What we are doing
We will be creating ecological mitigation ponds surrounded by grassland habitat creation on land off Pipe Wood Lane, Blithbury. 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 ponds, 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. No further excavation takes place at this stage.
