Natural environment Natural environment
We take ecology in to consideration prior, during the construction and after the final handover of the site. We look to incorporate any existing vegetation into the layout, should it require removal we will use ecologists during site clearance to avoid disturbing any protected species and look to avoid clearance during bird nesting season.
We will then incorporate a large number of landscaping features which include native planting, tree and wildflower meadows. Inline with our Taylor Wimpey approach to ecological we will be incorporating bird boxes, bat boxes, bug hotels, hedgehog gaps in rear garden fences and we plan to site our 1st Taylor Wimpey North Yorkshire Bee Hive in the central open space.
Connectivity Connectivity The road and layout structure has been designed with pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles in mind making the development accessible & safe to all. All traffic is to be accessed via the 2 access entrances on West Lane. Additional footpaths will provide accesses on to Southfield Avenue and Whitcliffe Lane.
