Notice of environmental works to land north of Hall Lane, Swynnerton

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 Hall Lane. 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 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.

When the work will take place

We will start the work on 26 September 2022.

The timeline for the works is shown below:

• Archaeological trial trenching – September ‘22
• Mitigation pond creation – September ’22 to October ‘22
• Hedge and woodland planting – September ‘22 to November ‘22
• Grassland creation – September ‘23 to March ‘23
