Notice of environmental works to land South of Ingestre Park Road, Ingestre

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 Ingestre Park Road. We will use the ponds to relocate any protected species, such as Great Crested Newts before we need to remove any other habitats.

The planting on this land will form part of the HS2 Green Corridor. The Green Corridor will run alongside the railway, creating a network of bigger, better-connected, climate-resilient habitats and new green spaces for people to enjoy – the Green Corridor is the largest single environmental project in the UK.

When the work will take place

We will start the work to create the habitats on 31 October 2022. This work will be ongoing throughout the year and the timeline for the works is shown below:

• Fencing – November ,22
• Mitigation pond creation –March ’23 to July ‘23
• Grassland creation – August ‘23 to September ‘23
• Hedge planting – September ‘23 to October ‘23
