1. INTRODUCTION
Purpose Of The Management Plan
1.1 The purpose of this landscape and ecological management plan is as follows:
• To ensure that clear objectives for the public open space landscaped areas
within the Wider Green Infrastructure of Frenchay Hospital are agreed and
laid down;
• To ensure that the ecological interest of the site is protected in the long-
term.
Planning Background
1.2 This Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) has been produced to
support the Reserved Matters application for the Wider Green Infrastructure of
the Frenchay Development.
1.3 This LEMP is written in accordance with the approved LEMP, (ref. R.0395_01F)
produced in order to discharge planning condition 17 in relation to the planning
application (Application number: PT13/0002/O).
Management Aims
1.4 The main aims for the Wider Green Infrastructure landscape management and
maintenance are:
• To ensure that hard and soft landscape areas are fit for purpose and do
not pose a health and safety hazard to the public;
• To offer recreational space for residents and locals, whilst meeting the
needs of wildlife;
• To ensure provision and connectivity for wildlife within and between new
and existing habitats;
1.5 Note: refer to the Arboricultural Management Plan produced to discharge the
planning conditions associated with the Lime Avenue (by Pegasus, October 2015)
for comments upon the cyclical re-pollarding and epicormic growth removal to the
trees within the Lime Avenue.
Timings
1.6 The management and maintenance tasks set out in this plan are to be
undertaken by a landscape maintenance contractor once construction works are
complete.
1.7 During demolition all existing landscape features to be retained will be protected
using tree protection fencing as shown on the Tree Protection Plan. This will
ensure that the landscape features to be retained, including any sensitive areas,
will be protected from damage during demolition.
1.8 Any tree works required prior to demolition will be as set out in the Arboricultural
Method Statement.
Funding
1.9 The maintenance of the landscape features detailed within this LEMP will be
supported as agreed within the S106 through contributions paid by the developer
and Parish Council contributions where relevant (eg. Croquet and Cricket Pitch).
Review
1.10 This document is based on the detailed wider green infrastructure landscape
proposals submitted as part of the RM application and should be seen as an
operational guide, subject to change and improvement as the different landscape
features mature and develop. We recommend that this management plan is
reviewed and republished at five yearly intervals to ensure the management aims
are still required and relevant.
2. SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1 The Wider Green Infrastructure landscape proposals are located along the north
east, eastern and southern boundary.
2.2 Henceforth the Wider Green Infrastructure landscape proposals will be referred to
as ‘the site’ within this document.
2.3 The existing landscape framework within the site typically comprises: retained
parkland trees, historic or otherwise, in particular a mature lime avenue; retained
woodland planting along the north-east and eastern boundaries; and an area of
open parkland south and east of the lime avenue. The majority of the existing
tree planting will be retained and supplemented with additional tree planting.
2.4 Recreational facilities will be provided within the southern area of retained green
space, as per the Public Open Space Measurements Plan (Appendix 2). These will
include two tennis courts (relocated), a croquet lawn, a two lane petanque pitch
and a cricket pitch.
2.5 A large equipped area for play will be located at the western end of the southern
portion of the site.
2.6 The retention of the southern line of the lime avenue within the site, a historic
feature, will enable a significant element of the landscape framework to be
retained. The avenue will be managed to clear undergrowth and allow the
remaining trees space to grow. Management of the retained and new planting
associated with the lime avenue must be undertaken as per the Arboriculture
Management Plan relating to discharge of conditions associated with a Lime Tree
Avenue at a Former Hospital Site, produced by Pegasus Oct 2015.
2.7 Features that provide the highest ecological value on the site will endeavour to be
retained as the design progresses from outline to detailed design. These include:
woodland habitats; boundary parkland grassland and trees; and the woodland
belt along the north-east boundary, which supports a main badger sett.
2.8 Below are the landscape enhancements and features which are included in the
Wider Green Infrastructure detailed landscape proposals:
• Retain existing access routes through open spaces with appropriate hard
surfacing;
2.9 In addition to habitat retention and enhancement, the scheme will include the
creation of hibernacula within woodland habitats from deadwood and log piles, as
well as the installation of new bat roosting and bird nesting features on retained
trees.
Exclusions
2.10 As previously discussed, the management of the Lime Tree Avenue is considered
within the Arboriculture Management Plan (produced by Pegasus Oct 2015)
submitted to discharge the relevant planning conditions associated with a Lime
Tree Avenue at a Former Hospital Site and is not included within this LEMP.
3. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
3.1 This section details the environmental considerations that need to be taken into
account in order to enable a full landscape and ecology management strategy for
the site.
Horticultural Peat
3.2 Horticultural peat is not to be used as mulch on any beds or as a soil conditioner,
and wherever possible plants grown without peat will be preferred to those grown
in peat.
Recycled Materials
3.3 Where appropriate use should be made of materials made from recycled
components, e.g. wood chip mulch.
Pesticides/Herbicides
3.4 The existing pond and it’s margin is to be maintained with the minimum use of
any chemicals to control weeds or pests. Weed control of areas of transplant tree
and shrub planting is to be achieved by using mulch mats and hand weeding. The
control of invasive and pernicious weeds can be carried out with targeted
applications of glyphosate-based herbicides.
Water Management
3.5 Where necessary maintenance staff are to water plants at appropriate times of
the day to ensure minimum water evaporation. If appropriate and available,
recycled water should be used, e.g. from rainwater harvesting.
Habitat Management
3.7 Ivy should be removed where it is growing into tree canopies and causing
arboricultural concern, or where it is causing reduced light levels and affecting the
success of the woodland ground flora. Any ivy to be removed shall be inspected
by an Ecologist prior to the works to ensure no roosting or hibernating bats are
present.
4. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
4.1 All trees and shrubs shall be checked at each maintenance visit for damage,
security, firmness, fixing and support.
4.2 Any new shrubs, hedges or trees which fail1 to shall be replaced annually with the
same variety at the size specified on the original landscape planting plans. Trees
and shrubs should be checked in September and marked with paint, or noted on
a plan, as necessary. Replacements will be planted during the following planting
season. If a particular species fails to establish successfully then an alternative,
comparable species should be considered as replacement, in agreement with the
landscape consultant and the LPA.
4.3 Amenity bark mulch shall be topped up annually to a depth of 75mm where there
is bare soil in planted areas. To avoid accidentally damaging plants herbicides will
not be used to control weeds once foliage covers 75% of the ground surface.
4.4 There will also be a 1m diameter circle of mulch around trees in grass in order to
suppress grass and weed growth and minimise the risk of mower/strimmer
damage.
4.5 All root protection areas of retained trees will be kept free from disturbance e.g. a
rotavator will not be used in these areas.
4.6 Care should be taken not to overwater trees. Until well established all new shrubs
and trees are to be watered during the growing season following any dry periods
of 7 days. Planting areas are to be brought up to field capacity at each visit and
each tree is to receive 40 litres or as required. Care should be taken to ensure
applied water is absorbed into the rootzone and does not run off the surface.
4.7 Following the initial growing season soil water will be assessed in the root zone of
trees when there has been no rain for 14 days. Trees will then be watered if
required.
4.8 No pruning works to trees, hedgerows or shrubs are to be undertaken during the
general bird-nesting season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works
are essential for public safety. Essential works outside of this time period should
be subject to checks by an Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
1
Note - The S106 requires the POS to be maintained in perpetuity, therefore does not limit the
time period for the planting of replacements.
4.9 All tree surgery work is to be carried out to BS 3998:2010 Tree Work -
Recommendations, and should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and
competent contractor. If tree works are required, a suitably qualified Ecologist
should be contacted to advise on bat roosting suitability, and a pre-works survey
may be required. Future tree works to trees covered by a TPO may be subject to
TPO applications to be submitted to the LPA.
4.10 It is recommended that all new and existing planting on site be subject to on-
going management according to ecological principles to maximise the value of
these habitats to wildlife. Such an approach will involve minimised use of
pesticides and vegetation pruning works to take place outside of the bird nesting
season.
4.11 If required, a separate tree protection scheme will ensure that the retained trees
are not damaging during the construction process.
4.12 If it is found that any trees to be retained have been damaged a process of
assessment by a suitably qualified Arboriculturist and ongoing monitoring to
assess their condition will be undertaken.
5. MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATION
Retained Trees
Management Aim
• To prolong the life and enhance the aesthetic and wildlife value of the
existing trees.
Management Objectives
• To maintain the health and visual amenity of retained trees;
5.2 All tree surgery work is to be carried out to BS 3998:2010 Tree Work -
Recommendations, and should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and
competent contractor. If tree works are required, a suitably qualified ecologist
should be contacted to advise on bat roosting suitability, and a pre-works survey
may be required.
5.3 Where suitable, deadwood taken from tree pruning will be retained in situ and
woodpiles will be created using cut materials from tree management works.
