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 east of Bishton Lane. Once this is complete, we will surround these ponds with grassland habitat. We will use the ponds to relocate any protected species, such as Great Crested Newts before we need to remove any other habitats. We will also install
some new bird and bat boxes in the area to help the local wildlife.
When the work will take place
We will start the works on 26 September 2022.
