May 2020 – roads and drainage planning
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.
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
