2022 Natural England Mapping Invasive Non-Native Species on the River Itchen - Lee-on-The Solent to Itchen Estuary SSSI

In 2017 The Marine Biological Association (MBA) carried out rapid assessment surveys (RAS) at a number of sites along the estuaries of the R. Itchen and the R. Hamble in the Solent as part of a wider study into the distribution of NNS in estuaries in southern England. The R. Itchen was surveyed from its tidal limit at Woodmill, down to where it meets Southampton Water. Natural England commissioned the work reported here to determine whether there has subsequently been any onward colonisation of INNS within the R. Itchen, and in particular of the Red-ripple bryozoan (Watersipora subatra), an invasive bryozoan which has been shown to be spreading widely in the Solent (and elsewhere) and was recorded at only one site at the mouth of the R. Itchen in 2019, subsequent to the baseline surveys in 2017.

2022-2024 FISP: Ecosystem Benefits of UK Oyster Aquaculture Sites Mumbles 2023 Underwater Imagery Survey

As part of the Fisheries Industry Science Partnerships (FISP) project âEcosystem Benefits of UK Oyster Aquaculture Sitesâ, project partners Tethys Oysters Ltd. / Atlantic Edge Oysters Ltd., Envision Marine Ltd. and the University of Essex have collaborated in a research project to determine ecosystem benefits provided by oyster aquaculture by measuring biodiversity and denitrification activity at a variety of sites in England and Wales. Surveys were undertaken by ENVISION in 2023 to measure the biodiversity associated with three oyster farms and one naturalised rock oyster reef in comparison to control sites with similar environmental conditions, as well as ecosystem function (nitrification/denitrification activity) at these sites. Recognising the importance of conservation and restoration of native oyster populations, surveys were also carried out in 2022 and 2023 to measure oyster abundance and associated biodiversity at an historic native oyster site, commercially restocked with native oysters in 2021. Survey works included recording of underwater imagery, sediment sampling, oyster dredging and ecosystem function sampling. Underwater camera systems were used to record the diversity of biota around the oysters during submersion. Sediment samples were taken for measurement of diversity of macrofauna, particle size distribution and total organic carbon, and the ecosystem function testing involved sampling of sediment and swabs of oysters/hard surfaces to determine the abundance and activity of denitrifying/nitrifying microorganisms on oyster site substrates, through genomic analysis. The results of the denitrification and biodiversity services provided by oyster aquaculture were communicated to consumers, industry and decision makers to increase understanding and promote awareness of the ecosystem benefits provided by aquaculture.

Whelk metrics data from The Wash between 2021 and 2025

Between 2021 and 2025 Cefas conducted a pilot study to investigate which 
common whelk (*Buccinum undatum*) metrics may be informative to collect for 
English waters stock delineation purposes, and at what spatial resolution. 
These metrics primarily include shell length distributions and associated 
sampling metrics (haul coordinates, gear type, pot soak times). Select samples 
were sent to Bangor University for dissections, providing further biometrics 
including; shell dimensions (length, width, aperture), weights (whole animal, 
gonad, foot), sex, maturity, estimated ages. Mark-Recapture Surveys were 
conducted in 2022 and 2024 in The Wash where tag numbers, positional/temporal 
data for release/recapture, and environmental parameters (sea depth and 
temperature) were recorded alongside shell length distributions.

Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) Vanuatu water sampling results September 2023

Under the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) water quality data was 
collected around Efate island in Vanuatu during September 2023. Sampling was 
focused on rivers around the island, Port Vila Bay, and Emten Lagoon. Sites 
were visited opportunistically once for nutrient analysis (total suspended 
solids (TSS) (mg/L); Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonium, Phosphate and Silicate 
(µmol/L); Chlorophyll-a and Phaeophytin-a (µg/L)), while microbiology sites 
were visited up to 4 times to assess daily fluctuations (reported as Colony 
Forming Units (CFU/100ml) counts). Passive samplers were deployed for 5-7 days 
to assess accumulation of metals (Cadmium, Chromium, Lead, Nickel, Zinc, Iron, 
Copper and Manganese (µg/l (ppb))) at fixed locations.

