PROJECT SUMMARY: This new build development comprises 32 units of residential accommodation spread over 5 levels in conjunction with surface car parking to the rear.

Aston House is a new build development in Gerrards Cross, comprising 32 units of residential accommodation spread over 5 levels in conjunction with surface car parking to the rear. The existing office block on the site is to be demolished to make way for the new development.

The structural form is reinforced concrete ground floor and 1st floor transfer slabs, supporting 4 levels of light gauge steel framed construction (with thin concrete slab floors). Piled foundations are envisaged.

Currently, at the start of February 2019, demolition is well underway and progressing well. Contract value is £5.47m, completion is scheduled for early in 2020.

The existing building is thought to have piled foundations – if this is the case, GCE will need to ensure that the new piles are arranged so that they do not clash with or are compromised by the existing piles.

The project at little Marsh is a great way to showcase true sustainability and the enhancement of biodiversity through the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).

The site is underlain by a mix of permeable and impermeable strata, with a high groundwater table. Using this to our advantage, we have designed in some “natural pools”, groundwater and surface water harvesting for agricultural use, and a new “marshland” area that promotes an increase in biodiversity.

We have Strategically placed several attenuation tanks around the site in order to maximise the water re-use potential.
