2.0 Heritage Area 2.1 History of the area in close proximity to the site Barlow Hall One of the biggest landmarks in the surrounding proximity is Barlow Hall. There has been a dwelling situated on the site of Barlow Hall for over 800 years. The earliest dwelling was probably timber-built and was possibly situated near to the River Mersey for protection, fortification and transport purposes. Roger, or Robert de Barlow, knight living during the reign of Saxon King Edward 1 (1272 - 1307) founded the eminent Catholic Barlow family and Barlow Hall continued to be the family home of the Barlow family for a further 500 years. This building is now the Chorlton-cum-hardy Golf Club Clubhouse. 2.2 History of the surrounding area Hough End Hall Sundial A sundial dating back to 1574 sits on the north wall of the quadrangle bearing a motto. The motto reads: “Lumen me regit, vos umbra” which translates to “I am guided by the sun, you by the shade”. Chorlton Chorlton-cum-Hardy is a suburban area of the City of Manchester, known locally as Chorlton. During the last half of the nineteenth century Chorlton changed from a rural village, where people farmed the land, to a Manchester suburb. There were working farms around the Green until just before the beginning of the twentieth century. Chorlton Station Chorlton was a typical example of what was beginning to happen to many rural communities. The coming of the railway in 1880 made it possible for people to commute quickly into the heart of the city and encouraged the key landowners to sell off land to meet the new housing demand. Chorlton Station produced the New Village; many people were now able to make it home in time for dinner. In little over twenty years after the arrival of the railway in Chorlton most of the farming land to the north of Chorlton Cross had been built over. The employment profile reflected this change. In 1861 52% of the working population were still engaged in agricultural work but by 1881 this was down to 25%. The Chorlton-cum-Hardy station was, however, closed in January 1967, but re-opened in July 2011 as the Chorlton Metro link Station. Southern Cemetery The Southern Cemetery opened in 1879 and is situated on Barlow Moor Road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy. The Cemetery is the largest in the UK, containing beautiful gardens and six grade 2 listed buildings including four chapels. The Cemetery is the final resting place for many great Mancunians. This includes: Sir John Alcock who piloted the first non- stop transatlantic flight; Phillip Baybutt, a US Civil War Medal of Honour winner; Sir Matt Busby, the former Manchester United manager; and John Rylands, a great entrepreneur and philanthropist. Hough End Hall Hough End Hall was built in 1596 by Sir Nicholas Mosely. The hall was constructed using Elizabethan architecture and was therefore built to last; the hall is now situated in the township of Withington but holds great local interest to Chorlton. The hall is a picturesque 3 story brick building that has undergone additions and changes over time. Hough End Hall was used as a family home for the Mosely family for centuries before being turned into and used as a farm house during the 19th century. The hall for a while was known for the peacocks that roamed its grounds. Today however, there are only some people that still speak fondly of the peacocks. 2.3 Description of area The heritage area is located to the north at one of the main entrances to the site. Within this area we wanted to encourage people to think about the history of Barlow Hall and Chorlton through the use of Sculptures, Murals and by reinstating the original brick Archway Entrance and relocating the Steel Archway that was used to replace the original one to the other end of the heritage area. The idea behind this is to create a walk through time. The other main features are the Heritage gardens which were created to encourage people consider how gardens were used to grow plants for use in cooking and medicines. We did the design work for these gardens by working with pupils from the four local Primary schools - and asking children to do an individual plan for the Herb garden and climbing plants We then we went through the plans to look at the designs and plants chosen and went with the majority for the four individual gardens within the area. 2.4 Development Matrix Action How Resources Timescale 2018 Review Heritage Area Welcome & information Install welcome signs Funded from To be completed Completed signs. with maps, guidance of Environment Team by May 2016. use and contact budget as well as information for actively looking for Southway Housing funding Trust.

The games that have been selected to create play space are historical games to encourage intergeneration activities, continuing the historical theme through-out the design of the site whilst still providing appropriate play space. As part of the consultation process, people were concerned about play space so the design has been considered in a discrete way to accommodate this as well as taking into consideration the limited space there is and close proximity to houses. We also wanted to take into consideration keeping some open ‘green space’ that people can use for socialising, picnics and for community activities and events. The retention of the ‘neighbourhood green’ feel within the area was identified as an important aspect for people living the area as part of the consultation we carried out. 3.1 Development Matrix Action How Resources Timescale 2018 Review Community Area Create Activity Work with Funded from the To be completed Completed area. contractors to Environment by October 2017. create an area Team Budget. where games can be played.

