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