These six two bed terraced houses emanated from a planning gain which formed part of a larger development of 32 homes for Cyden Homes.
They are built on land within Flood Zone 3 (the highest risk category). This is typical for the area, meaning a number of measures are carried out in order to mitigate flood risk:
In terms of Boston Mayflower’s wider programme, they are looking to develop more homes in Boston, East Lindsey and South Holland. A number of these schemes have flood risk issues, so there will be a need to raise finished floor levels above 1m standard (some higher than this) and often a requirement for piled foundations as opposed to more traditional methods.
Pitch provided Project Management and Clerk of Works services. To help with increased build costs, Pitch successfully secured £450,000 Flood Risk mitigation funding from the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise for two of Boston Mayflower’s other schemes.
