## Description

Wealden District Council are seeking tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors for the development of a Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space \(SANGS\)\. The Council obtained a 70 acre site on the outskirts of Crowborough in December 2015 to form a Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space, designed to mitigate the effect of new development on the nearby Ashdown forest\. The aim of a SANGS is to provide an alternative area of recreational green space, to divert a growing population from using the Ashdown Forest and damaging its delicate ecosystem by increased recreational pressure\. The space has to appeal to a wide variety of users while appearing to be a natural environment, able to sustain footfall, both in terms of interest and the ability to remain viable and accessible during the winter months\. Works will include: • Fencing and accessways • Tree and hedge planting • Wildflower meadows and swathes • Design and installation of signage, benches, wayfinders and educational boards • Further development of the site in particular access in and around Alderbrook Stream and the wetland areas on the sites including installation of boardwalks, bridges, etc\. • Further development of the site with particular emphasis on involving local communities • Development of the Scheduled Ancient Monument and Site of Archaeological Interest areas to provide access to and promoting the educational potential for the site
