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 ecological mitigation ponds surrounded by grassland habitat creation on land to the north of Lionlodge Covert. We will use the ponds to relocate any protected species, such as Great Crested Newts before we need to remove any other habitats.

When the work will take place

We will start the excavation of the ponds on 13 July 2022. The work will be ongoing throughout the year ready for planting the aquatic plants in them in autumn.

The timeline for the works is shown below:

Mitigation pond creation – July ’22 to October ‘22
Grassland creation – August ‘22 to September ‘22
Woodland planting – September ’22 to October ‘22
Demobilisation – November ‘22
