TRN 970/01/2015 Review of the evidence on the effects of and response to amplitude modulation (AM) from wind turbines, with a view to recommending how excessive AM might be controlled through the use of a planning condition - The Department of Energy and Climate Change (“DECC”) wishes to commission a review of the evidence on the effects of and response to amplitude modulation (AM) from wind turbines, with a view to recommending how excessive AM might be controlled through the use of a planning condition. The aims of the project are: • To review the available evidence on Amplitude Modulation (AM) in relation to wind turbines, including but not limited to the research commissioned and published by RenewableUK in December 2013. • To work closely with the Institute of Acoustics’ AM working group, who are expected to recommend a preferred metric and methodology for quantifying and assessing the level of AM in a sample of wind turbine noise data. • To review the robustness of relevant dose-response relationships, including the one developed by the University of Salford as part of the RenewableUK study, on which the correction (or penalty) for amplitude modulation proposed as part of its template planning condition is based. • To consider how, in a policy context, the level(s) of AM in a sample of noise data should be interpreted, in particular determining at what point it causes a significant adverse impact. • To recommend how excessive AM might be controlled through the use of an appropriate planning condition. • To consider the engineering/cost trade-offs of possible mitigation measures. The contractor will be expected to apply the following methodology: Phase 1 • Propose an approach and methodology • Prepare a detailed work plan • Engage with IOA’s AM Working Group and other external stakeholders, including researchers, planning authorities, developers and RUK (and the contractors that carried out work packages for them), to compile a list of relevant research and evidence • Define evidence needs Phase 2 • Review the outputs from the RUK research, in particular: o the robustness of the study into the subjective response to AM and the conclusions drawn about an appropriate penalty scheme o the merits of the proposed planning condition, in the context of ETSU-R-97 and Circular 11/95 • Obtain and review other relevant evidence • Summarise (for non-technical audience) main findings of review of evidence • Recommend an appropriate penalty scheme (or alternative) for use in a planning condition, compatible with the IOA AM Working Group’s preferred metric • Prepare a report summarising the main findings and setting out clear recommendations, in a form suitable for publication by DECC. (The report should discuss the limitations of the evidence on which the recommendations are based.) • Present the main findings and recommendations to the IOA’s AM Working Group and, separately, to DECC’s Steering Group for this work. The contractor will be expected to work closely with the IOA’s AM Working Group throughout the project. They will also be required to attend DECC’s Steering Group meetings as appropriate.

DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS - Citizen science and tree health: Towards a strategic plan for policy, operations and research
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 25/03/2015
Closing Date: 20/03/2015
Value: £168,000
Citizen science and tree health: Towards a strategic plan for policy, operations and research - Defra and its partners are committed to a collaborative approach to safeguarding the health of the nation's trees, woods and forests. Citizen science represents a key dimension of this collaborative approach, and a number of tree health citizen science projects have been developed, many of which have been supported by the Department in its response to the Chalara outbreak in 2011. However, there is now a need to take stock of this portfolio of projects and the data they are producing. In particular, there is a need to understand the relevant data and evidence requirements of contemporary tree health policy, operations and science, to assess to what extent these requirements are being met by citizen science, and to develop a coordinated plan for tree health citizen science. As such, the proposed fellowship has clear links to evidence-based policy and practice and will shape the future delivery of tree health citizen science projects and the use of the data they produce in support of tree health policy, operations and science.

DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS - Twaite shad (Alosa fallax) spawning survey in the River Teme
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 23/03/2015
Closing Date: 09/04/2015
Value: £40,000
Twaite shad (Alosa fallax) spawning survey in the River Teme - Defra procuring on behalf of Natural England. In order to determine if a population of Twaite shad is still spawning in the River Teme, this project will undertake a programme of kick sampling at six suitable locations identified in a habitat survey conducted for Natural England in 2014. This will provide a baseline for surveys in future years. The kick sampling needs to occur when water temperatures on the Teme reach 12 oC. This is likely to be in May, but could occur in late April or early June and we ask the contractor to be able to accommodate this. A sub sample of the eggs will be genetically analysed to QA the results and also determine if any Allas shad (Alosa alosa), or hybrids between the two species are also be spawning in the Teme. This project will require landowner permission to access sampling sites, SSSI consent from Natural England, and a permit from the Environment Agency, which the Natural England project officer will obtain.
