Action Point 8 AS(A)13 Land adjacent to Junction 38 (M4) Margam Strategic Employment Site - the Council to provide a map showing extent of the C2 flood zone on site, and any information relating to biodiversity / habitats / ecology produced for the site as part of their on-going SINC review. Council’s Response Development Advice Map (2015) The appended DAM (2015) indicates that the allocation at Junction 38 (M4), Margam includes small areas that are within Zone C2. The Council considers however that these areas can readily be excluded from the developed area. The land immediately to the west of the allocated site is heavily constrained by Zone C2. Biodiversity Habitats within the Allocated Site [EC1/2] The allocated site largely excludes the important wet habitats to the west and is dominated by improved grasslands. Notwithstanding this point, the site does include patches of BAP/S42 woodland and hedges that provide connectivity to the wet woodland habitat to the west. The Council considers that these habitats could be retained and connectivity improved as part of any development within this allocation.

Land to the West of the Allocation identified as a SINC The western area outside the extent of the allocated site supports a complex of wetland habitats. This type of complex is rare in Neath Port Talbot, with the only other known good quality example found at Crymlyn Bog Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Smaller areas of wet woodland are located elsewhere in the County Borough but not to the same extent as in this location or in such interesting combination with other wetland habitat types. Furthermore, the habitat complex also supports various BAP/S42 and protected species such as reptiles, water vole and otter. The ditch system in this area is also a key element of the complex, which forms part of a larger system that includes Margam Moors Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The Council’s Biodiversity Unit has confirmed that the majority of land to the west of the allocation meets criteria for a ‘Site of Importance for Nature Conservation’ (SINC) – NPTSINC057 Junction 38 Wetland Complex1. Part of the habitat complex adjacent to the national grid substation is covered by a S106 for management as a nature reserve by the Wildlife Trust, to potentially come into force on construction of a new substation. The wet woodland and ancient woodland at this location are considered to be irreplaceable and not possible to re-create due to the complexities of the hydrology requirements of this habitat. Consequently, previous planning applications / development have tried to avoid encroachment into such habitat as far as possible2. An ‘Ecological Constraints Plan’ is appended for information. A Biodiversity Records Centre Search has also been undertaken which details the species recorded within the vicinity of the site3.

1 Full details of NPTSINC057 - Junction 38 Wetland Complex is provided in the appended proforma. 2 As an example, the area of wet woodland to the north of the existing Biomass Power Plant was required to be retained and enhanced as part of the planning consent. 3 Full details of the ‘South East Wales Biodiversity Records Centre Site Assessment Report’ are appended for information.

Junction 38 Wetland complex

Site of Interest for Nature Conservation

Site Description: This is a cohesive wetland site comprised of wet woodland, reed beds, ditches, and marshy grassland. Some drier areas support indicators of the neutral grassland NVC type MG5. Much is known about this site because it been included in several planning applications over recent years. The site is located to the rear of Port Talbot Steelworks near Junction 38 of the M4 motorway. Margam Moors SSSI is approx 800m south west of the site, and is fairly well connected by the network of drains and ditches in the area. Eglwys Nunydd SSSI is about 750m directly south of the site and is designated due to the waterfowl populations it supports and as a SINC (NPTSINC056) it additionally includes the surrounding wetland and scrub habitats. The area is very wet but is occasionally grazed by cattle. There is a National Grid substation directly west of the site and high voltage power lines cross the site in several directions; resilience clearance works are undertaken under these pylons on a fairly regular basis.

Features recorded at this site leading to SINC selection: A semi‐natural woodland with a wet woodland component, Fen habitat, A species‐rich example of marshy grassland

Protected and Priority species: Species recorded: Arvicola amphibious (Water vole), Lutra lutra (Otter), Natrix natrix (Grass snake), Lacerta vivipara (Common lizard), Emberiza schoeniclus (Reed bunting), Cettia cetti (Cetti’s warbler) Habitat suitable for: Other species of note:

Recommendations for management of the site: The western field is due to be managed by the Wildlife Trust as part of a package related to the proposed development of fields to the north. There is Rhododendron in the wet woodland which should be eradicated.

Please note: This area has been designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council. This does not formally protect the site or place any restrictions upon the landowner. Neath Port Talbot Council’s Countryside & Wildlife Team will endeavour to support and encourage activities that maintain and enhance the biodiversity interest of the land; where funding is available, funds may be provided to facilitate these activities. The information given is used to ensure that nature conservation is taken into account in planning decisions. The designation itself does not confer any rights of access to the site and places no restriction on the management of the land. Surveyor Various Author ER

Notes The distances reported do not represent the absolute distance between the record and the candidate site boundary, but instead indicate that the record is within the given distance of the

boundary. This is done to prevent an inappropriate implied accuracy in the spatial distribution of records. Records with 4 figure grid references may be picked up if part of the search buffer intersects the square to which that record refers. The distances calculated for these records refer to the central point of

that square, and should not be interpreted as the actual distance to the observation. Records that should be considered to be sensitive under CCW’s guidelines have been highlighted in yellow.
