After countless lorry loads of soil were delivered to the site the bulldozers got to work to complete the profiling. The area in the south west corner bounded by Middle House Drive and Ashgrove close was planned to be a wildlife area. There was even talk of putting sheep on the site to act as "lawnmowers". They finally arrived on 15 January 2009. Later picture from similar position shows the finished scene.
