A new mains drainage system will deliver a positive impact on a leisure park’s finances and environmental footprint. Swanley Park in Kent has decommissioned a large cesspit, following culmination of a seven-year plan to secure permission from several neighbouring landowners to lay mains drainage.
Plans have been approved to build more than 500 much-needed homes in the West Sussex village of Angmering. The development, near the A27 and South Downs, will comprise apartments, houses and bungalows across an 81-acre site. Motion supported developer CALA Homes with detailed design for the main site access and Section 278 highway works.
Drainage expert and Motion Consultant, Richard Bettridge, sets out why urgent investment in infrastructure is the key to unlocking new homes and protecting the local environment.
Keeping traffic moving during road improvement works is a regular test of Motion’s infrastructure design capabilities. But in one such project in Hampshire, differing levels for a new roundabout layout created additional challenges for the team.
