09:03To: McIlwraith, ClareSubject: RE: CCS Yorkshire and Humber Pipeline Project - LWS Consultation

Hi Clare,

I've asked Harriet to check the info we sent and her response is below:Market Eighton - Etton Verge (SE9540-06) which is on Map 6 is actually on the CCS Yorkshire map.

Site Etton West Wood (SE9540-07) is on the Map but marked as ancient woodlands with deleted sites within it on theCCS maps. However the whole area is a designated site, with no deletions according to our GIS layers. (Map 6)

Also there is one site I missed altogether, which is also missing from the CCS Yorkshire Map 7. Bealeys Beck,Lockington SE9545-11 which is marked as a candidate site.

Of the 26 site missing from the CCS Yorkshire Maps (including site Bealeys Beck, Lockington) 14 are candidate ordesignated sites, 12 are deleted. None of these sites lie in the pipeline corridor.

Note that 12 of of these sites are deleted sites which I don't think it's important to include. I suggest you check withNEYEDC if the LWS layer you got was 4.2 (October 2012) which is the most current one that we are using. I thinkthe pipeline route planning has done a pretty good job at avoiding most of the LWS. I suggest for a next meeting weshould just focus on key sites within the corridor route.

regards,

Dear Vaughan

Apologies for the delay coming back to you since your e-mail.

Thanks for the information – although recognize that this information will need to be reviewed, and as required updates madeto the CCS ecological constraints plans, I am a little surprised to see that it appears there are approximately 25 sites whichwere not included on the last layer which we were sent by NEYEDC (upon which the scoping eco constraint plans wereproduced). Do these all relate to recent LWS status changes/panel discussions?

Would you be able to provide AECOM with the revised layer so that we can plot them in relation to the scopingcorridor? Obviously this would be sensible to do in advance of any meeting.

As proposed would you be able to provide potential dates for a meeting, say in the next 2 to 3 weeks to discuss the scheme inrelation to non statutory designated ecology sites? Suggest we could come up to you if easierPossibly more appropriate to do a office based meeting initially to discuss ‘key’ sites – to then possibly base a site meetingaround, thereafter.

From: [email protected]: 08 February 2012 16:14To: Vaight, Harriet JSubject: Update on East Riding LWS

Follow Up Flag: Status of review by AJGDue By: 14 February 2012 08:46Flag Status: Completed

Harriet,

The East Riding Local Wildlife Sites panel met this morning and considered a number of sites on the coast in thevicinity of the Dogger bank cable route landfall.

Bridlington to Barmston cliffThe previous site was poorly defined and thought to refer to the sand dune from TA173650 to TA172640. The site issmall and heavily scoured from public access from the adjacent caravan park. The site was deleted as an LWS.

Fraisthorpe BeachThis site was 6km long and mostly beach and soft cliff with a few very small areas of sand dunes. The site wasdeleted as an LWS on the habitat guidelines. However a revised boundary will be determined for a new candidate sitefor the small dune system at TA169614. This small dune system supports Prickly Saltwort Salsola kali, which is a UKBAP species. The site will be considered against the species guidelines when they are finalised (they are currentlyout for consultation).

Any work in this area should seek to avoid any harmful impacts upon the UK BAP species Prickly Saltwort.

Outlet of Barmston DrainThis site includes the area immediately around the hard defence of the drain outlet. It contains a small saline lagoonwith a few salt-marsh species but could not be assigned to an NVC type. This feature was considered noteworthy butnot sufficient to meet the guidelines for designation as an LWS. The site was therefore deleted as an LWS. Just westof the deleted site, along Barmston Drain a population of Comfrey Symphytum officinale was discovered. This isconsidered to be the only site in the East Riding for the native species, all other populations being hybrids withRussian Comfrey (S. x uplandicum).

Although the Outlet of Barmston Drain has been deleted as an LWS, any works in the area should seek to avoidharmful impacts upon the saline lagoon, and the population of native Comfrey

September 2011 Woodland Habitat Action Plan Final Version

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 1

Habitat Action Plan for Woodland

Our vision for woodland is to protect the existing ancient semi-natural woodland

(ASNW) resource, to seek opportunities to increase the area of woodlands and to avoid

woodland planting in inappropriate locations.

About this Habitat Action Plan for Woodland

This Habitat Action Plan (HAP) has been developed by the East Riding Biodiversity Partnership

as part of the East Riding of Yorkshire Biodiversity Action Plan (ERYBAP). The Hull and East

Yorkshire Woodland Initiative (HEYwoods) are the lead partner for this HAP. Woodland can

be defined as land under stands of trees with canopy cover of at least 20%, trees do not need to

be a minimum height and there is no minimum size for woodlands (Forestry Commission, 2006).

In line with the approach set out in the ERYBAP the Woodland HAP focuses on new actions to

enhance biodiversity. It does not duplicate action which is already happening through existing

mechanisms such as statutory designated sites such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs)

and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) or funding under Rural Development Programme

Grants administered by government bodies. Projects developed as part of this action plan may

however add value to work already being undertaken or funded by statutory bodies. The East

Riding Biodiversity Partnership encourages woodland owners to apply for appropriate options

under Rural Development Programme Grants e.g. currently English Woodland Grant Scheme

(EWGS) and Higher Level Stewardship Scheme (HLS).

If you want to develop a woodland project, there are a range of small grants for community

groups which may be available. For advice on projects to create and manage woodlands please

contact HEYwoods (Hull and East Yorkshire Woodlands partnership) on 01482 393726. If you

would like to submit an action, either new or existing, to be included against the targets set out in

this HAP then please contact HEYwoods or East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Biodiversity

Team on 01482 391718 or by email [email protected] .

