Redrow's plans to build 150 houses directly over the live underground quarry workings at the Park Lane mine at Hartham has been called "astonishing" by David Taylor, chairman of the Pickwick Association. Taylor said there were huge concerns the noise testing conducted for satisfactory foundations were faulty, and urged Wiltshire Council to "take the appropriate steps to discard the findings submitted by the developer." Corsham Town Council is opposed to the development. However, Redrow says that it has undertaken extensive geotechnical testing and "categorically refute(s) the unsubstantiated claims."
