Linden Homes are building a new development at Westbury by the station. So as to avoid disturbing nesting birds we needed to cut and chip large volumes of scrub and over-mature thorn and hedging. This was cut to a height of one metre and chipped on site.
The next phase will be to winching up and removing the trees from the lake and reducing larger oak trees, along with fitting cable bracing.
Today we were cutting 300m of various overhanging trees back over the main road in Westbury and will continue for the rest of the week.
The work needs “stop and go” boards for traffic control. Because the Conservation Contractors team are qualified to “Chapter 8” requirements, they are able to manage the traffic control in-house.
The Department for Transport has a comprehensive guide for traffic signs and management. Chapter 8 of this guide is called ‘Traffic Safety Measures and Signs for Road Works and Temporary Situations’. This is commonly referred to as the “Chapter 8 guidelines”.

We erected a security fence and gates to form a new entrance for Witheys Welding in Westbury.
It was 2.4m high palisade fencing.
