Ancient Woodland Inventory (1986). Square Plantation and much of the woodland on the Dore side of the Limb Brook dates from the nineteenth century onwards and is not ancient • 17 hectares of Wood 3 is designated as a bird sanctuary, but also forms a general wildlife sanctuary where public access is not encouraged and a minimal intervention approach is taken • The site falls within the Coal Measures Natural Area as defined by English Nature (1996) and the Countryside Commission's Yorkshire Southern Pennine Fringe Character Area (1998) • The site is included on Natural England’s Invertebrate Site Register • The site also forms part of the Sheffield Round Walk, a circular route covering various parks, woodlands and other open spaces in west Sheffield 1.1.7 Byelaws Ecclesall Woods is covered by the SCC byelaws, which cover many of Sheffield’s parks and open spaces. The existing byelaws were made in 1966 (amended in 1971) and relate to the powers in the Public Health Act 1875 and Open Spaces Act 1906. A variety of powers do exist to protect the public and the environment from possible conflicts of interest, misuse and abuse. The byelaws cover such things as vehicular use, cycling, ball games, events, picking flowers and many others. It is widely recognised that some of the existing byelaws are now irrelevant in today's society and consequently some byelaws are no longer enforced. However, overhauling the existing byelaws is a considerable and expensive legal task and until such a time that the relevant byelaws are fully reviewed and amended the existing powers remain in place and are enforced as and when appropriate. A copy of the byelaws can be found on our website at: http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/out--about/parks-woodlands--countryside/all-aboutus/byelaws 1.1.8 Leases, wayleaves and covenants Tenancy at wills Tenancy’s at will’s cover six businesses based at the sawmill: • Handspring Design Ltd • Hector and Cedric Ltd • Sustainable Building Supplies Ltd • Tinsley Tree Project • Working Woodlands Ltd • Lorraine Botterill and Leah Torp-Neilson Wayleaves A Yorkshire Water main sewer passes through the site from Whirlow Park Road, through the sawmill site, and onto Abbey Lane, whilst another skirts the southern edge of Whirlowdale Road along the woodland boundary. The 18
idleway from Limb Lane is followed by a main sewer, which then runs south down the bridleway adjoining the Limb Brook all the way to Abbeydale Road South. A Yorkshire Electricity sub-station is present at the north-western entrance from Abbey Lane (SK 319835) in Wood 1, with links to the main network on Abbey Lane. A British Gas sub-station is present off Abbey Lane (SK 322837) in Wood 3 with various links to the main network on Abbey Lane. A British Gas pipeline skirts the south-western boundary of Wood 3.
