How can the 'creation' of a wildlife corridor along Scraptoft Brook compensate for the loss of the existing habitat and the displacement of wildlife elsewhere by the building of 1200 houses ?

The resulting archaeological earthworks of this area have created an uneven ground surface of hollows and small mounds which provides habitat for a variety of existing flora and fauna..
