1.1 As part of the consultation process for the proposed phase II development of the new

storage compound adjacent to the existing visitor centre, it is a requirement of

Bournemouth Borough Council (BBC) for an environmental assessment to be completed in

order to examine the potential ecological, environmental, and geographical impacts that

could arise from the construction phase of the project.

1.6 The following terms have been produced and will be used as a guide to assess the

significance of impacts where they are predicted to occur.

Very large positive or negative impact – Developments would cause a huge positive or

negative change to the environment. The impact would be of international, national

and regional importance.

Large-positive or negative impact – Developments would cause a great deal of

improvement or decline in the area.

Medium-positive or negative impact – Noticeable improvement or decline in the area.

Small-positive or negative impact – Barely noticeable improvement or decline in the

area.

No positive or negative impact – No observable improvement or decline in the area.

1.2 It is a requirement under EU Council Directive on the conservation of natural habitats, of

wild fauna and flora and the conservation regulations 1994 (Mcleod et al 2005), as amended, to

undertake Appropriate Assessment (AA) for implications of any land use plan on a proposed

site listed from any of the following:

Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

Special Protection Area (SPA)

Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)

Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI)

Suitable Alternative Natural Green space (SANG)

Local Nature Reserve (LNR)

1.3 This desk based report will discuss the findings of the Applied Sciences Environmental

Services (ASES), for the proposed Hengistbury Head plan. An environmental impact

assessment (EIA) has been produced in order to assess any potential effects of the plan on

the integrity of its SSSI, SAC, SNCI, SANG, LNR and SPA statuses during construction.

1.4 The LNR declaration of 1990 is a commitment by Bournemouth Borough Council to manage

the area in a manner that will protect and enhance the natural features of the site

(Management Plan 2005). This report demonstrates BBC’s obligation to maintaining this.

1.5 This environmental Statement will include and highlight the significant environmental

effects of proposed development and key constraints as outlined during the development

stages. It includes methods to reduce or prevent significant impacts on the environment

where applicable.

2.0 Description

2.2 Proposed Site Plan

2.1 Site map

ASES

5

The Hengistbury Head site is situated to the south and south-east of the Bournemouth suburbs; Southbourne and Christchurch. The site for the proposed phase II development is positioned in the Barn Field, which lies approximately 200m east of Hengistbury Head Car Park.

The area comprises a mix of acid grasslands, scrub and dry heath and sits between Warren Hill and Double Dykes. Barn Field has been the subject of restricted access since 2001 having been enclosed by fencing on three sides. As a result, grazing has become the predominant land use where ground nesting birds such as the Skylark (Alauda arvensis) and the Meadow Pipit (Anthus Pratensis) have begun to benefit from this enhanced natural environment (Hawes 2006). To the south, the area is defined by a low sea cliff and beach which is exposed to the effects of strong prevailing winds. Warren Hill lies to the east and has special prehistoric interest (Cunliffe 1987). Hengistbury Head is a site of international importance and is registered as a Local Nature Reserve, Site of Specific Scientific Interest, Special Protection Area and a Site of Nature Conservation Importance. The surrounding areas contain an intrinsic mix of wetlands, grasslands, heathland, cliffs and scrub. The site is connected by a network of Public Rights of Way and the Land Train route which provides access to the Hengistbury Head Car Park and adjacent Hiker Café to the Mudeford Sandbank. There is also a road link to the centre of Southbourne known as the Broadway.

2.3 What is the site and surrounding area like?

Subject to clearance, planning permission and funding, Phase II development is

scheduled to commence in spring 2016 and to be completed by summer 2017. The development

follows the earlier 2013 project in which a new visitor centre (Figure 4) was established when

extensions and refurbishments of Barn Cottage were made. Phase II will involve the construction

of a new storage site for the visitor centre and the relocation of the land train’s storage facility to

an area adjacent to, and South of, the Field Studies Centre (now Hengistbury Head Outdoor

Education Centre).

2.4 Project Information

Closure to the Public of part of the eastern-end of the Hengistbury Head Car Park which will be used by contractors for the duration of the construction stage;

Closure to the Public of the access road to the Barn/Barn Field (Monday-Friday during normal working hours.) This access road will be available only to construction traffic during the entire development period. However, Emergency Service access will be maintained throughout the period should the need arise;

There will be a temporary diversion of part of the land train route due to the access road closure (see Figure 2);

Relocation of the Land Train storage compound from the back of the Barn Cottage to an area adjacent to, and South of, the Field Studies Centre (now Hengistbury Head Outdoor Education Centre).

ASES

The Phase II development has the potential to impact the area with a number of significant

changes. It is the responsibility of ASES to identify any potential positive, negative and negligible

impacts caused by the new development. This is of particular importance in an area such as

Hengistbury Head given its international importance to nature conservation and archaeology.

