Hart Street, Brentwood - Hard Landscaping Contract for Countryside Properties

Ashridge has the contract for the hard landscaping works on Hart Street, Brentwood in Essex for Countryside Properties which had been delayed for 2 years. Specifically Ashridge is responsible for the construction and repaving works including excavation, footpaths, sub-base, road base and block paving.

This contract forms part of a comprehensive mixed use development by Countryside Properties at Kings Road in Brentwood consisting of a new 3564sq m office building known as 'Stone Cross' together with 62 apartments to be marketed in two phases as 'The Square' and 'Old Market Terrace'. The scheme also includes improvements to the public car park and a new junction arrangement onto Hart Street.

This prominent town centre site had stood empty for some 10 years with an unworkable planning consent before Countryside Properties secured planning for this attractive mixed-use scheme.

The majority of the apartments were sold prior to completion, whilst the office building was let to Océ N.V. one of the worlds leading document management companies.
