BODPAVE PROVIDES THE IDEAL STABILISING SOLUTION FOR ACCESS ROADS AND PARKING
About the project : Barratt Homes Northeast acquired a parcel of derelict land opposite the North Shore Academy on the outskirts of Stockton-on-Tees . The land is of particular historical interest , being the site of the wagon works for the world ’ s first ever passenger railway line , from
Stockton to Darlington . The works were later used during World War 2 for the manufacture of de Havilland Mosquito bombers .
The development comprised 300 new homes , with a combined direct and indirect investment of £ 160 million . As with most housing developments nowadays , care was taken to include sufficient green space area for residents to enjoy . Along with play areas , part of this included a large swale at the front of the development bordering North Road , to help cope with excess water runoff or flooding during heavy rain events .