We wanted to create a whole area that would be dedicated to the design and function of increasing habitats and biodiversity for wildlife in the area as well as creating a great educational resource for the local school and for our team to run activities on there as well. This gave us the perfect opportunity to work with one of our partners, the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Greater Manchester and North Merseyside, to create an area that would not only visually improve the area but meet the criteria set out above. Project name: Darley Avenue Wildlife Garden, Southway Housing Trust Location: Darley Avenue, Manchester Overview Southway Housing Trust would like to improve the wildlife value of four small areas of amenity greenspace on Darley Avenue as part of a wider initiative to gain Green Flag status for a series of greenspaces in the area. To support Southway Housing Trust with this aspiration Lancashire Wildlife Trust have developed a short proposal for options to improve the wildlife value of the four greenspaces based upon knowledge gained during a site visit and through conversations with Claire Drury, Southway Housing Trust. Current status of the four greenspaces At present the four greenspaces are managed as amenity grassland (cutting regime not known but appears regular). There are six trees currently established along the edge of the greenspace which is adjacent to the pavement and road. www.lancswt.org.uk Protecting Wildlife for the Future Potential wildlife garden enhancements Based upon the brief site visit to review the greenspaces and information provided by Claire Drury on initial consultation with residents, some of the potential options which could be explored for the wildlife garden are provided in the attached figure and described in basic detail below. Tree planting Lancashire Wildlife Trust would recommend additional tree planting at Darley Avenue to help provide an increase and diversity of food sources for a range of wildlife species, particularly birds. A range of species are recommended including rowan, elder, hazel, cherry (bird), blackthorn, hawthorn and holly. In addition to tree planting at the greenspaces on Darley Avenue, Lancashire Wildlife Trust would recommend that Southway Housing Trust engage with Barlow Hall Primary School to encourage them to plant a series of trees along their boundary with Darley Avenue. It is estimated that around 25 – 30 trees would be needed for the four greenspaces and school grounds. Planting in the school grounds would help to significantly increase the wildlife value of Darley Avenue. Mottram Avenue, which splits the four greenspaces on Darley Avenue is an important greenspace corridor as it links Chorlton Water Park with Manchester Crematorium. Involving Barlow Hall Primary School in work to improve the wildlife value of the Darley Avenue will help to improve the quality of this wildlife corridor as well as increasing the interest of students and ownership of the local community. Wildflower understorey The key change which would be most beneficial to wildlife would be to take the greenspaces out of regular mowing regime and manage as a meadow (annual cut). However, based upon initial resident consultation by Southway Housing Trust there are concerns about the ‘neglected’ appearance of uncut grasslands www.lancswt.org.uk Protecting Wildlife for the Future To address these concerns Lancashire Wildlife Trust would recommend that Southway Housing Trust plant a series of native wildflower plugs underneath the existing and planted trees. Various wildflowers could be planted into this area including cuckoo flower, red campion, cowslips, primroses, crocus, etc. Southway Housing Trust would have to have a flexible mowing regime for this area – autumn and winter cuts but taken out of the mowing regime in spring and summer. In addition to the understorey beneath the trees Lancashire Wildife Trust would recommend that Southway Housing Trust explore the option of having a similar zone around the proposed seating. Lancashire Wildlife Trust would recommend that local residents have involvement in selecting the wildflower species as well as being practically involved in their planting. Depending upon the feedback from local residents the long-term aspiration would be to move towards full meadow management for the entire area. Seating and insect hotels Based upon our experience, Lancashire Wildlife Trust has always found that actively involving or increasing the use by local people of greenspace areas helps to increase ownership and understanding of the different roles that the greenspace area can deliver. At present, whilst based only on a single site visit, it appears that the greenspaces are not heavily used. Installing one or two seats into the greenspace will help to encourage local residents – children, adults and families; to utilise the spaces as a recreation resource. Lancashire Wildlife Trust would recommend that Southway Housing Trust consider installing a seat which encourages residents to think about the wildlife value that the greenspaces could / do provide by having a insect hotel underneath the seat. Resident safety and vandalism risk need to prioritized but there are a number of ways in which this dual purpose could be achieved. Involving local children and families in the creation of the insect hotel will help communicate to local people the value of this area for wildlife. www.lancswt.org.uk Protecting Wildlife for the Future Transforming your urban and natural green space Fruit bush border To increase the abundance and diversity of food sources for wildlife, Lancashire Wildlife Trust would recommend planting a fruit bush border which runs across the width of the greenspaces. A series of species could be planted including blackcurrants, red currants, raspberries, etc. (involving residents in the planting selection would be recommended) As well as providing greater food sources for wildlife, these plants could be harvested by local residents which will increase value of the area by local people. Progressing forward Lancashire Wildlife Trust would recommend Southway Housing Trust undertake further consultation with local residents, possibly using the figure provided as a prompt to highlight options to improve the wildlife (and community) value of the greenspaces on Darley Avenue. Additionally, we would recommend engaging with Barlow Moor Primary School to encourage them to become an active partner in the project – helping with planting on Southway Housing Trust land as well as undertaking improvement work on their own land. Lancashire Wildlife Trust is happy to support Southway Housing Trust with any practical work to improve the wildlife value of the greenspaces on Darley Avenue and can provide quotes if required. www.lancswt.org.uk Protecting Wildlife for the Future 4.1 Development Matrix Action How Resources Timescale 2018 Review Wildlife Area Create Bee Work with Jub from Funded from Environment To be Planted in friendly flower Holland on creating Team Budget. completed by October – area. an area that will end of November have different Financial Year 2015. species flowering 2015-2016. from March - June.