Assessment product for good environmental status of non-quota shellfish stocks for the UK Marine Strategy 2024

The UK Marine Strategy assessment product for commercially exploited non-quota shellfish 
stocks shows the Good Environmental Status (GES) for descriptor 3. The assessment of 
environmental status for commercially exploited non-quota shellfish stocks is based on 
the results from national stock assessments for shellfish that are mostly data-limited. 
Although methods for stock assessments might vary between stocks and depend on the 
quantity and quality of the available data, the relevant stock assessments data are 
considered equally following the method for GES in the fishing pressure indicator 
assessment. 

This assessment product consider national stock assessments that estimate biomass and 
reference points to establish a harvest rate or fishing pressure that can sustain the 
maximum sustainable yield for 62 non-quota shellfish stocks from 1990 to 2019 (Dobby and 
others 2012, 2017; Delargy and others 2019; Cefas 2015a, 2025b, 2020a, 2020b; Lawler and 
others, 2023; Mesquita and others 2016, 2017, 2023).

Green Belt

The Green Belt in Northumberland forms part of a wider area of Green Belt designation surrounding the conurbation of Tyne and Wear. Since the original designation in 1963, the Green Belt in Northumberland has undergone a number of modifications, with areas being added to as well as removed from the Green Belt. This Northumberland Local Plan consolidates the boundaries defined in the Local Plans and Core Strategies of the former Tynedale, Castle Morpeth and Wansbeck districts, and the Borough of Blyth Valley, and identifies the detailed boundaries of the Green Belt around Morpeth. The Northumberland Local Plan identifies the full extent of the revised Green Belt in Northumberland, as defined on the Policies Map.

For a full copy of the policy, including proper formatting, please visit the [Northumberland Local Plan (Adopted March 2022)](https://www.northumberland.gov.uk/NorthumberlandCountyCouncil/media/Planning-and-Building/planning%20policy/Local%20Plan/Northumberland-Local-Plan-Adopted-March-2022.pdf). The below version is included for reference only. Please note that this Local Plan only covers Northumberland as a Local Planning Authority, so excludes Northumberland National Park where the Northumberland National Park Authority are the Local Planning Authority.

__Policy STP 7: Strategic approach to the Green Belt (Strategic Policy)__

1\. The Green Belt within Northumberland will be protected to:

  a. Check the unrestricted sprawl of Tyne and Wear;

  b. Safeguard the countryside from encroachment;

Wood Pasture and Parkland (England)

Data subject: Provisional wood-pasture and parkland inventory created during the Natural England Wood-pasture and Parkland Inventory update. Methods of Data Capture: Collation of data from existing national provisional inventory, local record centres, local councils and other sources, verified using Epoch 1-4 maps and aerial photography. Parkland was defined as areas with a minimum of 3 trees, excluding boundary trees, which had less than 250 m between trees. Park extent was mapped to boundary features where park trees were less than 100 m from the boundary or the boundary included a large tree which was less than 250 m from a park tree. Some areas of woodland were included where possible park trees were present. Some open areas and wooded areas were not removed as the precise extent of parkland habitat was difficult to determine from aerial photography. Cemeteries and churchyards were excluded unless they were entirely within the park boundary. The minimum mappable unit for the inventory was 0.25ha. Metalled roads and rivers were excluded according to Natural England mapping rules, therefore some areas <0.25ha may be present if separated by a road. See the data capture rule base for full details. Geographic coverage: England wide. Temporal coverage: 1976 onwards. In total 9815 polygons were captured, covering approximately 278,004.57Ha. Confidence in the data: Each record has been assigned a confidence level based upon the quantity and quality of the source data. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.

