The surveys for breeding birds, bats and reptiles are now complete and reports are being compiled. The survey for the presence of badger habitats was completed in November 2003. A desk study of the local archaeology has been undertaken along with a walkover and a geophysical survey. The geophysical survey identified the presence of possible items of archaeological significance on the line of the new road and we have commissioned a team to excavate trenches to determine the nature of these finds. These exploratory holes were carried out in November 2003 and no significant finds were noted.