3.1 Will the local community be disturbed during the construction phase?

It is anticipated that some minor, and unavoidable impacts to local resident amenity may arise

during the construction. There is the potential for noise pollution, and an increase to particulate

and dust levels from certain construction processes, including those associated with the

movement of construction vehicles (Greater London Authority 2006). However, these are

measured as having a very small negative impact on the local community and will be negligible,

temporal and contained to within the site.

The partial closure and reduced capacity of the Hengistbury Head Car Park when converted into

the construction storage compound is considered to provide possible issues of congestion on

routes accessing the site. During construction and at peak operating times, some visitors may be

forced to find alternative parking in areas away from the main car park. As many as 80% of

visitors presently arrive by private vehicle so, it is likely that this could lead to some displacement

to local residential areas. These areas could become congested by motor vehicles and there

could be some cases of illegal parking. Solent Beach car park however, does provide an

additional 581 spaces, therefore it is predicted to have only a small negative impact. (Parkopedia

2015)

The closure of the eastern end of Hengistbury Head Car Park also has the potential to negatively

impact the Hiker Café. The conversion of the car park into a storage compound and the closure

of the access road towards the visitor centre will restrict access to the café and the steady

stream of construction vehicles may make the café inaccessible to the public. A medium

negative impact is predicted, however, this may increase if the issue is not addressed.

3.0 Environmental Impacts

requirements. (Brunsdon 2015)

ASES 3.2 What will happen to local air quality during the construction of Phase II?

It is highly possible that the Phase II development will produce air pollution including dust

emissions. The movement of construction vehicles is likely to cause the majority of additional

fuel and dust emissions. However, good construction practices and use of specific mitigation

methods will reduce the risk of excess emissions during development and the relocation of the

land train storage compound. Correct control measures of vehicle movements, thorough

preparation and maintenance of the site, appropriate use of equipment and suitable methods of

waste disposal are all examples of good mitigation practices (West Sussex County Council 2013).

A small negative impact is expected.

Noise pollution and increased vibration is expected during the development phase and

predominantly from construction vehicles and machinery. Noise and vibration will be highest in

the following areas during the construction period;

The Barn Field construction site adjacent to the visitor centre.

The Hengistbury Head Car Park.

The access road between Hengistbury Head Car Park and Barn Field.

The Broadway road connecting Southbourne and Hengistbury Head Car Park.

The road connecting the visitor centre and Hengistbury Head Outdoor Centre.

The re-directed land train route.

The excess noise produced during this period is unlikely to have a major human impact however

it could make the local area surrounding Barn Field and the Hiker Cafe less desirable for visitors.

There will be a small negative impact.

Increased noise pollution is more likely to impact on local wildlife and ecology however,

determining the total effect is often complicated because of the varying responses between

species. Nevertheless, there are a number of common ways in which wildlife and ecology can be

adversely affected by an increase in noise pollution;

Hearing loss resulting from noise levels exceeding 85db.

Masking of important environment clues, cues and signals.

Non-auditory effects such as increased heart rate, increased or decreased respiration

levels and stress reaction.

Behavioural effects such as territory abandonment and loss of reproduction (Cornman

2003).

The effect of increased noise has the potential to include all these listed however, the major

impact is likely to be the possible short to medium term exodus of resident reptiles and

amphibians such as the Common Lizard, and the Natterjack Toad to quieter areas, away from the

site and the relocated land train route. On a smaller scale, the presence of high levels of ambient

noise may affect long distance communication of birds such as the Blackcap and Dartford

Warbler (Underhill-Day 2005). This is known as acoustic masking (Rheindt 2003). However, birds

are often able to adapt to increased noise as evidenced by the habitation of birds in the vicinity

of commercial airports (Manci et al 1998). Noise pollution resulting from increased construction

traffic along the access roads within the site is predicted to have a medium negative impact

which in turn could be reduced by using correct mitigation measures.

3.3 Will the local environment be impacted by increased noise during construction?

9

Vibration caused during the construction phase can be anticipated. The movement of heavy

goods, construction vehicles and use of machinery or other equipment is likely to have a

moderate impact. The effects of vibration will be felt most where construction work and

movement occurs.

Additional vibration from construction is predicted to have almost no impact on the human

environment however, a medium negative impact is expected to affect local wildlife, ecology

and geology.

Vibration from increased vehicle movements during construction work may be enough to cause

soil break up and damage delicate habitats of both flora and fauna species along the access

roads and the Barn Field site. Phase II will be categorised by two types of vibration; Continuous

random vibration and random vibration due to single impact or low rate repeated impact.

(Amick and Gendreau 2000). Acid Grassland is predominant in Barn field (Figure 6) and local

species such as Bird’s Foot and Heath Bedstraw may be at risk (London Biodiversity Partnership

2014). Moreover, there is the possibility of damage to ant populations following increased

vibration and trampling. The presence of ant hills in Barn Field increases the diversity of flora

and fauna in the area; therefore a reduction in numbers could be viewed as a threat to the

environment (Reeve 2006).

