When a property developer in Upminster needed to prepare land for a residential planning application, they contacted Anglian Land Services to carry out comprehensive site clearance work. The project required fast, efficient clearance to meet tight planning deadlines whilst ensuring the site was completely ready for the next stage of development.
The Challenge
The site in Upminster had been left unused for several years, resulting in dense vegetation growth, overgrown scrub, and accumulated debris. Before the planning application could progress, the land needed to be completely cleared to allow surveyors and planners to properly assess the site. The client needed the work completed quickly without compromising on quality or safety standards.
Key challenges included:
- Dense vegetation covers the entire site
- Mixed debris requires proper waste management
- Tight two-day timeframe to meet planning deadlines
- Need for complete clearance to ground level
- Proper disposal of all waste materials
Our Approach
Our experienced team arrived on site with modern equipment specifically chosen for efficient site clearance work. We developed a systematic approach to ensure the project stayed on schedule whilst maintaining our high standards of work quality and environmental responsibility.
Day One: Initial Clearance
We began by tackling the heaviest vegetation, using our professional-grade machinery to remove overgrown scrub and small trees. Our team worked methodically across the site, ensuring every area received attention. All cleared vegetation was immediately sorted for appropriate disposal or recycling where possible.
Day Two: Final Clearance and Site Preparation
The second day focused on removing remaining vegetation, clearing any remaining debris, and ensuring the site was level and ready for survey work. Our team conducted a thorough final inspection to guarantee the land met the client’s requirements for their planning application.
The Result
The site was transformed from overgrown, unusable land into a clean, cleared space ready for development planning. The client was able to submit their planning application on schedule, with surveyors able to properly assess the site’s potential.
