The principal aim of the development was to safeguard the future of Bayston Hill Quarry by extending the available reserve.  This represented potential issues relating to landscape and visual effects which would be mitigated via the construction of a design of a new perimeter screening landform. This would be formed early in the quarry redevelopment process and would replicate an existing ridge providing screening to the relocated plant site.  The creation of this landform represented a significant opportunity for a ‘Landscape Scale’ habitat creation project, with ties to the wider landscape in terms of character ecology and historic context all being considered from the outset.   The concept for the site included the design of a new perimeter screening landform that would be formed early in the quarry redevelopment process to replicate an existing ridge and provide screening to the relocated plant site