1. Introduction

The East Riding of Yorkshire (East Riding) is one of the least wooded areas of England, with

woodland comprising around 2.2% of total land cover compared to a national average of

approximately 8.4%. In general, much of this woodland is located on sites that are uneconomic

to farm, such as on heavy clay soils, acidic sand deposits or on dry, steep slopes in the Wolds.

Ancient semi-natural woodland is particularly scarce, with isolated remnants scattered throughout

the East Riding. Good examples still exist though, notably at Burton Bushes near Beverley and

Millington Wood near Pocklington, both designated as SSSIs for their woodland habitats..

Meanwhile, post-war agricultural intensification has resulted in the majority of plantation forestry

being established on the sites of existing, and often ancient, native woodland or other semi

natural habitats. Of this plantation forestry, recent broadleaves plantations tend to be dominated



by oak and ash with beech, poplar and sycamore, whilst conifer plantations are more extensive

both in terms of size of individual sites and also overall coverage.

The Joint Character Areas of the East Riding each have distinctive woodland characteristics:

On the generally free draining soils of the Yorkshire Wolds, some calcareous woodland is

present and this tends to be dominated by ash. Good examples can be found at Millington

Wood and at Wauldby Scrogs/Nut Wood near West Ella. Areas of medium-scale plantation and

shelterbelt woodland are important within the Wolds landscape with notable examples found

along the western escarpment around Pocklington and on the larger estates such as

Londesborough and Garrowby. Boynton Willow Garth is one of very few wet woodlands on the

Wolds, designated as a SSSI in part for this scarce wet woodland habitat and supporting the

scarce Black Poplar.

Whilst woodland cover in Holderness is very sparse, pollen record evidence suggests that the

area would once have been extensively wooded, apart from those areas of fens and meres. Some

remnants of ancient woodland can be found in the ancient hedgerows that exist in parts of

Holderness and also in a few farm woodlands that have been subsequently replanted. Bail

Wood near Aldbrough is one of the few significant areas of ancient semi-natural woodland that

exist today whilst Low Wood near Hornsea is one of the last remaining examples of the ancient

carr woodland type that occurs on wet, peaty soils. Within the Plain of Holderness landscape,

important woodland resources are found in the large estates such as Burton Agnes and Burton

Constable. Meanwhile, new native woodland planting towards the edges of Hull has the

potential to enhance the urban fringe and help to retain a natural buffer between urban and rural

environments.

As the Vale of York sweeps down the western edge of the East Riding, the historic impacts of

agricultural intensification have led to a significant loss of ancient woodland. Nevertheless,

native species plantations and shelterbelt farm woodlands are present, particularly in the area to

the south and west of Pocklington. Wet woodland occurs locally in the Lower Derwent Valley,

as at Thornton Ellers. Significant areas of pine plantations are also present, notably at

Allerthorpe Wood, however this is planted on nationally rare heathland and acid grassland habitat

and it is desirable to remove or reduce this plantation to restore rare open habitats within a

mosaic with woodland.

Ancient semi-natural woodland is very sparse in the Humberhead Levels. The majority of

woodland present today has been established as farm plantations, predominantly as shelterbelts.

These woods are often dominated by fast-growing, non-native species such as Lombardy poplar,

cypresses, pines and spruces.

This Action Plan covers native broadleaved woodlands, including wet woodlands, in the East

Riding. Separate Action Plans cover wood-pasture & parkland, traditional orchards and hedgerows.



2. Legal Status

With certain exceptions, it is illegal to fell trees in Great Britain without a Felling Licence from

the Forestry Commission. It is policy that areas felled will be replanted or naturally regenerated

except where felling is allowed for environmental improvement or to enable development

authorized under planning permissions.

All public bodies must have regard to biodiversity in the exercise of their duties in accordance

with Section 40 of the NERC Act 2006 and, therefore have regard to priority habitat, listed under

Section 41 including several types of woodlands. This requirement is reflected within

government guidance in the planning system, currently Planning Policy Statement Note 9

Biodiversity and Geological Conservation ODPM, 2005. Ancient woodland is given some

protection within PPS9 (Paragraph 10, PPS9, ODPM, 2005) and this protection has been

continued in the draft of the new National Planning Policy Framework. The government advice

supports the safeguard and protection of ancient woodland through the planning system and

development control explaining that ‘once lost it cannot be recreated’. Meanwhile, the Government’s

‘Keepers of Time’ statement and its associated new practice guide to managing ancient and

native woodland reinforce the value, threats and opportunities for improving the protection and

quality of woodland and trees..

See Introduction section of the East Riding of Yorkshire Biodiversity Action Plan Strategy, Table

1, for further details regarding the objectives of the legislation and guidance to which this section

refers.

3. The Resource

The 2002 National Inventory of Trees and Woodlands recorded that the East Riding has

approximately 5570 ha of woodland. Of this relatively small resource, only around 266 ha is

Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland (ASNW), and this is made up of around 25 small, isolated

stands. However, only ancient woodland sites that were over 2 ha on the 1920's base maps are

included on the Ancient Woodland Inventory and so the actual amount maybe higher. Some of

the ancient woodland sites in the East Riding have been replanted with conifers, native and non-

native broad-leaved species, sometimes in a mixture. These sites still have conservation value as

they often retain some ground flora and soil profiles characteristic of ancient woodlands. The

area of Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWs) in the East Riding is currently unknown.

