Sacyr Environment Team brief staff on EPSL

Sacyr UK & Ireland’s Environment Team delivered a briefing on the European Protected Species Licence (EPSL) for the new Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) construction site. The session received positive feedback and was attended by 57 Sacyr personnel along with members of Project Co.

The briefing was delivered by environment Team members Huw Lewis & Oliver Hurrell to ensure that new team members are informed of the complex licence conditions safeguarding the habitat of the Hazel Dormouse, both retained and created, within and surrounding the site.

Key points emphasized included the importance of identifying protected and licensed areas across the site. Participants were reminded that any activities potentially affecting these areas must be conducted in accordance with the necessary permissions and under the supervision of an Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW).

The natural wildlife and flora surround the nVCC is of upmost importance to all the Sacyr team, with our goal being to have minimal impact on the pre-existing life around us, and to work in synergy with nature.