We commissioned Manchester City of Trees to carry out a woodland assessment of the space for us to understand the present condition of the area and make some recommendations for woodland management that we can then work round other community interests. We are aiming to keep the feel of this area more ‘wild’ which will enable us to offer a different engagement experience within our spaces. We are aiming to carry on this project with the local community Group and City of Trees which will enable us to access funding streams and further support on completing bids through City of Trees as an organisation. It will also enable us to work with companies that are connected to City of Trees as part of their corporate responsibility programs.

In the long term the site should: 1. Be a safe, natural space for community events/activities 2. Provide a pleasant backdrop to the adjoing properties’ gardens 3. Be a safe and secure area in relation to adjoining properties 4. Be a refuge for wildlife 2.2 Management Objectives No. Objectives (including environmental, economic and social considerations) 1 All boundary fences and structures are secure and fit for purpose 2 Trees are growing at spacings that allow for appropriate canopy and root development 3 There is a pleasant and usable space for community activity - dense bramble cover is no more than 0.04ha (20 x 20m) 4 There are engaging and rewarding community activities planned that benefit the site 5 Trees do not impinge on the neighbouring properties buildings or gardens 6 Deadwood habitat should be present in small quantities 31 | Small Management Plan Template | I&R Team | 10/09/2019 V1.2 Plan Review - Achievements Use this section to identify achievements made against previous plan objectives. This section should be completed at the 5 year review and could be informed through monitoring activities undertaken. Objective Achievement Woodland Survey Brief description of the woodland property The site is located between Darley Avenue and Melland/Lundy Avenues in Barlow Moor, Manchester. Please see Maps 1 and 2 for its location and extent. The area is landlocked from the surrounding public space as it is bordered by residential gardens on all sides. An electricity substation is located on the southwestern side. Access into the wood is via a pedestrian path – there are two locked gates from Darley Avenue that secure it from the pavement. Tree and shrub species present include sycamore, silver birch, wild cherry, hawthorn, Turkey oak, privet, cockspur thorn, dog rose and elder. Using information from the Greater Manchester Tree Audit, the tree heights and canopies can be seen on Map 3. Tree area in the northwest of the site (before leaf flushing) 32 | Small Management Plan Template | I&R Team | 10/09/2019 V1.2 The wild cherry is suckering (producing shoots up from the roots) in a small area to the north west of the site (see Map 4 for its spread). The site has a canopy cover of around 70% - the majority of this is made up from sycamore. Most of the site is dominated by dense bramble which prevents access around much of the site. Access along the alleyway from Darley Avenue has been maintained by cutting the vegetation away from the fences and herbicide spraying. This has been carried out up to the gate on the electricity substation. Bramble area, looking to the east of the site (after tree flushing) 33 | Small Management Plan Template | I&R Team | 10/09/2019 V1.2 Ground flora includes bramble (dominant), nettle, cleavers, willowherb, wood avens, and bluebell (small patch in south east). There are a few piles of fly tipped rubbish around the inside edge of the site. These comprise of a mixture of household/DIY material as well as garden green waste. It is likely that these have been thrown over the fence by the site’s neighbours. One patch of tipped rubbish near boundary fence The site is well used by garden birds including jay, blue tit, robin, sparrow, starling, great tit, long tailed tit, wren, blackbird, magpie and jackdaw. Woodland Protection Plant Health None of the trees species present are showing any signs of particular pests or diseases. Deer It is highly unlikely that deer frequent the site due to its isolation (from the wider landscape and proximity to gardens. Deer probably do use areas of the Mersey Valley and Chorlton Water Park which is a short distance to the south. 34 | Small Management Plan Template | I&R Team | 10/09/2019 V1.2 Grey Squirrels No obvious evidence of grey squirrels was found but they are highly likely to use the site. Thin barked species such as sycamore are favoured for bark stripping. This activity is usually confined to the smaller branches rather than the main trunk. As such, the stripping can girdle branches causing premature death. Where this happens, tree surgery may be required if the branches pose a risk to health and safety. Controlling grey squirrels is difficult, time consuming and impractical as the population is widespread and new animals will move into any gaps vacated by controlled animals. In nearly all circumstances, the damage caused by squirrels has to be tolerated rather than controlled. Livestock and Other Mammals Not applicable Water & Soil (soil erosion, acidification of water, pollution etc) Not applicable Environmental (flooding, wind damage, fire, invasive species etc) Flooding There are no water courses or water bodies present on site or nearby. Wind Damage There is no evidence of windblow and given the relatively low density of trees, there is no reason to suspect it may occur in the future. Fires There is no evidence of ground fires