Home Farm Phase 2 adoption process – update on Taylor Wimpey’s roads and sewers

We wrote to Taylor Wimpey on the 4th April 2012 asking them to outline the adoption process for the roads that are under ownership, that is the already ‘finished’ part of Stevensons Road and Sheepwash Way.

Below is the response from Bryn Maidmen, Managing Director of Taylor Wimpey East Anglia…

As you are aware Barratt Homes have instructed Maypine Civil’s to carry out remedials on the “spine” road section of the Home Farm Development, which we understand is nearing completion.

Taylor Wimpey are currently awaiting confirmation of the Highways Agreement process from CCC for the spine road and once confirmed we will look to carry out the remedials within our control with a view to CCC adopting our sections of roads in tandem with the spine road.

With regards to the sewers, the Foul Water system was adopted by Anglian Water Authority in October 2011 under the new DEFRA regulations, however the Surface Water sewers outfall direct to a water course and therefore remain the responsibility of Taylor Wimpey / Barratt Homes and Deliottes, any remedials required to the Surface Water sewers by Anglian Water Authority will be carried out prior to Maypine Civils surfacing the spine road which I am told will be in approximately two weeks time.

I trust the above is satisfactory.

Yours sincerely

Bryn Maidmen
