Conningbrook Park - Work begins

Redrow, the builder starting work on Conningbrook Park, Willesborough Road attended the Council meeting on 8th March to answer questions from Councillors and local residents. 

 

They reported that they have started archaeology on site – the trenches that can be seen from the road. In April/May development will commence and expect to start road works on Willesborough Road in July. Completing the Bowls Club, which will include a facility for non-members to hire is anticipated by April 24. 

 

The initial phase of house-building will focus on the triangle made by the railway, Willesborough Road and the main access road through the centre of the site. Phase 2, up towards the hotel and Cannon Woods Way, is not expected for 4-5 years and will depend on the housing market in the meantime. No piling on any part of the site is planned. 

 

The developer is required to carry out improvements at Simon Weil/Canterbury Road and the William Harvey Hospital roundabout before people start to occupy the new houses but the timing of those works will be set by Kent Highways.