5.4 Hygiene works will be avoided, for example, fungal fruiting bodies should not be
removed nor trees felled unless classified as dangerous. Where a tree poses a
health and safety hazard, advice will be sought from a qualified Arboriculturalist.
5.5 No pruning works to trees are to be undertaken during the general bird-nesting
season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works are essential for public
safety. Essential works outside of this time period should be subject to checks by
an Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
5.6 All root protection areas of retained trees will be kept free from disturbance e.g.
no rotavation will take place in these areas.
5.7 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 1 for the Retained Trees Management Table.
Retained Woodland
Management Aim
• To maintain and enhance existing woodland habitats on the site for the
benefit of wildlife;
Management Objectives
• To maintain the health and visual amenity of retained woodland;
5.8 No pruning works to trees or shrubs are to be undertaken during the general
bird-nesting season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works are
essential for public safety. Essential works outside of this time period should be
subject to checks by an Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
5.10 In the year following any initial works, as set out by the Arboriculturalist,
selective thinning of the retained woodland will take place to encourage diversity
ground flora and varied age structure. Exact details of thinning works will be
confirmed following the initial detailed survey of woodland areas.
5.11 During the initial survey the trees will be inspected for defects and poor health. If
an Arboriculturalist identifies any trees as diseased or a health and safety risk,
then necessary remedial works will be carried out as soon as possible.
Consultation with the Ecologist with regards to potential for roosting bats will be
undertaken prior to any action being taken. Following the initial inspection, a
qualified Arboriculturalist will assess the necessary timescales for on-going
inspections for defects and poor health, typically at three yearly intervals.
5.12 Any exposed cavities, hanging and fallen dead wood (which does not pose a
health and safety risk or block public access routes) will be retained in situ to
provide valuable habitat for bats, birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates
5.13 Annual monitoring surveys will take place by a qualified Ecologist to identify any
non-native invasive species required for removal.
5.14 In certain areas of the retained woodland, where important ecological habitats
are located or for areas allocated for nature conservation, pedestrian access will
be discouraged. Where frequent pedestrian access is noted within these sensitive
areas (i.e. where paths are developing), additional planting of shrub species will
be implemented to discourage access. This may then require temporary fencing
until shrub/understorey planting is established enough to form a barrier.
5.16 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 2 for the Retained Woodland Management Table and
to the Woodland Management Plan produced by Barton Hyett Associates
(reference R2114_WMP_June2017)
Management Objectives
• To maintain the coppiced trees to ensure their on-going health and
longevity;
• To encourage the biodiversity value of the woodland floor fauna and flora;
• To keep coppice woodland areas free from litter and other waste.
5.18 Coppicing will allow light back to the woodland floor and encourage a greater
diversity of woodland ground flora and fauna. By managing the woodland at
different stages of regrowth, slightly different ecosystems are established.
5.19 It is recommended that coppicing take place during the dormant winter months,
i.e. from December to March. No pruning works are to be undertaken during the
general bird-nesting season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works
are essential for public safety. Essential works outside of this time period should
be subject to checks by an Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
5.20 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 3 for the Retained Coppice Areas Management Table.
Retained Scrub
Management Aim
• To manage the existing areas of scrub to maximise biodiversity and
habitat value.
Management Objective
• To maintain the retained scrub to ensure their on-going health and
longevity;
5.21 An initial review will be undertaken of the existing areas of scrub to establish the
current level of management. Using this information a regime of rotational cutting
will be established, with 20% of the scrub being cut back every third year. When
cutting, avoid creating access routes.
5.22 Adjacent patches of scrub should not be cut sequentially, as this reduces the
foliage available for invertebrates to feed on.
5.23 Edges should be cut as a scalloped edge between scrub and adjacent low
vegetation (e.g. grass/shrub/tree stands).
5.24 It is recommended that cutting of scrub take place during the dormant winter
months, i.e. from December to March. No pruning works are to be undertaken
during the general bird-nesting season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive.
5.25 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 4 for the Retained Scrub Management Table.
Retained Pond
Management Aim
• To maintain the pond and associated marginal / aquatic planting as a safe
and attractive landscape feature with ecological value.
Management Objectives
• To maintain the pond in a safe and attractive condition;
5.27 Additional planting of appropriate aquatic and marginal plant species will take
place to increase the biodiversity of the pond whilst retaining a habitat of
ecological value, refer to Appendix 1 for the Pond Enhancement Proposals plan
(drawing reference R0395_16).
5.28 The management of the pond should ensure a safe and attractive water feature
whilst maintaining biodiversity value.
