Enabling works at Eddeva Park

The Brookbanks Difference / News / Enabling works at Eddeva Park

Working on behalf of our client This Land™ , we are pleased to announce the completion of the first phase of enabling works at Eddeva Park, Cambridge. The Brookbanks’ Production and Utilities teams have worked to safely disconnect the utilities within the former farmhouse and co-ordinate the demolition.

Out on site, the archaeology works carried out by Oxford Archaeology Limited are well underway with the site wide surface strip and trenching excavations which will last until the Autumn.

Brookbanks is proud to have led the site wide Development Management, Employers’ Agent, Infrastructure Engineering designs and Cost Management; helping to bring the much needed new homes and community facility forward on this important project.

Please get in touch to find out how Brookbanks can assist with your next development opportunity.

Their session looked at the real‑world challenges that commonly appear between early drawings and activity on site. Ryan and Toby shared their experience of how early awareness, clearer coordination and the right conversations at the right time can make a measurable difference to project outcomes.

For developers, it raises a critical question: if infrastructure isn’t being delivered, are these obligations still proportionate or commercially justified? This article explores why the issue persists and how reviewing triggers, outdated requirements and opportunities for modification or claw-back can turn S106 from a fixed liability into an actively managed commercial tool that protects viability and unlocks value.
