Health, safety and wellbeing FAQs

All relevant resident/properties have been offered a free pre-condition survey of your property before the works. The surveys will be carried out by an independent firm of chartered surveyors, Brown Rural. The survey will provide information about the current condition of your property, so that in the unlikely event it sustains any damage as a result of the works, we have the baseline evidence to understand what has changed. You will be entitled to compensation from the Environment Agency for any loss or damage you incur as a result of the works. The surveys will evidence the damage caused in order to substantiate your claim.  The road will be monitored regularly and repaired as required throughout the works and once the works are complete.  

Keeping pedestrians and local residents safe is a top priority during the works. Our contractor, BAM Nuttall, is part of the Considerate Constructors Scheme and is committed to working safely, responsibly, and with respect for the local community. 

They will take steps to reduce disruption and keep the area safe, including: 

• Clear, well-maintained diversion routes where needed 
• Barriers and fencing to keep work areas separate from public spaces 
• Trained staff to safely manage the movement of construction vehicles 
• Only trained operators using machinery, with a strict 5mph speed limit in Magpie Wood Glamping Site and along Grove Hill 
• Good lighting and clear signage to help people stay aware of their surroundings 
• Regular checks to make sure safety measures are working properly

Residents will be kept informed in advance about the works and any changes to access.
