As part of Wigan Libraries Wellbeing Week (9th - 14th Nov) - Thread:
Baby Yoga - Wigan Library, Wed 11th Nov, 10:00am - 11:30am
Wnwanderer, I can find mention of David Bellamy’s support, but not of SSSI hopes for the Orica site. There could well have been though, it was certainly worth a try.
Thread (2007):
Orica (Roburite) Housing Development
Local Life Wigan, Feb 2012
After an ‘Extra-Ordinary Meeting of Shevington Parish Council’ in 2013, they went on to ‘buy Crooke and Otters Croft Woods from Orica UK’ (Link).
The woodlands are a Site of Biological Importance (SBI).
Unlike SSSIs, SBIs have no legal protection but must be taken into consideration when planning applications affect the site.
