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 off land off Lower Lane. 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 take place?
We will start the excavation work on 7 July 2022, to create the ponds themselves.
The pond work will be ongoing throughout the year, a timeline for the works is shown below:
- Mitigation pond creation – July to September ‘22
- Hedge planting – October ‘22
- Demobilisation – November ‘22
