Barnwood Fields - Habitat Information An informal survey of the site for the Barnwood Fields development gives the following information:
|
| Fields | Fields A and B are species rich
pasture, a UK Priority Habitat. They could also be used by
ground nesting birds.
Fields C and D, the proposed development, are
agriculturally improved. |
| Barn | Possible bat roost.
Possible
barn owl (the barn is close to a wood and grassland). |
| Woods | Ancient semi-natural woodland is a
UK Priority Habitat.
The woods contain badger setts and bats. |
| Pond | Great crested newts have been
recorded. |
| Corridors | The stream is a wildlife
"corridor" between two areas of woodland. It seems
suitable for water voles, otters and white clawed crayfish.
The ancient species rich hedgerows are also corridors. The hedgerows
will be covered by the Hedgerow Regulations. |
The next stage is completion of a Biodiversity Impact Form. See Part 2 for details of how to do this.