5.29 Any maintenance of the existing pond will be undertaken between October and
February to avoid impacts on amphibians using these features for breeding and to
lie outside of the general bird-nesting season.
5.30 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 5 for the Retained Pond Management Table.
Management Objectives
• To maintain newly planted trees to ensure good survival rate and
development;
5.31 An annual Quantified Tree Risk Assessment of all trees will be carried out by a
qualified Arboriculturist and any necessary remedial works carried out as soon as
possible. All arisings shall be removed from site.
5.32 All tree work should be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 (or any
subsequent updates). New tree management and maintenance and any
replacement tree planting should be carried out in accordance with BS
8545:2014.
5.33 Tree stakes and ties will be regularly checked during the establishment period
and adjusted as necessary to ensure that the developing trees are not damaged.
Stakes and ties will be removed by the landscape maintenance contractor at the
earliest opportunity (between year 3 and year 5) when he considers that the
trees are self supporting. All stakes and ties will be removed from site to a legal
disposal facility.
5.34 There will be a minimal pruning policy for trees as pruning wounds can provide a
source of infection. Formative pruning of new trees will be carried out to remove
dead and diseased wood and to create a well-balanced tree with a single leader.
Clear stems of 2 metres will be maintained by rubbing off any shoots and when
the trees reach 5 to 6 metres high lower branches will be removed to give a clear
stem height of approximately 2.4 metres.
5.35 No pruning works are to be undertaken during the general bird-nesting season of
1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works are essential for public safety.
Essential tree works outside of this time period should be subject to checks by an
Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
5.36 If trees die the reason for death shall be investigated and addressed before
replanting a replacement. If death is due to the planting conditions these shall be
ameliorated. If death is due to pests or disease and likely to be present in the
future a resistant species or an alternative similar tree shall be selected.
5.37 Where trees have become moribund due to compaction or lack of nutrients soil
aeration techniques and the use of inoculants shall be considered.
5.38 Care should be taken not to overwater trees, the soil water will be assessed in
the root zone of the trees when there has been no rain for 14 days. Trees will be
watered if required. Once established (i.e. after 2 to 3 years) trees should not
require watering.
5.39 All newly planted trees over 1.5m high will be held so that movement at the root
collar is minimised until new roots have developed to anchor the tree. Trees will
establish anchor roots better, increase stem girth and form a better stem taper if
it is allowed to move in the wind (whilst remaining firmly fixed at ground level).
Therefore, low staking (75mm dia x 1.5m length) will be used and attached to the
tree at approximately 600mm above ground level. The trees will be staked using
proprietary rubber ties and must be firmly fixed with a spacing device to prevent
chafing against the tree.
5.40 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 6 for the New Tree Planting Management Table.
Amenity Grass, Long Species Rich Grass, Wildflower Meadow and Bulbs
Management Aim
• For amenity grass areas to present visible indication of high quality,
regular site maintenance;
• For the long species rich grass / wildflower meadow grass and bulb areas
to be maintained as attractive landscape features with high ecological
value.
Management Objectives
• To maintain amenity grass and long species rich grass areas at specified
height;
• To allow bulbs areas to flower each year and to enhance species richness
by maintaining a local seed base;
• To increase the floristic diversity of these areas, and manage for benefit to
wildlife; and
5.42 In preparing grass areas it will be ensured that root protection areas of retained
trees will be kept free from disturbance e.g. no rotavation will take place in these
areas.
5.43 Amenity grass areas shall have a well kept appearance at all times and shall be
regularly cut per annum to maintain a height of between 25 and 65mm. Long
species rich grass shall be cut less regularly to maintain a height of 100-150mm,
cutting will be suspended from late May to late July/early August to allow species
to flower and seed.
5.44 Arisings shall be swept from hard surfaces adjacent to amenity grass / long
species rich grass areas after each visit.
5.45 Junctions between amenity grass or long species rich grass areas and plant beds
and hard surfaces shall be regularly edged and trimmed to maintain a neat and
tidy appearance. In order to avoid damage to trees in amenity grass areas / long
species rich grass areas no mower or strimmer will be allowed within 1 metre of a
tree trunk.
5.46 Litter shall be hand picked and bagged from all grass areas prior to cutting. Bags
shall be removed from site and legally disposed of.
5.47 Areas of failed grass shall be prepared and re-sown with the specified seed mix
either in April or September.
