The restored land will include mixed-species agricultural grassland, native woodland planting, re-instated hedgerows, the introduction of a wet meadow, two surface water ponds and the retention of boundary scrub to transition to immature woodland. These habitats will support local biodiversity. A planning permission of 20 years from the date of commencement is being sought for the proposed development. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application.
