Lincoln Road, Ingham

The apartments were developed by a Housing Association and the houses by a private developer. HWA were appointed to both schemes and oversaw the strategy and servicing for the site as a whole.

HWA dealt with the approval processes associated with the adoptable highways and adoptable drainage systems and in the discharge of the engineering-related planning conditions. This resulted in a refinement to the planning approved drainage system which, in turn, led to a reduction in cost and prevented major disruption to existing residents in the area.

In addition to designing highway and drainage schemes to a standard suitable for adoption, our layouts also made provision for future expansion.

Designs were produced for a range of house types, and for the apartment block. The foundation designs took account of highly shrinkable clay and provided an economical solution whilst taking into account extensive vegetation.
