Securing Biodiversity in Breckland - European Commission

Calcicolous grasslandsShingle, strandline andsand-dune communitiesCalcifugous grasslandsDwarf-shrub heathMesotrophic grasslandsTable 5. The 32 Breckland Sites of Special Scientific Interest containing grass-heath. A number of sites dominated byother habitats are not included, despite containing minor areas of dry grass-heath. Dry grassland and heathlandNational Vegetation Communities (NVC) are given for each site. Note that NVC features listed relate to those knownat the time of notification and are not necessarily a complete account of what is currently present (Source: NaturalEngland). Although the notified feature may be “CG7abde”, pooling of these sub-communities into a single aggregatefeature does not imply all are present on a site. Neither CG7d or CG7e are known to occur in Breckland (Rodwell1992), as confirmed by the 1992 Norfolk and Suffolk Chalk Grassland survey commissioned by Natural EnglandSite of Special Scientific Interestcontaining grass-heath resourceArea(ha)Notified dry grassland andheathland NVC communitiesCG SD U H MGBarnham Heath 76.5 X X CG7abde, U1bcdf, U4, U4/20Barnhamcross Common 67.3 X X X CG6, SD10, U1bcdfBerners Heath, Icklingham 233.5 X X X X CG7abde, SD8, U1bcdf, H1Black Ditches, Cavenham 1.7 X CG2Bridgham & Brettenham Heaths 446 X X X X CG7abde, U1abdf, U1e, SD8,Cavenham-Icklingham Heaths 398.8 X X X H1 SD11, U1bcdf, H1Cherry Hill & The Gallops, Barton 10.1 X CG6Mills Cranwich Camp 12.6 X CG7abdeDeadmans Grave, Icklingham 126.3 X X CG7abde, U1bcdfEast Harling Common 14.9 X CG2, CG6East Wretham Heath 141.1 X X X CG7abde, SD8, U1bcdfElm Road Field, Thetford 5 X CG6Eriswell Low Warren 6.6 X X CG7abde, U1bcdfField Barn Heaths, Hilborough 18.7 X CG2Foulden Common 136.8 X CG2, CG6Foxhole Heath, Eriswell 84.5 X X X CG7abde, CG7c, U1a, U1bcdf,Gooderstone Warren 22 X X X H1 CG2, SD10, U1bcdf, H1Grimes Graves 64.9 X X X X CG7abde, SD8, U1e, H1Knettishall Heath 91.2 X X X CG7abde, U1bcdf, H1Lakenheath Warren 570.6 X X XCG5, CG7abde, CG7c, SD10,SD11, U1a, U1bcdf, U4Little Heath, Barnham 45.7 X X CG7abde, CG7c, U1a, U1bcdfLordswell Field, Eriswell 3.1 X X CG7abde, U1a, U1bcdfMaidscross Hill, Lakenheath 45.2 X X X CG7abde, SD11, U1bcdfNarborough Railway Embankment 7.8 X CG2, CG7abdeOld Bodney Camp 32.2 X X X CG7abde, SD8, SD12, U1bcdfRAF Lakenheath 115.5 X X CG7abde, U1bcdfStanford Training Area (STANTA) 4597 X X X X XCG2, CG6, CG7abde, SD8,U1bcdf, U1e, H1, H9, MG5Thetford Golf Course & Marsh 119.6 X X X CG2, CG7abde, U1bcdf, H1Thetford Heaths 269.4 X X X CG7abde, CG7c, U1a, U1bcdf,Thompson Water, Carr & Common 156 X X X H1 CG2, SD10, U1bcdfWangford Warren & Carr 65.6 X X CG7c, U1a, U1bcdfWeather & Horn Heaths, Eriswell 130.8 X X U1bcdf, H1Weeting Heath 140.8 X X CG7abde, CG7c, U1eWest Stow Heath 42.6 X X X CG7abde, U1bcdf, H143
