Building begins at Barn Hall in April 2011
26/04/11 15:06
As expected, construction work has begun. The new
development is called St Mary’s Walk. It’s being
built by a Gladedale company, Country and
Metropolitan Homes. 152 homes are being built - 6
(2-bedroom) flats, 2 (2-bedroom), semi-detached
bungalows & 144 (2, 3 & 4 bedroom) terraced,
semi-detached & detached houses. The only access
road to the new estate will be from Station Avenue,
approx. 30 metres north-west of the Silver Way
junction. Show houses and a sales area are being
built first near the access point, then the remainder
of the south-east field (probably proceeding in an
anti-clockwise direction round the field), before
moving on to the second, north-west field.
Raise any concerns or issues directly with the developer as building progresses
Country and Metropolitan Homes have given assurances that they wish to keep disruption to a minimum. Their Site Manager at St Mary’s Walk is Nigel Cansell. His contact number is 07582 292 905. He is the person to telephone if, at any time, residents have concerns or wish to raise issues about the construction work. If he’s unable to answer when you call him, please leave a message - including your full name, a contact telephone number, and a brief description of the reason for your call.
Wickford North Green Action Group (WNGAG) continues its work to protect the environment
WNGAG was set up in 2006 to fight this development. When planning permission was granted, we realised that we’d reached ‘the end of that road’. We’re continuing as a residents’ committee to work to ensure that what is built is the most suitable development for this part of Wickford and that, as far as possible, the impact on the environment is minimised. We’ve been successful in having many trees covered by Tree Protection Orders (TPOs), most hedges retained and protected by fences during building, footpaths kept where possible, and the pond at the end of Jubilee Drive will be cleaned up and fenced off.
We’ll continue to do what we can until construction finishes. If you’d like to bring environmental issues to our attention and/or update us on concerns which you’ve raised directly with Country and Metropolitan Homes, please e-mail us. Sorry we’re not able to take forward individual concerns on your behalf but we will monitor the development as a whole and raise the wider issues with the appropriate person(s).
