Vegetation Clearance

From 1 September until the end of October 2025 the contractors will also be removing vegetation from various locations. It is understood what the impact may be when vegetation is removed. As part of the project, the contractors are delivering several environmental enhancements as well as re-planting once works are completed.

Vegetation is removed in a way to minimise the risk to the harming of wildlife. The project has conducted the necessary ecological checks prior to clearance to ensure animals and bird are identified, and appropriate controls are implemented.
