The Village, Caterham
This was a flagship development by Linden Homes which also incorporates one of their regional offices.
The former military barracks were redeveloped in phases into a new community of more than 400 dwellings, Local Shops, a Health Club, vet Practice and many other local amenities for use by the new development and the surrounding area. The development was a mixture of new build and refurbishment, with adoptable highways, sewers and infiltration drainage.
The Scheme was designed by a Nationally reknowned Architect with a mix of environments and living spaces. Particular attention to detailing was required to ensure the roads and hard landscaping complemented the diverse dwellings and maintained the Architects original vision.
Ranelagh Road, Ipswich
A redevelopment of a former industrial area on a prominent town centre site, alongside the tidal stretch of the River Gipping in central Ipswich.
The scheme comprised of mixed commercial and residential use requiring Section 278 Highway improvements for access and public footpath and cycle links through the development. The Scheme also required foul water storage and a new footbridge over the river.
The storm water drainage design was developed in accordance with PPG25 & had to account for tidal lockout of the outfall in times of high tide.
Detailing of the hard surfaces was very important in order to achieve a pleasant riverside environment for both the residents and the general public, who would access the development to use the new footbridge provided by the developer as part of the Scheme. Accomodation works also formed part of the design brief to enable the new bridge to be installed by the specialist manufaturer.
Livingstone Park, Epsom, Surrey
A consortium development of nearly 300 dwellings between Charles Church, Persimmon & Taylor Woodrow Homes where the design of the Development Infrastructure and respective Developer Parcels were carried out under separate contracts.
As a general overview, the design included adoptable roads & sewers, drainage investigation, provision for a bus route, offline feature balancing pond for storm flows, discharge to an offsite watercourse and coordination with offsite highway improvements.
Completion of the design package required good communication and coordination between the needs of the three developers, whilst still meeting the requirements of Statutory Authorities for adoptions and Discharge Consents.
Greenfields, Overton
A groundbreaking development of 73 enviromentally conscious properties on a steep hillside in Hampshire.
Planning Consent required high levels of environmental design including rain water recycling, and infiltration drainage.
Attention to detail was paramount in the design of site levels to ensure the most cost effective groundworks package.
Concept House, Farnborough, Hampshire
A recent development of Contemporary Residential apartments on the edge of Farnborough town centre.
Planning Consent required a SUDs scheme of permeable paved private access roads and parking courts in an area of relatively poor infiltration. The density of the scheme and varying site gradients called for careful detailing within the design and provision for incorporating other services and utilities.
Offsite Section 278 works were also carried out to improve pedestrian and cycle link to the Town Centre and nearby Railway Station.
