The Alternative Ecological Mitigation (AEM)
Masterplan for Wormwood Scrubs will include capital works to create
a sustainable urban drainage scheme and create ecological habitats
and a 10 Year Management and Maintenance Plan (MMP). This plan will
fulfil a legal agreement between the council and High Speed Two
Limited (HS2) to improve biodiversity on Wormwood Scrubs as
mitigation for the work to build the HS2 station and Old Oak
Common.
This project will contribute to Council priorities and aspirations,
including becoming the countries greenest borough and ‘rising
to the challenge of the climate and ecological
emergency’.
