2.2.5 The value of the survey area to foraging batswas assessed according to the occurrence of

vegetation that typically supports high insect biomass such as edge and mosaic habitats,

shelteredhabitatfeatures,broadleavedtreesandaquatichabitats.

2.2.6 Commutinghabitatincludeslinearvegetatedfeaturessuchastreelines,woodlandedgesand

watercourses.

2.2.7 Potential barriers to the movement of animals includes lighting, major roads (A-

roads/Motorways)andpoorlyvegetatedurbanandindustriallydevelopedland.

Conservation(NaturalHabitatsetc.)Regulations2010

ThespeciesprotectionprovisionoftheECHabitatsDirective1992,asimplementedbytheConservationofHabitatsandSpeciesRegulations2010,comprisesthree“derogationtests”whichmustbeappliedbytheLocalPlanningAuthoritywhendecidingwhethertograntplanningpermissionforadevelopmentthatcouldharmaEuropeanProtectiveSpecies.Thethreetestsarethat:

§ Theactivitytobelicensedmustbeforimperativereasonsofoverridingpublicinterestorforpublichealthandsafety

§ Theremustbenosatisfactoryalternative;and

§ FavourableConservationStatus(FCS)ofthespeciesmustbemaintained.

Itistheresponsibilityoftheapplicanttosubmitsufficientinformationtoaddressthesetestswhenapplyingforplanningpermission.Fordevelopmentactivities,anEPSMLicenceapplicationcanonlybeobtainedafterplanningpermissionhasbeengranted.However,thegrantingofplanningpermissiondoesnotguaranteethatalicencewillbeissuedbytherelevantcountrysideagency.

NationalPlanningPolicyFramework(2012)

TheNationalPlanningPolicyFramework(NPPF)(2012)setsouttheGovernment’snationalpoliciesondifferentaspectsofplanninginEngland.Section10paragraphs109to125detailsplanningpoliciesontheconservationandenhancementofthenaturalenvironment.Circular06/2005providesfurtherguidanceinrespectofstatutoryobligationsforbiodiversityandgeologicalconservationandtheirimpactwithintheplanningsystem.

Insummary:

§ Theplanningsystemshouldcontributetoandenhancethenaturalandlocalenvironmentby: ‘minimising impacts on biodiversity and providing net gains in biodiversity wherepossible, contributing to the Government’s commitment to halt the overall decline inbiodiversity,includingbyestablishingcoherentecologicalnetworksthataremoreresilienttocurrentandfuturepressures.’(NPPFSection10,para109)

§ Whendeterminingplanningapplications,localplanningauthoritiesshouldaimtoconserveandenhancebiodiversitybyapplyingthefollowingprinciples:



§ Ifsignificantharmresultingfromadevelopmentcannotbeavoided(throughlocatingonanalternative site with less harmful impacts), adequately mitigated, or, as a last resort,compensatedfor,thenplanningpermissionshouldberefused(Section10,para118).

§ ProposeddevelopmentonlandwithinoroutsideaSiteofSpecialScientificInterestlikelytohave an adverse effect on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (either individually or incombinationwithotherdevelopments)shouldnotnormallybepermitted(Section10,para118).

§ Developmentproposalswheretheprimaryobjectiveistoconserveorenhancebiodiversityshouldbepermitted(Section10,para118).

§ Opportunities to incorporate biodiversity in and around developments should beencouraged(Section10,para118).

§ Planningpermissionshouldberefusedfordevelopmentresultinginthelossordeteriorationofirreplaceablehabitats,includingancientwoodlandandthelossofagedorveterantreesfoundoutsideancientwoodland,unlesstheneedfor,andbenefitsof,thedevelopmentinthatlocationclearlyoutweightheloss(Section10,para118).

§ Potential Special Protection Areas and possible Special Areas of Conservation, listed orproposed Ramsar sites and sites identified or required as compensatory measures foradverseeffectsonEuropeansites,shouldbegiventhesameprotectionasEuropeansites(Section10,para118).

§ The presumption in favour of sustainable development (para 14) does not apply wheredevelopment requiring appropriate assessment under the Birds or Habitats Directives isbeingconsidered,plannedordetermined(Section10,para119).

§ Planningpoliciesanddecisionsshouldlimittheimpactoflightpollutionfromartificiallighton local amenity, intrinsically dark landscapes andnature conservation (Section 10, para125).
