Description

Wealden District Council obtained a 70 acre site on the outskirts of Uckfield to form a Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANGS) mitigating the effect of new development on nearby Ashdown forest.

The aim of a SANGS is to provide an alternative area of recreational green space, to divert a growing population from using the Ashdown Forest and damaging its delicate ecosystem by increased recreational pressure.

The space has to appeal to a wide variety of users while appearing to be a natural environment, able to sustain footfall, both in terms of interest and the ability to remain viable and accessible during the winter months.

Works will include the following:

- Fencing including acoustic fencing
- All weather footpaths and tracks
- Tree and hedge planting
- Ground modelling including formation of extensive earth bunds, creation of a pond, swales, ditches, etc
- Wildflower meadows and swathes
- Installation of signage, benches, wayfinders, educational boards, etc all as specified
- Creation of amphitheatre feature

During this period the contractor will also be responsible for all aspects of grounds maintenance to phases 1 and 2 of the site including formative pruning of the orchards.
