Fen meadow habitat creation

The creation of the Fen Meadow habitat has the potential to impact upon the foraging habitat and burrows of local water voles.

 

Before undertaking the works necessary to create the habitat, Sizewell C will require a licence from Natural England to address any threats to these water voles by ensuring that they are safely displaced from the works area. This is a late season survey to ensure that no disturbance will be caused prior to land work commencing.

Further information on our approach to minimising the impact of our works on water voles, as well as the activities that the project will undertake to create new habitats for them, can be viewed by clicking on the below link:
