As is often the case with large projects, there was a tight deadline as a result of the approaching hibernation season. Brushdale ensured that the project was well managed and suitably resourced, delivering the project ahead of schedule, which meant further clearance works could be carried out on site in the same timescale, much to the delight of the client. Sensitive methodologies for the works were developed with the ecologist to ensure that risk to dormice was minimised.
