Managing CDM on a Challenging Coastal Site: Newtons Cove

Managing CDM on a Challenging Coastal Site: Newtons Cove

Where CDM Meets Coastal Complexity

At Safety CDM, we provide expert Health & Safety regulation and CDM support across all types of construction projects — from routine builds to complex, high-risk developments. Providing CDM support at Newtons Cove is a prime example of the latter: a large-scale, mixed-use coastal development with unique challenges, including cliff stabilisation and sea defence works. We’re proud to be supporting the Principal Contractor with practical, compliant solutions at every stage.

About the Project

Set in the dramatic coastal surroundings of Newtons Cove, this ambitious development includes:

  • 🏠 141 new homes

  • 🏥 A 60-bed care home

  • 💪 Leisure facilities including a gym, spa, and swimming pool

  • 🏢 Office and light industrial space

  • 🍽️ A waterfront restaurant

  • 🌳 Public open spaces and parking

Juno Developments UK Ltd is leading the works as Principal Contractor, and Safety CDM is providing dedicated Health & Safety and CDM support throughout the project.

Our Role in Providing CDM Support at Newtons Cove

We knew this would be a project requiring careful attention to detail given the size and complexity. Our team at Safety CDM is fully invested in supporting the success of this ambitious development, from planning through to completion.

We play an active role in managing safety and compliance, working closely with Juno Developments and other contractors to ensure the project progresses smoothly. Our responsibilities include:

  • Managing risks: Assessing potential hazards and implementing safety measures to keep the site secure.

  • Collaboration: Partnering with the team to ensure everyone is aligned on safety protocols throughout the project.

  • Documentation and compliance: Keeping all required documentation in check, from construction phase plans to health and safety audits.

  • Ongoing support: Continually monitoring and offering guidance to ensure safety is maintained as the project evolves.

This hands-on involvement helps ensure that safety isn’t just a requirement but a priority at every stage of the build.

Challenges and Complexity

On a recent visit to Newtons Cove, the scale and challenges of the site were immediately clear. As a result, it presents a particularly demanding environment shaped by a range of unique factors, including:

  • 🌄 Cliff stabilisation and structural works

  • 🌊 Sea defence protection

  • 🏢 Coordination across a mix of residential, commercial, and public-use buildings

  • 🏖️ Working within a sensitive heritage and coastal environment

Each of these elements demands careful planning and active risk management. Our involvement helps ensure that health and safety remains central to every decision as the project progresses and evolves.

Looking Ahead

As the site moves forward, we’ll continue to support delivery across each phase of construction — keeping safety, compliance, and collaboration at the heart of the project. Our ongoing involvement ensures that evolving risks are managed effectively, and that high standards are maintained from groundwork through to completion. We’re looking forward to seeing this ambitious project take shape and supporting the team all the way to handover.

A glimpse of what’s to come – a unique blend of waterfront homes, leisure spaces, and local amenities, thoughtfully designed to complement the coastal setting.
