The UXO risk assessments desk studies have been completed for the sites and will be provided. The UXO team's primary role is to monitor operations, identify potential hazards, and respond to any UXO discoveries during the survey. Continuous onsite attendance during soil survey activities in identified UXO risk areas is needed. Natural England's core requirement is to commission 40 UXO engineer watching brief days as required between the contract start date and 28th March 2025, but reserve the right to commission fewer days in the event the scheduled surveys do not take place.
