Impact assessment carried out to inform the planning process set out an appropriate mitigation strategy which was agreed with the statutory authorities. This involved extensive archaeological excavations carried out prior to construction; requiring an experienced team and dynamic programme of works. The results of these investigations revealed a rich prehistoric landscape including evidence for Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement.