Detailed data regarding the specific extent of lowland mixed deciduous woodland in the UK is

not available, but the Nature Conservancy Council estimated the total area to be about 250,000

ha towards the end of the 1980s. The National Inventory of Woodland and Trees provides

detailed data regarding the extent of woodland nationally, but does not categorise individual

habitat types. The area of lowland mixed deciduous woodland on ancient woodland sites has

declined by about 30-40% over the last 50 years as a result of replanting with non-native species

or clearance.



The Nature Conservancy Council estimated the approximate UK coverage of ancient semi-

natural wet woodland to be about 25,000-30,000 ha in the late 1980s. Recent wet woodland may

form an equal amount, giving a rough estimate of 50,000-70,000 ha total in the UK. The

Biodiversity Audit of Yorkshire and the Humber (Selman et al, 1999) records the presence of at least

343 ha of wet woodland in the region as a whole but this is recognised as being an under-

estimate. Wet woodland is sparse and fragmented in the East Riding but there is no data on the

total extent of this habitat. The expansion and linking of these remnant fragments of semi natural

woodland is one of the largest challenges facing woodland conservation in the East Riding.

There are two SSSIs designated primarily for their woodland interest in the East Riding (Burton

Bushes and Boynton Willow Garth) whilst Millington Wood Local Nature Reserve forms part of

a larger biological and geological SSSI. Wet woodland at Thornton Ellers is a listed feature of the

Lower Derwent Valley SAC.

It is recognised that in some cases there are significant gaps in data and therefore the East Riding

of Yorkshire Biodiversity Partnership has an overarching aim to improve the evidence base for

habitats in the county, including woodland. The East Riding Broad Habitat Survey will help to

identify areas of woodland but further work will be needed to record the condition of these sites.

Also, the Forestry Commission will release a new National Forest Inventory in 2013 and this will

offer complete and up-to-date information on the size, distribution, composition and condition

of forests and woodlands.

4. Management

Some areas of ancient semi-natural woodland are currently managed as nature reserves by

organisations such as the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the Woodland Trust and the

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Examples of ancient semi-natural woodland managed as nature

reserves include Millington Wood, Wauldby Scrogs/Nut Wood and North Cliffe Wood.

The Government, through the Forestry Commission, owns an estate of nearly 350,000 ha in

England and Wales. Allerthorpe Wood is the only Forestry Commission site in the East Riding,

an area of approximately 150 ha of coniferous woodland offering public access.

The HEYwoods Initiative is a partnership for trees and woodland for the East Riding and

Kingston upon Hull area. The strategic vision of the HEYwoods Initiative is to improve

significantly the urban, rural and industrial landscapes of Hull and the East Riding through the

creation of a functional green infrastructure based on trees and woodland. The project partners

include Government agencies, private companies, environmental charities, community

organisations, and both local authorities.

The Forestry Commission operates Rural Development Programme Grants. The overarching

objectives for the grants are to sustain and increase the public benefits derived from existing

woodlands in England and to invest in the creation of new woodlands in England of a size, type

and location that most effectively deliver public benefits.



Natural England’s agri-environment schemes also provide for woodland management,

restoration and creation but this is generally at a small scale. However, some important semi

natural woodland, such as hazel coppice and bluebell woodland around Meaux is currently

managed under Higher Level Stewardship (HLS).

Forestry policy in England is currently being reviewed with the final report from the Independent

Panel on Forestry due in spring 2012. Meanwhile, the Regional Forestry Strategy (RFS) for the

Yorkshire and Humber Region provided a strategic framework for the future management of

trees and woodlands in Yorkshire and The Humber region. The RFS recognisesd wet woodland

as a Priority Woodland Habitat and set a target for the restoration of damaged of degraded wet

woodland at 50 ha by 2010. The Strategy also set an expansion target to increase the total area of

wet woodland through planting and natural regeneration of 300 ha by 2015.

The Forestry Commission publication 'When to convert woods and forests to open habitat in

England: Government Policy' outlines the approach to be taken regarding when it is appropriate

to support land-use change using conversion of woodland to open habitat (such as heathland) in

tandem with woodland creation. This policy applies the principle to have the right habitats and

the right trees in the right places. Any woodland planting should also take account of the East

Riding’s Landscape Character Assessment and Historic Landscape Characterisation .

Initiatives such as the protection of in-field trees and the management of woodland edges are

options available for Entry Level Stewardship and Organic Entry Level Stewardship whilst the

restoration of woodlands is an option for Higher Level Stewardship applicants.

The market for locally grown timber, especially firewood grade hardwoods which are common to

the woodland resource of East Riding of Yorkshire has never been more buoyant. Good prices

are the main incentives for woodland owners to management their woodlands. As long as the

management is within/exceeds the regulations then managing woodlands for timber/firewood

production can only be beneficial to the long term viability of the woodland for biodiversity.

5. Threats

• Constraints on expansion - potential sites for new woodland establishment in the ERY are scarce due to the large areas of high to medium grade agricultural land, the development potential of sites and also existing ecological or archaeological features. Expansion of wet woodland is particularly constrained by the lack of un-drained land and the inherent nature conservation interest of potential wet areas

.

• Clearance and conversion - existing lowland mixed deciduous woodland faces pressures from high competing land values and the potential of land for new development. However, ancient woodland is now well-protected through planning policies. The Forestry Commission exert strict controls on the felling, restocking and management of such woodland.

• Lack of appropriate management and/or neglect – Woodland management may not sustain specific biodiversity interests and there can be competing demands such as game rearing or motorised recreation. Lack of management can and does lead to progressive



loss of biodiversity for example through loss of light reaching the woodland floor and progressive colonisation of non-native species.

