Landscaping/building question - what is this?

Abraham · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:34

There have been some fairly extensive works going on opposite the window of my office for about a year now. We've been watching with interest as things unfold, but today they laid out a big blue tarp (over some paving) took great care to smooth it out, then covered it in sand and took great care to smooth that out, and are now covering the sand in soil. :confused:

any clues as to what they might be doing?

sounds like they will be putting a concret pad on it soon

that blue stuff is a dpc Damp Proff Couse

Looks like it's sinking in the middle? Maybe it's the new Olympic stadium.

it's on paving that they've only recently laid though :confused:

and huddy that's just the curve of how far they'd put the soil on
i thought they were just making a big sand picture :s

Arh ok if its pavement they just laid then there storing the stuff there i would think

any more pics?

coolpunkskater · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:41

a garden just poped into my brain

are they building flats there?

Abraham · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:42

hang on, i'll upload the plan we have of what it's going to look like

misterPK · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:42

Is it something to do with Huddy's gangster neighbour? Should he start getting worried?

Or maybe a small enclosure for growing cress?

PK!

cool i like blue prints

cant say for sure i can tell you what they did as they just might be storing it there for XX amount of time

Abraham · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:56

no blueprints i'm afraid, just artists impressions

the thing in question is just above where it says "St peters square"
my guess was they're preparing something there to go elsewhere, i just havent got the faintest what it could be

coolpunkskater · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:58

hmm yea its just being stored there or they want a mini rised garden there

only thing i can think off sorry

EDIT look at your local councils plaining bit and see if you can find this there

it will say what the whole site is going to be eg just car park and gardens as per the above pic of more

mystery solved
they're moving some of the cabins that you can see at the top of the picture onto it, presumably it was all just a protective layer for the paving they've put down
