Natural England confirmed the notification of Lazy Meadow SSSI on 22 November 2018.
Overview
On 24 May 2018 Natural England notified Lazy Meadow as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Lazy Meadow SSSI is located in Worcestershire and is the only known high quality example of nationally rare species-rich floodplain grassland remaining within the Vale of Evesham. You can submit your views via an online survey, by email or post.Why your views matter
Lazy Meadow is an excellent example of species-rich floodplain grassland. It is a triangular shaped ridge-and-furrow field managed as a hay meadow, situated on the south-west outskirts of Evesham. It lies 40m above sea-level on Jurassic Lower Lias semi-permeable clays, which are slightly base-rich in nature. The site is bounded by mature hedgerows and a wooded section of the Merry Brook, which forms the western boundary.What happens next
We are now assessing the response to the consultation and will be making a recommendation to the Board of Natural England in due course. Natural England has to make a decision to either confirm or withdraw the notification of Lazy Meadow before 23 February 2019 or the notification will cease to exist. We will widely promote Natural Englands decision.Audiences