• Changes in water tables and flows – drainage, abstraction and other hydrological disturbances can lead areas of wet woodland to become too dry or too waterlogged to sustain communities. Flood prevention measures have also restricted potential sites for new wet woodland establishment and have the potential to impact on the hydrology of existing sites. Nutrient enrichment from adjacent arable land can have major impacts on woodland.

• Inappropriate grazing – intensive grazing and associated trampling by domestic livestock or wild deer populations can have negative impacts on the floral communities of woodland and hinder successful new woodland establishment.

• Health and safety – Where woodland has a high level of public access or there is a threat of vandalism, mature, dead or dying trees may be removed if they are perceived to be dangerous. This means that there is little standing dead or fallen wood, which are important resources for biodiversity.

• Invasive alien species – Non-native species can both spread very aggressively and dominate the field or shrub layer. This can often be caused when alien species are introduced by the disposal of garden waste in woodlands. Wet woodland is particularly prone to invasion by alien species such as Himalayan balsam.

• Disease – certain tree diseases such as the fungi Phytophthora may threaten woodlands.

• Habitat fragmentation – As individual woodlands have historically tended to become smaller in size and fewer in number, the woodland resource has become fragmented. Such fragmentation makes it difficult for woodland species to disperse to other areas. This is a particular issue for woodland in the East Riding of Yorkshire because of the extremely low levels of woodland cover

• Climate change – Long-terms changes to climatic conditions will impact on lowland mixed deciduous woodland, potentially altering factors such as species composition, incidences of major wind, flood or drought damage and also the management techniques necessary to conserve and enhance biodiversity. Wet woodland may become increasingly vulnerable to hydrological change.

6. Potential for Enhancement

Whilst opportunities are limited for expansion, ASNW should be seen as core areas from which

to seek opportunities for new woodland planting on adjoining land. This can provide buffer

zones to the ASNW, and, in the long term, the ability for valuable woodland plant and animal

species to colonise and expand their range. Opportunities exist to work in partnership with

others to ensure that the existing ASNW and other under-managed native woodland is managed

appropriately.

Woodfuel production may have implications for the management of native woodlands. The

Forestry Commission publication ‘A Woodfuel Strategy for England’ recognises that lack of

management is contributing to a decline in the biodiversity of our woodlands. Increasing the level



of ecologically sensitive management through using woodfuel would help a range of flora and

fauna.

It is becoming increasingly recognised that the impacts of climate change will significantly impact

on biodiversity. In a response to this, it is important that the wider landscape is made more

permeable to allow species to move over time. New native woodland creation offers a realistic,

readily-available, relatively easily delivered and generally cost efficient opportunity to contribute

towards this and the HAP should reflect these advantages.

There are also opportunities for wet woodland creation linked to flood risk management which

have the potential to be significant.

7. Current Action

The on-going East Riding Phase 1 Habitat and LWS Surveys cover former SINCs and potential

new sites, which will include a number of woodlands.

When published, the UK Habitat Action Plan for lowland mixed deciduous woodland will

provide guidelines for defining ‘priority’ sites, which will have implications for the targeting of

conservation resources.

The Yorkshire and Humber Biodiversity Delivery Plan identifies the following targets for native

woodland in the region; 2,517 ha for restoration and 3,422.5ha for expansion by 2015. The

Forestry Commission and Rural Development Programme Grants have been identified as the

main delivery mechanism.

Ponds Habitat Action Plan

Our vision is to create and enhance networks of ponds which support a diverse range of flora and fauna.

About this Habitat Action Plan for Ponds

This Habitat Action Plan (HAP) has been developed by the East Riding Biodiversity Partnership

as part of the East Riding of Yorkshire Biodiversity Action Plan (ERYBAP). The East Riding of

Yorkshire Council and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust are the joint lead partners for this HAP.

In line with the approach set out in the ERYBAP the Pond HAP focuses on new actions to

enhance biodiversity. It does not duplicate action which is already happening through existing

mechanisms such as statutory designated sites such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs)

and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) or funding under Rural Development Programme

Grants administered by government bodies. Projects developed as part of this action plan may

however add value to work already being undertaken or funded by statutory bodies.

If you want to develop a pond project, there are a range of small grants for community groups

which may be available. For advice on projects to create and manage ponds please contact Jon

Traill on 01904 659570. If you would like to submit an action, either new or existing, to be

included against the targets set out in this HAP then please contact Vaughan Grantham or East

Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Biodiversity Team on 01482 391718 or by email

1. Introduction

Ponds are small bodies of standing water between 1 m2 and 2 ha in size, which hold water for at

least four months of the year. Ponds may be seasonal or permanent features and of natural or

man-made origin.

A few standing water habitats in the East Riding of Yorkshire are of natural origin including the

large post-glacial lake at Hornsea Mere and the Roos Bog kettle-hole. A small number of ponds

may have originated within former mere basins in Holderness but the vast majority are of man-

made origin. Many were dug to provide water for livestock, to store water for various uses, or to

rear fish. Others were the incidental result of mineral extraction including the quarrying of sand,

gravel or chalk and the digging of peat or clay. Historically, other types of pond in the county

originated as moats, duck decoys, bomb craters or pits for retting flax or hemp (e.g. Lillie &

Gearey, 1999). Nowadays, many small ponds occur in private gardens, whilst balancing ponds

are routinely constructed to manage surface water run-off as part of new housing, business or

road developments. Due to their historic associations, many older ponds in the East Riding are

of significant cultural and landscape heritage, as well as biodiversity interest.

