Surveys

We have been undertaking survey works and technical investigations to help design the Banwell bypass.

To date, surveys have helped us better understand

  • the local landscape
  • local wildlife
  • the way people use the roads
  • the ways people get around.

They have also helped us develop measures to reduce possible impacts of the bypass. 

We are continuing to complete surveys in the local area as we begin detailed design of the Banwell bypass.

The timeline for our upcoming surveys is now available.
