There have been 3 slope / retaining wall failures within or close to the site area which have affected Lees Road in recent history.
In May 2020 geomorphological mapping and topographical surveying of the site was undertaken. The finding clarified that a landslide of approximately 20m wide flowed almost 100m down slope. Landslide debris is recorded as being between 0.5m to 1.5m thick.
The is by far the most complex and catastrophic landslide failure we have to manage.
The diversion route is: Lees Road, Birchover Road, Lees Road and vice versa.