Ponds may be either ground-water or surface-water fed (i.e. maintained by the water table or

dependent on the collection of rainfall and local run-off). In the East Riding most are fairly rich

mailto:[email protected]



in nutrients and dissolved minerals. Many village ponds have very high nutrient levels, are

subject to pollution from road-based drainage and are denuded of vegetation due to fouling and

grazing by large numbers of feral waterfowl. A few ponds associated with heathland sites have

lower pH and mineral status.

Ponds in the East Riding are of major importance to biodiversity. Ponds of high ecological

quality are now recognised as a Priority Habitat in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, and support

a number of BAP species including great crested newt, common toad, grass snake, eel, reed

bunting, mud snail, tubular water-dropwort and, at least in the past, greater water parsnip. Water

vole, water shrew and otter may also use ponds; though these are not usually their primary

habitat, otters rely heavily on ponds particularly in spring when they will raid ponds in search of

amphibians. There is a population of the non-native Marsh Frog Pelophylax ridibundus in ponds in

the River Hull valley between Driffield and Top Hill Low. Ponds also provide important

foraging habitats for bats (Lane, 2000), some of which are Priority Species. In addition, ponds in

some parts of the East Riding provide refugia for fenland plants and invertebrates whose original

habitats have long since been drained. At least thirty scarce or threatened invertebrate species are

found in ponds in the East Riding along with a number of Nationally Scarce flowering plants and

stoneworts.

This Action Plan does not cover ponds or pools associated with the Humber foreshore, sand

dunes, the cut-over peatland at Goole and Rawcliffe Moors, or extensive reedbeds since these are

considered within the context of coastal saltmarsh, coastal dunes, lowland raised bog and reedbeds

respectively. Markedly saline coastal or estuarine standing waters are considered in the Habitat

Statement for saline lagoons.

2. Legal Status

Since 2007, ponds are recognised as a Priority Habitat for conservation within the UK

Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). The definition of the UK BAP priority habitat includes ponds

of high importance that meet one of five criteria. The most relevant of these in the East Riding

relate to the presence of BAP species, geographic distribution or high ecological value based on

the Predictive System for Multimetrics (PSYM). The Natural Environment and Rural

Communities Act 2006 placed a duty on all public bodies to have regard to biodiversity in the

exercise of their duties. Ponds are listed under Section 41 of the Act as a Habitat of principal

importance for the conservation of biodiversity.

See Introduction and Strategy Section, Table 1 of the East Riding of Yorkshire Biodiversity

Action Plan, for further details regarding the objectives of the legislation and guidance to which

this section refers.

Although ponds carry no statutory protection of their own, a small number lie within statutory

protected sites, and can also receive some protection through the presence of certain protected

species. Ponds used by great crested newts are protected from damage through the Wildlife &



Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations

2010.

3. The Resource

According to recent survey data, there were around 395,000 standing water bodies of less than 2

ha in area in Great Britain in 1998 with around 211,740 lowland ponds in England, (Countryside

Survey, 2000). The Countryside Survey 2007 reports that the number of ponds increased by 18%

(37,000 ponds) in England between 1998 and 2007, with most of the increase taking place in the

Easterly Lowlands. The number of new ponds in England was estimated at 48,300; while an

estimated 14,900 were lost between 1998 and 2007. However, the current biological condition of

ponds is generally poor with only 9% of the ponds in the Good PYSM (the Predictive System for

Multimetrics; a pond quality assessment) quality category based on their vegetation. Only 4.8%

of ponds surveyed were of Priority Habitat quality based on their vegetation.

In the eighteenth century when horses provided all the motive power in agriculture and mixed

farming with livestock was the norm, ponds would have been more abundant in the agriculture

landscape. The mechanisation of farming and in particular the specialisation in arable farming

which has occurred in the East Riding has led to a significant reduction in farm ponds. Surveys

in northeast Yorkshire in the early 1990s suggested that around a third of lowland ponds shown

on recent OS maps had disappeared with a further 10% reduced to dried-up hollows unlikely to

be capable of supporting breeding amphibians (Hammond, 2000). It is likely that the loss of field

ponds has occurred at a comparable rate in the East Riding. A sample survey of dew ponds on

the Yorkshire Wolds indicated that 80% were lost between the 1950s and 1980s. The most

recent and accurate baseline data for ponds in the East Riding comes from the ‘Yorkshire and

North East Regional Pond Review’ which was produced by JBA Consulting for the Environment

Agency in 2011. It identified 5,673 ponds in the East Riding of Yorkshire in 2010.

Holderness

Prior to extensive land drainage, natural ponds and meres (shallow lakes) were widespread in the

undulating boulder clay landscape of Holderness (Shepherd, 1966). Most smaller ponds in the

east of Holderness originated as livestock watering ponds or village ponds. During the 20th

century, extraction of sand and gravel has created numerous ponds and small lakes around

Keyingham and Burstwick, and especially between Brandesburton and Leven.

At Tophill Low, Watton and High Esk Nature Reserves in the Hull Valley, water storage

reservoirs, ponds, borrow-pits and scrapes form extensive wetland habitats. These are best

known for their birdlife but also support uncommon plants such as water violet, greater

spearwort and lesser water-plantain, as well as a significant population of great crested newt.

The area to the west of Hornsea supports good clusters of ponds in low-lying permanent

pastures.



