The Chapel Road, Wrentham site presented a number of technical challenges that required careful and coordinated design input. The site is naturally sloping, introducing complexity in establishing suitable development levels while maintaining buildability across the plots. This was further constrained by a high groundwater table, which significantly limited the use of traditional infiltration drainage solutions and increased the sensitivity of the drainage strategy. Balancing surface water management, levels design and infrastructure within these constraints required a considered approach to ensure the scheme remained compliant, practical and deliverable, whilst meeting planning and Lead Local Flood Authority requirements
