A number of bluebells were identified in the hedgerow around this site during initial environmental surveys on the project. They were relocated by their ecologists after being granted a licence from Natural England. This took place during the vegetation stripping works in as part of enabling works.
A second growth of bluebells were discovered in the substation exit; the same area they had been removed from in February. They arranged for our ecologist to revisit the project to relocate these into a safe area that would not be touched during the works.
They brief all new starters who might be working in this area to report any potential bluebells or flowers they’re not sure of in case they are protected by law.
To date, no further bluebells have been found but they still have the ecologist on stand-by in case they locate more bluebells or other protected species.