5.48 Long species rich grassland will be established using an appropriate seed mix
suitable for regular mowing, an example of which is Emorsgate’s ‘General Purpose
Meadow Grassland Mixture’ EG1, but alternatives from other suppliers may be
acceptable. No herbicide shall be used on longer grassland areas to allow species
richness and to encourage wildflowers.
5.49 Wildflower meadow will be established using an appropriate wildflower seed mix,
an example of which is EW1 – Woodland Mixture by Emorsgate, but alternatives
from other suppliers may be acceptable.
5.50 The wildflower grassland to along the north eastern boundary will be cut on a
rotational basis, creating a varied sward structure and diversity of micro-climate
conditions that will benefit invertebrates. A single cut will be undertaken in late
August/September to ensure that the main flowering and seeding period is
avoided. All arisings will be removed from these areas following the cut. To the
southern boundary the wildflower grassland areas will be cut as a whole, with a
single cut as per the north eastern boundary.
5.51 For croquet lawn and cricket pitch grass maintenance refer to the following
section.
5.52 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 7 for the Amenity Grass, Long Species Rich Grass,
Wildflower Meadow and Bulbs Management Table.
Management Objectives
• To maintain grass of croquet lawn and cricket pitch;
• To keep croquet lawn and cricket pitch free from litter and other waste;
5.53 If weeds, pests or diseases are evident, herbicides and pesticides should only be
applied according to manufacturer’s recommendations, and by qualified personnel
holding the relevant certificate issued by the National Proficiency Test Council
(NPTC).
5.54 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 8 for the Croquet Lawn and Cricket Pitch
Management Table.
Management Objectives
• To maintain newly planted shrubs, herbaceous and ground cover to ensure
a good survival rate and development;
5.55 Formative pruning will be kept to a minimum but where necessary diseased and
damaged wood will be removed. Where shrubs overhang path edges they will be
neatly clipped back in order to maintain the full width of pedestrian access routes.
5.56 Planting beds will be checked regularly throughout the growing season for pests
and diseases and treated as necessary. If a particular plant becomes subject to a
fatal pest or disease it shall be replaced by an alternative resistant plant with a
similar form and habit, if approved by the LPA.
5.57 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 9 for the Ornamental Planting Management Table.
Management Objective
• To maintain the play / recreational equipment and the ball stop net in a
safe and viable state which ensures freedom from unacceptable risk.
5.58 All play equipment, both formal and informal, and the ball stop net will be
inspected annually by a qualified independent specialist (e.g. RoSPA) to identify
any obvious hazards. All formal pieces of play equipment will undergo frequent
checks to ensure the equipment is safe and fit for purpose. The high-quality
appearance of the equipment will be maintained through maintenance inspections
with work undertaken as required.
5.59 Whilst annual inspection is not mandatory law, Section 3 of the Health and Safety
at Work Act 1974 states that a risk assessment must be carried out on all
playgrounds.
5.60 Installation, inspection maintenance and operation of play equipment and safety
surfacing must adhere to BS EN 1176 and BS 7188. Routine and operational
inspection must be carried out as per the manufacturers recommendation and
according to the risk assessment.
5.61 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 10 for the Play Equipment Management Table.
Management Objectives
• To keep paths, paved areas, petanque pitch and tennis courts free of
debris, litter, graffiti & dog faeces;
• To maintain paths, paved areas, petanque pitch and tennis courts in safe
condition;
5.62 Hard areas and elements will be regularly checked for subsidence, damage and
wear and will be repaired / topped-up at the earliest opportunity using the
original specified material. Areas where damage poses a hazard to pedestrians
shall be cordoned off with bollards and high visibility tape until repair can be
actioned.
5.63 Painted and stained surfaces shall be checked at five yearly intervals. Where
necessary surfaces shall be prepared and repainted/stained using the same
product to maintain the integrity of the original design.
5.64 A “no tolerance” policy will apply to graffiti which shall be removed as soon as it
appears and where necessary specialist contractors shall be employed to carry
out this work.
5.65 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 11 for the Hard Landscape Management Table.
Invasive Species
Management Aim
• To eradicate invasive species.
Management Objectives
• To control and prevent the spread of invasive species.
5.66 The control of invasive species, such as False Virginia Creeper and Cotoneasters,
within the site to ensure that they cannot be spread throughout the site or to
adjacent land.
5.67 For a list of what is classed as an invasive species refer to invasive species like
under Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1982 (as amended).
5.68 The removal of these species from the site would contribute to the national aims
and objectives of preventing, reducing and eliminating the impacts from these
species in the UK.
5.69 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 12 for the Invasive Species Management Table.