The Wolds

Natural ponds are very scarce on the Yorkshire Wolds due to the chalk geology, although small

pools are occasionally associated with springs and seepages. Almost all the Wolds villages are

centred on a pond, though nowadays most of these are degraded by large numbers of feral

waterfowl. However, a few village ponds do support richer aquatic plant and invertebrate

communities, as at Fimber. Groundwater-fed ponds formerly occurred in a number of chalk

quarries on the Wolds but some of these have been lost either as a result of lowering of the

aquifer or land-filling. Some important populations of great crested newt have been lost as a

result, although this species still occurs in quarry ponds at the Humber Bridge Country Park.

Dew ponds are very characteristic of the Wolds, created during the 18th and 19th centuries by

specialist pond-makers using layers of quicklime, straw, clay and chalk rubble (Hayfield &

Brough, 1986). Intended to provide water for livestock where none was present naturally, dew

ponds became redundant with the advent of piped water troughs and the conversion of

increasing areas of pasture to arable. Many have either been filled-in or left to silt-up, or have

dried-out when the linings have perished. Although the biodiversity of dew ponds on the

Yorkshire Wolds is poorly known, even isolated ponds on the arable plateaux may support

amphibians and interesting invertebrate communities. There are a number of surviving dew

ponds and farm/village ponds at Flamborough Headland.

The Vale of York and Humberhead Levels

Field ponds are fairly widespread in the Vale of York and Humberhead Levels; whilst many have

been lost as a result of increased arable cultivation, farm reservoirs and irrigation ponds now

provide additional habitats. Old clay pits occur in several places with extraction still continuing

at Broomfleet Tileworks, where the ponds and lagoons can attract significant numbers of

wintering wildfowl. Aggregate extraction occurs around North Cave, where gravel pits now form

a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT) Nature Reserve, and more locally around Allerthorpe.

Small, peaty ponds and seasonal pools occur on a few heathland sites such as at North Cliffe

Wood, Allerthorpe Common and Hotham Carrs. These are important for specialised mire

invertebrates, including one of only two currently-known British sites for the water beetle

Helophorus tuberculatus. Although of recent origin, the pond at Howden Marsh Local Nature

Reserve (LNR) is on the site of historic grazing marsh and supports many scarce wetland insects.

Of particular note in the Humberhead Levels are numerous borrow-pits, known locally as delphs,

which can be found in Howdenshire and on the former Walling Fen. These were excavated to

embank railway lines across the very low-lying landscape, or to provide spoil for building flood

banks. Examples include Eastrington Ponds LNR, Saltmarshe Delph YWT Reserve, Faxfleet

borrow-pit and the numerous ponds on the Market Weighton Canal Washlands at Oxmardyke

and Broomfleet. Some of these provide refuges for plants and invertebrates which would once

have been widespread in the grazing marshes fringing the Humber. The Oxmardyke and

Broomfleet delphs formerly supported an exceptional aquatic flora and although this is now



depleted, uncommon species such as tubular water-dropwort Oenanthe fistulosa and great water

dock Rumex hydrolapathum are still present. At Eastrington, one borrow-pit alongside the former

Hull – Barnsley railway has developed a remarkable floating bog vegetation, in which a carpet of

Sphagnum mosses grows over a raft of lesser reedmace rhizomes (Hammond, 2007).

Reedbeds are associated with a number of clay pits and borrow-pits in the Humberhead Levels and

close to the Humber shore; these are the subject of a separate HAP.

The Humber Estuary

A number of ponds adjoin the Humber Estuary or the South Holderness coast including the

sluiced brick pits at North Ferriby Ings and conservation ponds at Sunk Island, Clubley’s Field

near Spurn bird observatory and Beacon Ponds Nature Reserves near Easington (Easington

Lagoons and Welton Waters are classed as saline lagoons and covered by the appropriate Habitat

Statement).

Moderately brackish ponds which are not subject to tidal inundation are often of great

biodiversity interest. Associated species include many scarce or specialised invertebrates,

flowering plants such as brackish water-crowfoot and stoneworts such as Tolypella glomerata

(Henderson, 2001). The importance of such ponds is emphasised by the lack of any more

natural transition between freshwater wetland and saltmarsh on the Humber Estuary and the

generally very poor ecological quality of agricultural drains inland of the flood banks (Hammond

& Merritt, 2008).

4. Management

The key principle of management for ponds is to maintain a variety of successional stages within

the pondscape of the East Riding. However the later successional stages often result in ponds

drying out and becoming carr woodland. Therefore periodic monitoring and management

intervention to prevent succession to carr woodland may be required. Environmental

Stewardship includes options to protect and enhance ponds including the creation of buffer

zones and, under Higher Level Stewardship (HLS), for the maintenance of ponds of high wildlife

value.

Local Nature Reserves in the East Riding containing ponds include Howden Marsh, Sugar Mill

Ponds, Eastrington Ponds and Humber Bridge Country Park. Other nature reserves with

standing water habitats include Watton Carrs, Tophill Low, Beacon Ponds, North Cave

Wetlands, Hollym Carrs and the proposed Country Park at Oak Hill.

The East Riding Ponds Project 1998 – 2001 worked on a series of village ponds to improve their

environmental value. As a result of this project some work is ongoing on several ponds to

improve their quality, e.g. at Swanland, Walkington and Wetwang.



The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Water for Wildlife Project carries out pond creation projects at

various locations. For example farm pond creation within the River Hull headwaters.

Guidance on managing ponds for nature conservation is widely available, one of the most

comprehensive resources being the Pond Book published by the Ponds Conservation Trust

(Williams et al, 1999). However, there is such great diversity in the wildlife interest of ponds that

appropriate management must be assessed on a site-by-site basis, based on good survey data.

