Site work is progressing well on another SWP project. The existing domestic property was demolished to make way for a three large houses with integral garages with private driveways for a local developer, GO Homes Ltd.

Masonry walls were load bearing with a beam and block ground floor on deep strip foundations to suit clay soils and the influence of local mature trees.

The existing farm site consisted of an old cow shed and granary building in a poor condition. These were to be converted into holiday lets with five new buildings also being created for holiday lets.
