Erection of 5 storey building comprising 18 self-contained residential units (8 x one-bedroom, 9 x two-bedroom and 1 x three-bedroom) with associated landscaping, disabled car parking, refuse and cycle storage. The enabling works included for translocation of protected species slowworms to a nearby safe area, necessary to facilitate construction. An easement with an adjoining landowner owning the freehold to several retail units off Cambridge Road that back onto the site was negotiated as part of the works necessary to allow full access. Countryside was appointed under a JCT Design & Build form of contract by the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames to build this scheme, which constitutes one of four sites being developed under the Small Sites Affordable Housing Programme. The construction value is in excess of £6m.
