ES3 Biodiversity

Protect and enhance biodiversity in Dartmouth Park, by:

  • protecting and enhancing existing biodiverse habitats at the sites listed below and shown on the map at Fig. 7 below:
    • Mortimer Terrace / Mark Fitzpatrick Nature Reserve;
    • the railway corridors south of Mortimer Terrace / Mark Fitzpatrick Nature Reserve;
    • the Lissenden Gardens community garden in Highgate Enclosures outside Clevedon Mansions; and
    • the York Rise Estate allotments; and
  • supporting developments which provide new areas of biodiverse habitat by measures such as:
    • extending and linking up the ‘green corridors’ shown on Fig. 7 below;
    • using landscaping which provides habitats that support native species and species on local and national biodiversity action plans or that otherwise increase biodiversity;
    • creating wildlife areas (such as wildlife gardens) to increase biodiversity in public areas; and
    • improving biodiversity in the large, enclosed blocks of private gardens in the centre of the Area by planting native species trees and shrubs as a haven for wildlife.
