A planning application was submitted for a change of use of a small area of land near Wrexham. The proposal included the creation of a new car parking area and a dog-walking route around the land. The habitat survey looked specifically at: grassland habitats on site, woodland and hedgerow and ponds which were present on the site or up to 250m from the site boundary.
The assessment concluded that the proposals would have no adverse impact upon the habitats present or any protected species. An ecological enhancement scheme was designed by Arbor Vitae, to include: management of the meadow to allow wildflowers to thrive, a new native species hedgerow totalling 150m and a nest box scheme to include provisions for bats and breeding birds.
