Sporadic trees and hedging make up the majority of the site’s border, with species poor scrubland across the site. Arisings from the development of the neighbouring residential scheme to the west (which was formerly owned by our client) have been deposited on the subject site with our client’s prior agreement. The location of the arisings are shown within a site investigation report and have been tested as part of the survey.