Pond management should be ideally carried out during the autumn to minimise any adverse

effects on pond fauna such as amphibians.

5. Threats

Ponds in the East Riding face many potential threats:

direct or indirect destruction as a result of urban development, agricultural intensification and infrastructure schemes (roads, pipelines etc). Although direct loss of ponds will often be mitigated, new ponds may not be suitable for species dependent upon long-established ones;

land drainage or hydrological change (e.g. resulting from groundwater abstraction) may threaten remnant wetlands, groundwater-fed ponds and seasonal water bodies;

water quality in some ponds is adversely affected by effluent or urban, industrial, highway or agricultural run-off. In rural areas, septic tanks and packet sewage plants have to meet high effluent standards but still add nutrients to surface water flows;

inappropriate management: pond management is often undertaken without proper assessment of existing biodiversity interests, and intensive management, however well intentioned, can cause irreversible harm;

climate change may threaten seasonal ponds in particular, especially if prolonged droughts become regular;

intensive recreational uses such as fishing, water sports and duck-feeding, can have adverse impacts on water and habitat quality;

habitat fragmentation: individual ponds are richer in biodiversity where they form part of an extensive ‘pondscape’ (Boothby, J.1999). Some Priority Species such as great crested newt depend on occasional dispersal between breeding ponds to reduce in-breeding; this and several other key species also require a mosaic of aquatic and terrestrial habitats to meet their needs, so it is important that ponds sit within a matrix of complimentary habitats;

invasive alien plant species are a current threat to ponds in the East Riding, with Australian swamp stonecrop Crassula helmsii and the water fern Azolla filiculoides already creating significant management problems, see Guidance Note - Alien and Invasive Species (Section 5).



6. Potential for Enhancement

There is considerable potential for the creation of new ponds and the enhancement of existing

ones via funding under Rural Development Programme Grants (e.g. HLS), planning agreements,

mineral site restoration, estate management (including by public bodies), sustainable urban

drainage systems (SUDS), the creation of flood water storage lagoons and wildlife-friendly

gardening. A range of funding sources and grant schemes are available that can be used to fund

pond conservation work.

Current Action

The East Riding Phase 1 Habitat and Local Wildlife Site (LWS) Surveys cover former and

existing LWS coupled with potential new sites, which will include a number of ponds. The

survey process will also identify most of the ponds in the East Riding via aerial photography

interpretation and ground-truthing. However the survey is based on OS Mastermap polygons so

will exclude some in field ponds.

The UK Draft National Pond HAP provides guidelines for defining ‘priority’ ponds, which will

have implications for planning decisions and the targeting of conservation resources. Selective

surveys could be carried out to identify priority ponds in the East Riding.

The Pond Conservation Trust’s Million Ponds Project aims to create a network of clean water

ponds for freshwater wildlife by creating an extensive network of new ponds across the UK.

Clean water ponds are those without any input from potentially contaminated external surface

water sources. Phase 1 of the Million Ponds Project runs from 2008 to 2012 in England and

Wales and aims to create (i) 4,000 clean water ponds, and (ii) 1,000 ponds for pond-associated

BAP species by providing grants, bespoke training and technical support.

Wetland Vision Project funding has enabled some pond creation works in the Humberhead

Levels, principally in the River Foulness corridor.

Since 2005 100,000 m2 of temporary pools have been created under HLS. Fifty ponds of High

Wildlife Value >100 sq m have been maintained and 20 ponds of High Wildlife Value < 100 sq

m maintained under HLS (Chris McGregor, Natural England, pers. comms.)

A range of smaller community and parish level pond improvement and creation projects are

taking place across the county by local groups and parish councils. The YWT undertook a

LEADER funded Parish Ponds project in 2011-12.

From: [email protected]: 22 November 2012 10:25To: McIlwraith, ClareSubject: RE: CCS- Statutory Consultation Event: Ecology - MEETING ACTION

Dear Clare,

Thanks for the map of the River Hull crossing. The latest GIS layer of LWS (4.12) was completed in mid- October andincludes the decision of the most recent LWS Panel on 10 October. I recommend getting this layer from NEYEDC. Idon't think the changes will be significant in terms of the pipeline route, from memory one candidate site was adoptedand one candidate site was deleted.

The LBAP Strategy adopted by the Council in 2010 is the correct LBAP document to cite. The only HAP adopted todate is woodland. Now I have completed work on the LWS Document I will be progressing more HAPs and I'mhoping to have the Ponds HAP adopted in January 2013.

I will be on leave or out of the office from tomorrow morning until Tuesday 27 PM. I will try and get comments to youtoday, if not, it will be Tuesday afternoon. However having had a quick look at the scoping document I don't see anysignificant issues, so comments are likely to be very minor.

regards,

Dear Vaughan

One of the actions arising from the scoping meeting was the request from yourself for a plan showing the current CCS draftroute alignment in the location of the River Hull non open cut crossing.

2

Please find plan attached showing this.

Please note this is a DRAFT alignment and as such this plan should not be circulated without prior permission from National GridCarbon.

You also highlighted that there had been changes to a couple of LWS designations, I would be grateful if you confirm what theseare.

In relation to the LWS updates, you stated that the most accurate and up to date GIS layer for LWS’s were produced inOctober. Would it be possible that this finalised layer be proposed to AEOM? We have received the information from theNEYEDC including paying for updated information but believe that this was earlier than October. Whilst AECOM have been ableto make changes to the layer ourselves based upon the information you have provided but would like to ensure that theinformation we how is consistent with that which you hold.

