We are currently undertaking environmental studies to fully understand the existing ecological communities (plant and animal species) and their habitats that exist around the site, with a particular focus on the river corridor which lies behind the site. No works will occur within the river corridor however degraded land within the site and adjacent to the corridor shall be remediated and restored. it is vital to fully understand & appreciate any potential impacts of the project on native wildlife (aquatic & terrestrial) along with plant communities & tree species.

We are also undertaking flood modelling and fluvial geomorphic studies of the river corridor to fully understand the geomorphic characteristics and properties of the river in order to correctly understand the extent of riparian lands that exist; we have engaged specialist consultants to undertake these studies.

Planning for the site will be informed by the results of the environmental assessments we carry out and advice from our environmental consultants. Any proposed works on the site will ensure the protection of the environment both during construction and operational stages and environmental studies will be submitted with the development application along with all measures required to be taken to ensure the protection of adjoining environments.
