WILDLIFE AND BIODIVERSITY

Ironstone Energy aim to bring positive benefits to the natural environment surrounding the plant. The project will support farmers in the transition to sustainable and regenerative farming practices, improving soil health and enhancing biodiversity over time. Landscaping will include a woodland tree belt to screen the perimeter of the plant, along the length of the access route and off-site planting of hedgerow, trees, and woodland. This will not only offer a valuable habitat for etc. A full ecological impact assessment has been carried out by independent specialists and a programme that extends beyond the statutory Biodiversity Net Gain requirement will be implemented.
