To protect the local bird population, housing association VIVID has aligned a planned pause in work on their flagship Victory Quay development for the winter.
This ensures minimal disruption to coastal birds including Brent Geese, Redshank, Oystercatcher and Lapwing that call the Solent coast, home for the winter – nearly 10% of the world’s population!
Throughout development, the impact on wildlife and nearby residents is being carefully considered. Construction is phased and timed to reduce noise, vibration and human disturbance. Also, site traffic is being routed via a site entrance off the M275 to reduce congestion and traffic on nearby residential roads.
Tristan Samuels, Group Development & New Business Director of VIVID, said: “This is what good development looks like now, protecting and enhancing local wildlife and minimising impact on the existing biodiversity is at the heart of our Victory Quay development. Our plans ensure that construction is considerate of all local residents – human and animal. Once completed, Victory Quay will be a welcoming home for the people of Portsmouth and the diverse wildlife of the Solent coast.”
The finished development will include a bespoke conservation area designed to protect the coastal birds and enhance opportunities for loafing and foraging. VIVID is also creating new flood defences to protect residents and the wider community from the threats posed by rising sea levels and subsequent flooding.
