Phase 1 update
Recent visitors to Dagwood Lane may have observed significant advancements in the construction of Waterworks Spring Farm. As you pass by the area, you will notice the first two houses, which have been built up to the ridge height, standing prominently beyond the secure hoarding.
I am pleased to inform you that Phase 1 of the development, comprising six dwellings, has been successfully cleared of contamination. The remediation efforts on the North Eastern side of the development are progressing steadily as the screening process continues.
We are excited about the ongoing progress and remain committed to ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality in this development project. We will continue to keep you updated on further developments.
Thank you for your continued interest in Waterworks Spring Farm.
Highways
We are thrilled to inform you that, following a productive meeting with Essex Highways engineers, we have received official confirmation for the implementation of several enhancements to Dagwood Lane. These improvements will include the addition of footpaths and passing places, ensuring a safer and more convenient experience for all motorists and pedestrians.
During our discussions, it was determined that all the proposed passing places fall within the curtilage of highways land, further ensuring the effectiveness and compliance of these changes.
Additionally, we are happy to share that the on-site Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) within the development will play a crucial role in mitigating surface water. This is particularly significant as it will address previous issues that have arisen on the highway due to surface water accumulation. We are excited about the positive impact these improvements will have on the overall functionality and safety of Dagwood Lane.
Social Responsibility
At Pertan Dagwood, we prioritise corporate social responsibility and social value. That is why we have incorporated them into our policies. As a way of giving back to the communities, we actively engage with them. To demonstrate our commitment, we have established a donation program to support the local food bank at Doddinghurst Road Community Church. Every month, we provide food packages to help our community navigate difficult times. By supporting initiatives like this, we aim to make a positive impact and promote a sense of togetherness within our community.
Environment
To ensure the surrounding area outside development sites remain clean, it is a standard requirement for major developments to utilize on-site wheel washers, which effectively prevent debris from negatively affecting the environment. In addition to meeting this condition, Pertan Dagwood have gone above and beyond by voluntarily implementing an extra measure. We have employed road sweeper vehicles to clean the entire length of Dagwood Lane twice a week. This proactive approach ensures a cleaner and more pleasant environment for all residents.
