08/12 December Update
Mead have completed the external wall construction on the Villa and are preparing to install the roof trusses. The scaffold installation for all 3 blocks is now complete, enabling the roof space to be cleared for demolition.
Please note that in order to catch up programme delay, Mead will be working over the Christmas period on the 27th, 28th and 29th of December, and recommencing in the new year on the 2nd of January.
Sequencing
The Villa and the Penthouses are being constructed simultaneously. The strategy is to utilise the rear of the existing blocks and allow the grounds of Mulberry to continue to be utilised by the residents. However, a varying number of parking bays (between 5 and 10) will need to be suspended throughout the build process to enable deliveries and scaffold installation. Minimising disruption for residents is at the forefront of the sequencing strategy.
Parking
As part of the planning approved parking layout, new spaces will be delivered at the front of each of the existing blocks. These works are scheduled to take place across November/ December 2023,and will provide an additional 5 parking spaces which will be readily available during the remainder of the construction period (reducing the disruption caused by the suspension of parking spaces in front of the Villa).
Working Hours
Construction works are limited to the hours of 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays. It is important to note that the construction hours permitted for the development of these works, differ to the construction hour limitation imposed by the Property Managers.
Mead will aim to avoid working on Saturdays where possible, but for a live update on whether works are scheduled for a particular Saturday, please refer to the website link provided above.
