We appreciate that construction can be disruptive, so we’ll carefully consider local residents as we develop our plans and work hard to reduce disturbance as we undertake our works.
Machinery, personnel and activity was visible on-site for the first time during the Summer and Autumn of 2025 to enable exploratory survey work to take place. Further information on what the team was doing, and why, can be found at Broad Oak Ground Investigations.
What are our plans for construction?
Sustainably driven
Sustainability is at the core of our approach, both during construction and with our long-term design of the reservoir. This could include using environmentally responsible methods during construction such as reusing materials that are already present on-site and ensuring that the project is delivered on time, with minimal waste and emissions. The development will also feature improved links to nearby roads and public transport, making sustainable travel easier.
Construction and safety
Safety is the most important part of any construction project. Our design and construction process will be supervised by specialist government engineers, who’ll give us final permission before we can start filling the reservoir with water. We’ve also been assessing the soil, rocks and groundwater in the area, to help us build safely by avoiding unsuitable ground.
