Construction Timeline

Keep checking back for more updates as the homes start to take shape!

The vegetation was cleared off the plots with a remote control robocutter, ready for building! The tarmac sub base also went on the road.
After the attenuation tanks were put in, the giant pile of soil that was removed was replaced, ready to be replanted with vegetation.
This month the access road to the site was constructed, and the attenuation tanks were put in.
This month the workers got out the diggers and rollers and started installing the road.
 
This month the services trench was dug out so that we could put in the piping for the water mains which is the blue in the photos below.

This month we cleared the site of trees so that we could start the beginning stages of building on our plots! As you can see the big oak tree in the middle of the development will be the focus as you enter the site. We also did some archaeological investigation which is what all the digging is about below.

This month our project manager Martin was on site to meet contractors about the drainage and road network that is going to be needed on site for the future residents to be able to get to their houses! He also got some beautiful shots of the Pound Lane site as well as the retained path that will go between the houses and up towards St Nicholas Church.

This month, the ecologists found a badger sett and thought we might have badgers on site as well as newts! Thankfully it turned out the badgers had moved home, so we haven’t been giving them any trouble.

This month the crew started clearing the trees on site! They brought in some big machinery and also left a lovely oak tree which will be the centre of the site.

Before work starts on site, we need to do ecology, which in this case is making sure the newts are cleared from site and relocated! The newt fence is up to make sure that no newts that have been cleared get back in.

Video site diary

Check out our new 360 video and look at every angle of the site that you want to see!

There’s lots of greenery around the actual plots, and a path that takes you all the way around

The plots have all been cleared and you can see the size of the whole site

We’ve got the diggers and the rollers out, building out the road through the site

The plots are being marked out! And you can see in this video how big each plot is

Preparation works in progress so that we can install attenuation tanks in case of a hundred year flood event

Architect Luke Tozer from Pitman Tozer Architects talks us through the S6 House 

Architect Alex Ely from Mae Architects who designed MyHouse talks us through plots 1 and 2

See just how big the area of woodland is in this video and just how big each of the plots are

The site is being cleared of some trees so that we can mark out the plots and start building the roads

Our PM Martin is on site to do some work, and takes us on a tour of the site, showing us where the plots and roads are, as well as the communal green space

Our MD Gus takes a tour of the Pound Lane site and shows you what we’re doing about the great crested newts that are on the site
