Oaklands Hamlet, Five Oaks Lane

Chigwell, Essex

  • Client: Countryside Properties

Parmarbrook was appointed to manage the development of Five Oaks Lane, a 425-unit mixed residential project that spans 15 hectares on a brownfield site situated on the boundary between the London Boroughs of Redbridge and Havering. The project involved developing a remediation strategy for the heavily contaminated 25-hectare site, as well as designing site roads, including the remodeling of existing public highways, and drainage systems. Parmarbrook also provided a full range of structural engineering services. To ensure sustainability, the development includes an onsite modular wastewater treatment plant, as well as an onsite water reclaim treatment plant and pumping system for re-circulation of reclaimed water to be used for non-potable purposes. Construction of the project was completed in the summer of 2016, and it consists of houses and flats designed to the highest standards of quality and comfort.
