The proposed Phase II development at Hengistbury Head has the potential for some environmental impacts during construction. Minor disturbances to the local community from noise and dust are expected, as well as possible increased traffic and parking in residential areas due to car park closures. Increased noise during construction could adversely impact wildlife through hearing loss, stress, and territory abandonment. Vibration from construction vehicles and machinery may damage habitats and species in the development site. The temporary relocation of the land train route also risks exacerbating coastal erosion. With mitigation measures, most impacts are predicted to be small or medium and temporary during the construction period.
