PURLEY

CLIENT:
CR8 THREE LTD

CONTRACTOR:
VISION CONSTRUCT

PRODUCTS USED:
CORE TRP; CORE DRIVE

PROJECT OVERVIEW

At Foxley Lane in Purley, 41 affordable homes sit among retained mature trees. Vision Construct delivered the development for CR8 Three Ltd, working with OB Architecture. Access and parking had to fit the established landscape.

KEY REQUIREMENTS

Provide stable access and parking in a tree-rich setting, with a root-sensitive supporting layer and a permeable gravel finish suited to everyday residential use.

THE SOLUTION

CORE supplied 1,260m² of CORE TRP for cellular support within the pavement build-up, together with 940m² of CORE DRIVE 50-35 HD and 70m² of CORE DRIVE 40-30. The TRP layer helps spread loads over rooting areas; the surface grids contain gravel under everyday use.

Membranes, geogrid and fixings completed the supply. Construction photography shows the cellular layer beside a retained tree before the landscape was finished.
