The road cuts through a “greenfield” site. Is anything being done to counteract the damage?
An extensve landscaping project will be undertaken to improve the area including a programme of tree planting to replace those trees removed during construction (see Landscape proposals). Many areas will be improved environmentally by the works. For example, the existing footpath and bridge in the vicinity of the River Chor are in a poor state of repair and rubbish has been dumped in the river. The area will be cleaned up and a new bridge and footpath provided, with landscaping of the river embankments.
