Taking care of local wildlife has been a key focus for this development, with first class environmental practices. Initial investigations of the site were carried out to check for bats, nesting birds and hedgehogs and due consideration was given to each aspect and provision made for nesting boxes.
The Inspector has highlighted the genuine commitment to reduce carbon emissions by the practices on site, particularly the use of timber frame construction. Likewise, subcontractors are chosen from the locality to minimise travel and carbon emissions.
