Notice of environmental works to land south of Chorlton Lane, Chorlton

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 south of Chorlton Lane. We will use the ponds to relocate any protected species, such as Great Crested Newts before we need to remove any other habitats.

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.

We will start the creation of the grassland habitat on 5 September 2022.
