Notice of archaeology works to the north of Yarlet Lane, Yarlet

What we are doing

We will be creating ecological mitigation ponds surrounded by grassland habitat creation on land to the north of Yarlet Lane at Yarlet, opposite Grange Farm. We will use the ponds to relocate any protected species, such as great crested newts before we need to remove any other habitats.

Before we start to construct the ponds, we need to excavate some archaeological trial trenches. These are to help us understand if there are any archaeological features or natural geological deposits, that we need to be aware of before we start any other work.

When the work take place?

We will start the excavation work on 18 April. We will begin work to create the ponds themselves once we have carried out the archaeological work, the pond work will be ongoing throughout the year.
