What we've learned working Stevenage
Stevenage's New Town estates use standard cul-de-sac layouts where every plot's rear boundary is a 3-way meeting point — boundary surveys are the single most common pre-job request here. The pedestrian underpass network means most estates have almost zero rear vehicle access — Bedwell and Chells jobs are barrow-and-hand-carry only.