Additionally, the channelling of visitors on the southern path adjacent to beach following the

closure of the access road to Barn Field also has the potential to increase vibration from

trampling. The temporary increase in visitor traffic along with the land train on this relatively

narrow route will have some potential implications. The route to the south of the Double Dykes,

characterised by the low lying cliffs, already suffers severe erosion from visitor pressure (West

2013.) A visitor traffic increase will further exacerbate the loss of cliff-top vegetation and

promote gulley formation leading to cliff instability, collapse and retreat as shown in Figure 8

(Budetta et al 2000).

surrounding areas (Repository-HH 2003)

3.5 Will wildlife habitats and current nature conservation strategy be affected during

construction?

The proposed size and dimensions of phase II indicates that a portion of the northern end of

Barn Field will be taken measuring approximately 30m by 13m. The area contains a mix of acid

grassland and scrub and both provide valuable habitats. Most likely to be negatively affected

will be Bell Heather to the north and a large number of scarce non-grass species including; Birds

Foot, Suffocated Clover and Sea Mouse-Ear. Soil enrichment from increased air pollution will

favour more competitive grasses at the expense of some heathers (White et al 2008).

Furthermore a number of Natterjack Toad pond habitats would be destroyed to give way for

the storage building (Figure 17). There is likely to be a medium negative impact as a result.

Current nature conservation strategy for the Barn Field site consists of the following key

components;

To reduce the amount of scrub cover on heathland habitats;

To continue to restrict access to most sensitive areas including the Natterjack ponds

and sand dunes;

To eradicate invasive alien plant species from the site;

Continuation of cattle grazing (Management Plan 2005).

The development stage set to occur between spring 2016 and summer 2017 will inevitably

impact on nature conservation practices. There is however the potential for both positive and

negative impact. The closure and clearance of the northern part of Barn Field will cease cattle

grazing indefinitely and is likely to affect previously restricted sensitive areas. However, positive

effects could include the eradication of some unwanted species and a reduction in scrub which

populates much of the site. Therefore the nature conservation strategy will experience both

medium positive and negative impacts.

could be destroyed following clearance (Brunsdon 2015)

3.6 Will the landscape character and visual aspect of the area be affected during construction?

During construction it is highly likely that the landscape and visuals will be affected. The regular

stream of construction vehicles moving between Barn Field, Hengistbury Head Car Park and

Southbourne may prove unsightly for visitors. Furthermore, the conversion of the eastern end

of Hengistbury Head Car Park into the temporary construction storage compound could restrict

views of the Hiker Café and may act as a visitor deterrent. The site of construction work in Barn

Field looking towards to the visitor centre could also become unpleasant for visitors and may

take away from the natural calmness and tranquillity the area has to offer. Overall a medium

negative impact is expected from disturbed visuals during construction.

3.7 How will pedestrians, cyclists and non-motorists be affected by constraints during

construction?

There will be a restriction to one route from Hengistbury Head car park to Warren Hill and

beyond whilst the visitor centre access road is closed. Footpaths feeding the site from the north,

which bypass the Hengistbury Head Outdoor Centre will be cut off and as a result will receive far

more limited usage. Cyclists will also be affected following the road closure as cycling is not

permitted via the alternate route. At times the route may become congested and visitors may

face longer walking distances should Hengistbury Head car park fill. However, the changes are

expected to cause only minor disruption and so a small negative impact is expected.

3.8 Are any historic and archaeological features likely to be impacted during construction?

There are a number of Bronze Age and other historic features that appear around the site which

include; the Double Dykes, two round barrows and an inner defence earthwork. As a result, the

discovery of new historic features and artefacts cannot be discounted. Mitigation methods will

be applied in this case however, previously identified features are not expected to be

impacted. (Management Plan 2005).

4.0 Executive Summary and Conclusion

This environmental impact assessment has been an iterative process and one which has been

carefully constructed and developed to ensure the environmental effects arising from Phase II

are included with as much detail and clarity as possible.

There are likely to be a number of potential environmental, ecological and geographical impacts

that arise during development and from the four key constraints outlined. The impact

significance guide aims to simplify the potential problems so they are more easily assessed as

development progresses.

ASES

5.0 Methods

During the completion of this report a number of different source materials were used to

provide accurate information and insight into the potential implications resulting from Phase II

Development. The majority of material used consisted of previous journal reports sourced from

the Repository H-H Index however, some other journals, books and past reports on other sites

with similar developments were used. All data and information once collected was put into a

standard EIA format. Furthermore, a number of the photographs included were taken from a

site visit to Hengistbury Head. The visit facilitated a better understanding of the landscape and

ecology and the opportunity to identify additional impacts and effects which may not have

been evident prior to the site visit.
