Rushmoor Borough Council Pinehurst Car Park Demolition 2024

Description

The road level is approximately 2.5 m above the ground level parking with a level difference made up by a combination of brick walls, embankment, and precast concrete retaining wall. The age of the car park structure is unknown but is thought to date from the 1980’s. It appears the car park has been built around two mature oak trees, online records show there no Tree Preservation Orders (TPO’s) protecting these trees.

Demolition activities must prioritise the preservation of these roadways, avoiding any harm resulting from extensive ground activity. The car park is a largely independent structure. The only areas that will require extra attention are the retaining walls on the northeast and south east elevation of the car park that require to be retained to support the road embankment. It is noted that the existing road infrastructure, subways and the independent brick retaining walls that support the road embankments are all to be retained as part of this demolition.
