Halesworth Fen Meadow wildlife habitat

As part of the Development Consent Order, Sizewell C are creating three new compensatory habitats at sites in Benhall, Halesworth and Pakenham. These sites are part of a package of measures to protect and enhance local wildlife, which include its flagship 'Wild Aldhurst' nature reserve, created near Sizewell in 2014.

Works to create the Halesworth Fen Meadow will commence in 2025, with the works completed in two phases:

January 2025 – April 2025: Construction of the site access, compound, site investigations and archaeological works.

July 2025 – November 2025: Construction of the site to establish the Fen Meadow. Further details of this activity will be shared in due course.

The aim of these works is to create the specific ground conditions required for the establishment of Fen Meadow, which will be seeded and maintained by Sizewell C. The site will benefit a wide range of wildlife and will be an important natural legacy for generations to come. Follow its progress via the link.
