Conditions of data use
The data may not be copied to third parties, published in any form, placed on the internet or supplied to the recipient’s client without written permission from DBRC except in the circumstances given below. Reports which include the data supplied by DBRC may be provided to the recipient’s client and to consultees provided that:
Full acknowledgement is given in the report to DBRC and, where appropriate, the original recorders.
Any specific copyright conditions attached to the data, including Crown Copyright, must be strictly adhered to.
The data supplied by DBRC is not amended in any way.
The data must not be entered on a computerised database or Geographical Information System without written permission from DBRC. The data are supplied for the purpose of informing a short-term case, study or research project and are not intended for storage by the recipient for future use.
Permission to use data expires 12 months after approval. Applications to extend beyond this period should be made at least one month before the expiry date.
The copyright of records supplied is retained by DBRC or the original recorders.
As well as incidental records and records from consultants, our data search includes data from: the Botanical Society for the British Isles (BSBI); British Dragonfly society; Butterfly Conservation; Cetacean recording network; Devon Bird Watching and Preservation Society (only 2001, 2006 records at moment), Devon Mammal Group; Devon Reptile and Amphibian Group; Devon Moth group; Devon Wildlife Trust nature reserves; Environment Agency (fish and invertebrate records); Natural England (bat records); Seasearch and the MNCR database; Seawatch foundation. Please note we do not hold information for the Devon Bat Group (http://devonbatgroup.org/ ) or Devon Invertebrate Forum. For more information on the species records we hold, see our website http://www.dbrc.org.uk/species-datasets/.
This data search has been undertaken using data held by DBRC at the time of the enquiry. The data held by DBRC does not represent complete coverage of species or habitats present within the county, so an absence of data for an area does not imply there are no important habitats or species present.
No biodiversity newtwork sites have been identified within you search area
Statutory Sites:
There are no statutory within your seach area
Non-Statutory Sites:
County Wildlife Sites (CWS): these are sites of county importance for wildlife, designated on the basis of the habitat or the known presence of particular species. This is not a statutory designation like SSSIs, and does not have any legal status. The National Planning Policy framework (NPPF) requires local authorities to identify and map locally designated sites of biodiversity importance (such as County Wildlife Sites) as part of the Local Plan process and to draw up criteria based policies against which proposals for development affecting them will be judged. CWS recognition does not demand any particular actions on the part of the Landowner and does not give the public rights of access. However, it may increase eligibility for land management grants.
Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites (RIGS): these are earth science sites that are of regional or local importance. Like CWS, they are included in Local Plans and referred to under NPPF.
Other Sites:
Other Sites of Wildlife Interest (OSWI): these are sites of significant wildlife interest within a local context that have been surveyed but do not reach the criteria for County Wildlife Sites. They are not covered by NPPF, but may be included in Local Plans. OSWIs used to be called Local Wildlife Sites (LWS). They are not present in all Districts; there are no OSWIs in Torridge, for example.
Unconfirmed Wildlife Sites (UWS): these are sites identified as having possible interest but not fully surveyed. Some of these sites will be areas of significant wildlife interest. The UWS dataset may also contain Proposed County Wildlife Sites (pCWS): these are usually sites that have been surveyed but are awaiting consideration from the CWS Designation Panel, or sites that have been surveyed at an unfavorable time of year and are awaiting a re-survey.
Barn Owls There are barn owl records within your search area. Many of these records come from the Barn Owl Trust, and only have a four-figure grid reference. To get more detailed information on the location, and to find out more information on these records (e.g. if they are records of breeding barn owls) please contact the Barn Owl Trust on (01364) 653026 or e-mail info@barnowltrust.org.uk
NERC 41 NERC Act (2006) Section 41: Species listed under Section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (2006). These are the species found in England which have been identified as requiring action under the UK BAP. All local authorities and other public authorities in England and Wales have a duty to promote and enhance biodiversity in all of their functions.
WCA 5 Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) Schedule 5: species protected against killing, injury, disturbance and handling.
WCA 5 (S) Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) Schedule 5: (sale): species protected against sale only.
WCA 5 (KIS) Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) Schedule 5: (killing & injury): species protected against killing, injury and sale only.
WCA 6 Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) Schedule 6: animals (other than birds) which may not be killed or taken by certain methods.
BA Protection of Badgers Act 1992: badgers may not be deliberately killed, persecuted or trapped except under licence. Badger setts may not be damaged, destroyed or obstructed.
DA Deer Act 1991: deer protected under the Deer Act.
Bern I Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention) Appendix I: Special protection for listed plant species and their habitats.
Bern II Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention) Appendix II: Special protection for listed animal species and their habitats.
Bern III Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention) Appendix III: Exploitation of listed animal species to be subject to regulation.
ECIIa, IIb EC Directive on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (Habitats & Species Directive) Annex IIa and IIb: Designation of protected areas for animal and plant species listed.
Bonn I Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (Bonn Convention) Appendix I: Strict protection provided for endangered migratory species and their habitats listed under Appendix 1.
Bonn II Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (Bonn Convention) Appendix II: Range states encouraged to conclude international agreements to benefit species listed.
UKBAP(P) UK Priority Species (Short and Middle Lists - UK Biodiversity steering Group Report 1995) i.e. species that are globally threatened and rapidly declining in the UK (by more than 50% in the last 25 years). Has a Species Action Plan.
DBAP Devon Biodiversity Action Plan species: these have been identified as species of key conservation concern in Devon.
Devon Notable Species: Selected species recorded from over 50 2km squares in the Atlas of Devon Flora 1984 (R.B. Ivimey-Cook, Department of Biological Sciences, The University of Exeter).
DN1 Devon Notable 1: 1-25 2 km squares in Atlas of Devon Flora 1984.
DN2 Devon Notable 2: 26-50 2 km squares in Atlas of Devon Flora 1984.
DN3 Devon Notable 3: Selected species recorded from over 50 2 km squares in Atlas of Devon Flora 1984.
Na Nationally Notable A: known from 30 or fewer 10km squares. Taken from the Invertebrate Site Register.
Nb Nationally Notable B: known from 100 or fewer 10km squares. Taken from the Invertebrate Site Register.
Decline Substantial local decline in Devon.
Red List Bird species of high conservation concern, such as those whose population or range is rapidly declining, recently or historically, and those of global conservation concern.
Amber List Bird species of medium conservation concern, such as those whose population is in moderate decline, rare breeders, internationally important and localised species and those of unfavourable conservation status in Europe.
VUL A taxon is Vulnerable when the best available evidence indicates that it meets any of the criteria A to E for Vulnerable (see Red List Categories and Criteria booklet for details), and it is therefore considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
