Update on current building works: Park Lane development Some residents may have noticed work taking place on the land opposite The Charvil Piggott Primary School, where the new development is planned. We've spoken to Wokingham Borough Council to find out what the current works involve. They have confirmed that they are site investigations being carried out before the development can begin and include: • Archaeological investigations: These are required as part of the planning conditions to check for any archaeological remains on the site. • Ground investigations: Including boreholes and trial pits to assess ground conditions and stability. The investigations are being carried out to meet conditions relating to the outline planning permission. They do not yet mark the start of construction of the new development. Bellway, the site developer, has asked the contractors to keep vehicle movements to a minimum during the morning school drop-off and afternoon pick-up times while this work is taking place.
