Case Study 

Ladywood Grange, Ascot

In 2017, it was observed that the car parking arrangements at Ladywood Grange were not fit for purpose. This was following a series of incidents that included resident’s vehicles being blocked in, and even inaccessibility for emergency service vehicles.

Following extensive research and discussions with the freeholders, it was decided that Cleaver Property Management would take steps to future proof the carpark. Having spoken to and obtained quotations from various contractors, Reading Asphalt were appointed to take on the project.

It was agreed that the land and parking facilities at Ladywood Grange would be rearranged/extended. The aim being that each property would benefit from its own parking bay.

Of course, there were complications along the way, with the Asphalt company having to remove over 40 tons of soil below the existing road surface, as well as obstructive trees and shrubbery. Some of these trees had TPO’s against them, which meant we had to be very careful about which were tampered with. Instead, it was decided that a car port would be erected over the bays below the protected trees, to protect the cars allocated to those spaces.

It was also decided that the bike store, which was being misused, would be removed to allow for additional space. It was not being used to store bikes, and so the car parking took priority.

Overall, around 70 square metres of new asphalt was eventually laid. The final result extended the car parking by 50%, giving each resident their own allocated bay plus three visitor bays. The bays were marked and a permit scheme introduced with Parking & Property Management.

“The team at Cleaver Property have done an outstanding job at Ladywood Grange. They managed to obtain planning permission for additional parking and delivered on the subsequent project on time and within budget.
