Notice of environmental works and temporary closure at Casey Lane, Weston

What we are doing

As part of our early environmental works, we will establish critical environmental and species relocation sites creating new habitats for local wildlife before any main work starts.

We will be creating various ecological habitats on land off Casey Lane Once complete, the habitats will be ready to receive sensitive species like Great Crested Newts from other sites.

Before we start to construct the habitat areas, 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. We will use a mechanical excavator to dig the trenches. To get this excavator in and out of the site safely, we need to temporarily close a small section of Casey Lane for 15 minutes.

When the work will take place

We will put the temporary closures in place on Monday 5 September, they will only be in place for 15 minutes at some point during the day. We will carry out all the other work during the day from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

The timeline for the remaining works is shown below:

• Grassland creation – September ‘22 to October ‘22
• Woodland planting – September ’22 to October ‘22
• Demobilisation – early-November ‘22