although the widespread coverage of bramble makes this difficult to assess. Climate Change Resilience (provenance, lack of diversity, uniform structure) Due to the increase of pest and diseases affecting trees in Britain and the uncertain nature of future climate and extreme weather events, it is now recognised that woodlands need to be more resilient to these pressures. By examining certain characteristics, some assessment of woodland resilience can be made and what might be needed in the years to come. However, as the woodland is very small, it is difficult to meet criteria around diversity and age structure as there is not enough space for different age classes and species. Age Structure – the trees and shrubs on site are most likely to be planted perhaps with the exception of some of the sycamore. There are no veteran or mature trees on site although a couple of the large neighbouring sycamore are clearly older than the trees on site. 35 | Small Management Plan Template | I&R Team | 10/09/2019 V1.2 As most of the trees still have many years of growth left, intervention in the form of felling (and replanting) is unnecessary. However, as there are gaps in the canopy some planting of other trees and shrubs could be undertaken. Diversity (of species) – the woodland has quite a modest species mix of native and non-native species. There is no need at present to intervene by felling and replanting with other species. There is the opportunity to plant other trees/species on site where there are canopy gaps or space. Strategy This section requires a statement of intent, setting out how you intend to achieve your management objectives and manage important features and issues identified within the previous sections of the plan. The information provided should be succinct. Mgt Objective/Feature Outline Work Prescriptions/Operations Year Community access/ Bramble The extent and density of the bramble 1 makes it impossible to utilise the space for any community activity. See Map 4 for extent of coverage. Control of the plant can be difficult and its complete removal from the site is not needed or desired. An initial strim (to ground level) of all the bramble would allow access to clear any remaining rubbish and tidying of the previous felled trees. Because of the extent and height of the plant, it is probably best undertook by motorised strimmer rather than by community volunteers with hand tools. Fly tipped rubbish Much of this material is along the fence line 1 – most likely tipped over from the residents of the neighbouring properties. Once the bramble has been removed, more material may be discovered. The removal of rubbish could be the focus of some community activity – material would have to be barrowed out of the site to a nearby skip. Existing trees – sycamore, A small amount of thinning out of the trees 2 wild cherry in the north east end of the site would help promote the space and growth on the better formed individuals or preferred species. Some of this could be done with the community under supervision using bowsaws/loppers. 36 | Small Management Plan Template | I&R Team | 10/09/2019 V1.2 Wild cherry suckers These shoots will continue to grow and will 2 become a thicket if unmanaged. These young shoots should be cut or pulled. As the trees will continue to sucker, this is likely to be an ongoing maintenance item. Access around the woodland After the bramble strimming has been 2 completed, a more focused control can be made on a routeway around the site so that this can be more easily maintained in the future. This control could involve the community in digging out the roots and/or some herbicide control carried out by a suitably qualified operative. This route could be mulched with woodchip from residue from the tree felling but it is unlikely that a (self powered) chipper small enough will be able to get through the passageway. If woodchip was tipped at the entranceway or somewhere nearby, it could be (wheel) barrowed into the site using volunteers. Tree & Shrub Planting In terms of increasing the site’s 3 biodiversity, some additional planting could be undertaken. This is dependent upon the bramble strimming taking place and will require some ongoing maintenance to keep the bramble and other competing vegetation away from the trees. Map 5 shows a proposed layout for additional planting. Woodland Wildflower This activity could be undertaken by 3 Planting community volunteers and would be focussed on the north east of the site where there is less ground vegetation. Addition of bird boxes/bat Although there are likely to be many 3 boxes nesting sites in the area, the putting up of bird boxes is a nice community activity to undertake. The addition of bat boxes (on the larger trees) is more likely to be of biodiversity benefit. Deadwood Allowing some deadwood on site will Ongoing encourage many different fungi/invertebrates which in turn will be good for birds and other small mammals. Logs can be stacked in small, low piles in areas where it doesn’t conflict with other activities going on site. If opportunities arise to create some standing deadwood (of limited height) this would also be 37 | Small Management Plan Template | I&R Team | 10/09/2019 V1.2 beneficial to invertebrates and bird species. Obviously the health and safety of site users and neighbours needs to be considered but the height of the stumps can be limited to reduce any potential hazard. Stakeholder Engagement There can be a requirement on both the FC and the owner to undertake consultation/engagement. Please refer to Operations Note 35 for further information.