Spatial Prioritisation of Total Carbon Storage 2023 (England)

These spatial datasets consider the lands contribution to preventing and mitigating climate change, through storage of carbon in the Soils (below ground) & Vegetation (above ground). This total carbon spatial datasets represent a strategic resource for England, that indicate the range of carbon storage values in tonnes of carbon per hectare (t C Ha-1 ). At a local scale (e.g. 1:50 000). They are presented as a series of raster datasets for use in GIS Systems at a resolution of 25m2. These maps will assist users to find out where the most important carbon stores in soils in their areas.
They are not suitable for field scale carbon mitigation as this would require field scale carbon assessment. It is often the case that where we have lower below ground carbon (mineral soils) the conditions are great for better tree and vegetation growth to get greater above ground carbon storage.
Where below ground carbon storage is greater this is due to wetter conditions and soil waterlogging reducing organic matter decomposition. This leads to poorer growing conditions that result in lower above ground carbon storage.
The addition of the above and below ground carbon layers seems to mean that carbon data is more homogenised and has much less carbon variation within areas. Although Total Carbon Storage is useful the data user will also need to refer back to input data to understand why the results occur across the landscape area.

Total Carbon Storage adds the two carbon storage layers together. As the above & below ground carbon storage layers indicate the range of carbon storage values in tonnes of carbon per hectare (t C Ha-1 ). At a local scale (e.g. 1:50 000). They are presented as a series of raster datasets for use in GIS Systems at a resolution of 25m2.
Each 25m2 has a carbon total form the layers and these are added together spatially to create the total carbon layer in tonnes of carbon per hectare (t C Ha-1 ) NE PHI/ Ancient Woodland - OGL

Spatial Prioritisation of Above Ground Carbon Storage 2023 (England)

These spatial datasets consider the lands contribution to preventing and mitigating climate change, through storage of carbon in the Vegetation (above ground). This above Ground Carbon spatial datasets represent a strategic resource for England, that indicate the range of carbon storage values in tonnes of carbon per hectare (t C Ha-1 ). At a local scale (e.g. 1:50 000). They are presented as a series of raster datasets for use in GIS Systems at a resolution of 25m2. These maps will assist users to find out where the most important carbon stores in vegetation in their areas. They are not suitable for field scale carbon mitigation as this would require field scale carbon assessment.

Three data component layers were collated together to form a continuous habitat data layer for England using the best, freely available information on habitat types. these were: The National Forest Inventory (2016);The single layer priority habitat dataset (various dated); Living England habitat map from satellite imagery (2020).
From the collation, each habitat type was scored in terms of the likely carbon they would store above ground (t carbon/ Ha). These data were taken form a very wide range of scientific studies but largely built on Carbon Storage and Sequestration by Habitat 2021 (NERR094). Where slopes are very steep (greater than 18o) then the habitat classes which are identified by their tree species were score slightly lower, this is because they tend to have thinner soils and support less growth of the tree above the ground. Where woodland is long established or manged for nature a slight enhancing of scoring was given, with locations taken from ancient woodland data (10% uplift) and the protected site data (10% uplift) including SSSI, SAV, LNR and NNR.

SSSI Impact Risk Zones (England)

The Impact Risk Zones for Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI IRZs) are for local planning authorities (LPAs) to determine if a proposed development is likely to affect a terrestrial SSSI and when to consult Natural England.

The SSSI IRZs are a Geographical Information System (GIS) tool developed by Natural England to make rapid initial assessment of the potential risks posed by development proposals to SSSIs and those Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Special Protection Areas (SPAs) or Ramsar sites that they underpin. They define zones around each site which reflect the sensitivities of the features for which the site is notified and indicate the types of development proposal which could potentially have adverse impacts and need further consideration. In certain locations they also include Natural England's statutory advice for certain development types.

LPAs can use the SSSI IRZs to consider if a proposed development is likely to affect a terrestrial SSSI and those SACs, SPAs or Ramsar sites that they underpin and when to consult Natural England to seek advice.  Where the SSSI IRZs include Natural England's statutory advice or indicate a risk is unlikely, LPAs can use the SSSI IRZs to instantly generate a formal consultation response.
