Biodiversity benefits

The site includes a 7 metre buffer of new shrub and tree planting which both screens the batteries from a nearby bridleway and encourages biodiversity gain in a predominantly arable area.

Planting will be a diverse mix of native British species and include mature trees to quickly support biodiversity growth on the site. A quarter of the site will be planted with wildflowers to encourage insects and pollinators to the site. Bird and insect boxes will be installed along the site boundary to support a range of bird and insect species.