Could I also enquire regarding the status the East Yorkshire LBAP? Is this the Strategy Document adopted in 2010? Have anyHAP’s or SAP’s yet been produced?

ALL – could I re-affirm that we would like to receive any comments you have on the draft scoping ecology chapter by Tuesday27th November.

Kind regards

Clare

Thanks Vaughan – obviously if we get anything I will provide the records.

Patrick – any information regarding the Hudson Way would be greatly appreciate to inform the Ecological Impact Assessmentfor the project and mitigation requirements.

Thanks

Hi Clare,

Good luck with the reptile survey, I always the area you are surveying looked suitable but I'm not aware of anyrecords. We checked the LWS and all the sites you listed are still candidate sites, none have beendetermined. Regarding a Management Plan for the Hudson Way, I believe it has just been commissioned. Howeverthere was an ecological study undertaken by Wold ecology a few years. Patrick Wharam should be able to give youmore information about this.

Hi Vaughan

Yes the land agents are aware that the quarry is under a separate ownership so are looking into arrangements separately there.Yes I have seen the sign regards bees too – maybe its just to keep people out?!

We will only place where suitable and no causing any issue for the public. Yes will be a balance between locating themappropriately and them being obvious for joe public to want to remove.

Were you able to consider my previous e-mail regards the management plan and the status of the LWS’s?

Thanks

Hi Clare,

I have cc to Patrick Wharam who is the Team leader for Countryside Access, the team which manage the HudsonWay LNR. In terms of land ownership, I'm pretty sure the quarry is owned, or least tenented by someone else. thereis a sign up saying private keep out, 100,000 bees! I think the south facing embankment is the more likely forCommon Lizard, although it is pretty open and therefore It will be difficult to hide the tiles, although there is somescrub further from memory.

regards,

Vaughan

We are proceeding with the completion of reptile surveys on the CCS proposed route corridor and have included the areaacross which the route crosses the Hudson Way.

Although we have a general agreement with East Yorkshire Riding Council for non intrusive access for ecology surveys in termsof specific approval of the completion of the reptile surveys work I would hoping if you could pass on this e-mail to anyonewithin the Council who may need to be aware of the completion of this survey work (or from whom we need to agree specificpermission).

That said it was hoped to lay the artificial reptile refugia (roofing felt squares) s in suitable areas (away from the path anddiscreetly as possible) this week. We will then seek to undertake the survey visits to check the felts (as well as a general visualsearch) from next week on suitable weather day. All felts will be entirely removed on completion of the survey work (by end ofSeptember). Felts will be labelled.

The area within which we will be laying felts is that shown on the attached. – in suitable habitat locations.

Any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

ASPECT

HABITATS: (AREA IN HA) A21 Scrub: dense/continuous,A22 Scrub: scattered,C31 Other tall herb and fern: tall ruderal

NVC:

SITE DESCRIPTION:The majority of this long section is dominated by a mosaic habitat of dense or scattered scrub cover on both sides of the central track, together with abundant tall ruderal vegetation. Typical and widespread shrub and tree species include hawthorn ( Crataegus monogyna ), ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ), elder ( Sambucus nigra ), blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ), scattered sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ), occasional field maple ( A. campestre ), wild cherry ( Prunus avium ). hazel ( Corylus avellana ) and scattered pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ).

The tall ruderal vegetation associated with the scrub cover is typified by abundant bramble ( Rubus fruticosus ), nettle ( Urtica dioica ), couch grass ( Elytrigia repens ), false oat grass ( Arrhenatherum elatius ), locally frequent dog-rose ( Rosa canina ), common knapweed ( Centaurea nigra ), rosebay willowherb ( Chamerion angustifolium ), creeping thistle ( Cirsium arvense ), great willowherb ( Epilobium hirsutum ), hogweed ( Heracleum sphondylium ), Yorkshire-fog ( Holcus lanatus ), cleavers ( Galium aparine ) and cock's-foot ( Dactylis glomerata ).

Lower growing fringe vegetation contains locally abundant yarrow ( Achillea millefolium ), common bent ( Agrostis capillaris ), field bindweed ( Convolvulus arvensis ), crosswort ( Cruciata laevipes ), red fescue ( Festuca rubra ), herb-Robert ( Geranium robertianum ), ground ivy ( Glechoma hederacea ), perforate



Date Printed: 31 Oct 2012 Version: 2


St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum ), meadow vetchling ( Lathyrus pratensis ), autumn hawkbit ( Leontodon autumnalis ), perennial rye-grass ( Lolium perenne ), bird's-foot-trefoil ( Lotus corniculatus ), black medick ( Medicago lupulina ), red bartsia ( Odontites vernus ), ribwort plantain ( Plantago lanceolata ), great plantain ( P. major ), annual meadow grass ( Poa annua ), creeping cinquefoil ( Potentilla reptans ), creeping buttercup ( Ranunculus repens ), greater stitchwort ( Stellaria holostea ), white and red clover ( Trifolium repens, T. pratense ), tufted and bush vetch ( Vicia cracca, V. sepium ).

The eastern section of the track runs through a residential area and the central trackway has been tarmacadamed. Here, there is still the same scrub cover and tall ruderal vegetation, but with a preponderance of more urban weeds such as buddleia ( Buddleja davidii ) and hedge and large bindweed ( Calystegia sepium, C. silvatica ). Additionally, planted species such as guelder rose ( Viburnum opulus ) and cherry laurel ( Prunus laurocerasus ) are present.

Overall, vegetation communities contain a range of common and widespread species. There is no ready match with NVC communities, and the site is generally well used by the public.
