Surveys confirmed the site supports a county important population of water vole, bat roosts (notably lesser horseshoe bat, Bechstein’s and a maternity roost of brown long-eared and Natterer’s), great crested newts, reptiles, badgers and some rare invertebrates. It also supports some valuable grassland, woodland, ‘brownfield’ and wetland habitats.
Tyler Grange have been involved in every stage in the site’s development, as follows:
Agreement of strategies with the county ecologist, Environment Agency and Warwickshire Wildlife Trust (WWT) that ensured there were no objections on ecology grounds; and
Post planning input into reserved matters applications, discharge of planning conditions and S106 obligations, and protected species licensing (three lesser horseshoe roosts, Bechstein’s, Natterer’s, badger).
Annie English of WWT was invited back to the site post construction and wrote this in their members’ magazine ‘Wild Warwickshire’ (Winter 2017) “WWT hopes that other developments take inspiration from this site and maximise the benefits of green infrastructure for people and wildlife.”
