North Prospect – Plymouth

This development of 159 units for Plymouth Community Homes involved replacement of the existing dwellings initially around the existing infrastructure that was also later renewed as part of a Section 278 agreement whilst the new houses were under construction.

There were challenges during construction with rock close to the surface, installation of two large attenuation tanks within the outcrop, dealing with surface water for the scheme and considerable retaining walls to counter the change in levels across the site.

With an ambitious two-year build programme, the site demanded an increasing level of resource at both site and management level to achieve the desired expectations of both main contractor and client.
