Indicative signal — not an official notice. This is an indicative signal produced by QuorumInsight from a public council meeting. It is not an official procurement or tender notice, is not published or endorsed by the council, and no notice has necessarily been issued on Find a Tender or Contracts Finder. Value, route to market and timing are estimates inferred from what was said and may change. Always verify directly with the authority before acting.
The planning approval for the A382 project includes a requirement for £331,000 to be spent on uplift for local biodiversity.
Also said in the meeting
“The biodiversity uplift across these sites will be achieved by employing a habitat ranger across a four-year period from autumn 2026 to autumn 2030.”
“Subject to full council approval here today and subject to agree in the funding agreement, the funding agreement will provide protections for TDC to enable flexibility in relation to LGR.”
