Demolition commences on BDW2
The demolition of affected homes on BDW2 of Darwin Green started on Monday 15th January 2024. The demolition is being undertaken in phases and will last for 14 weeks, with Barratt and David Wilson Homes remaining committed to minimising the effects of the demolition work for local residents as much as possible.
Thirty-six homes currently at the roof stage of construction will be demolished and remediation will be undertaken on a further 47 plots, each at different stages of partial construction.
Seven monitoring stations have been placed throughout the development to monitor and control levels of noise, dust and vibrations. Additionally, fencing has been installed to screen existing residents from the works and water is being used to help dampen the ground conditions to prevent dust.
We also want to carry out the work sustainably, so we will be recycling as much material as possible including tiles, doors, windows, and kitchen equipment, as well as crushing and reusing the concrete and brick on site.
The demolition works are being carried out by Demolition Services Ltd., an experienced and expert demolition contractor, who will be carrying out the demolition works in accordance with the conditions approved by the Joint Development Control Committee in December 2023.
