Planning permission has been granted for Phase 6 of the regeneration of South Acton Estate as part of the £600m Acton Gardens development by joint venture partners Countryside and L&Q.

The latest £80m phase of the development will deliver 308 new homes, including 138 affordable rent and intermediate, and 170 for private sale. A new community centre and youth club, with health and nursery facilities, office space, a café and retail space.

Open spaces with water features, public art and an urban park with mature trees retained, a new children's play area, and podium courtyards, will also be created.

Mike Woolliscroft, Operations Director for Countryside's Partnerships division, said: "Planning consent for Phase 6 is an extremely exciting and important milestone for the Acton Gardens masterplan. The creation of a new supermarket, a doctors, dentist, as well as fantastic community and resident facilities will transform the hub of the estate. This will further enhance Acton Gardens which is already a highly desirable place to live, with beautifully landscaped surroundings and green open spaces."

The Acton Gardens masterplan comprises 21 phases. Two phases have been delivered so far, with 273 new homes comprising houses, maisonettes and apartments, located on traditional-style streets. Work is currently underway on site on the next three phases to deliver 618 homes.  

Work will start later this year, with the first buildings and community space expected completion in autumn 2018.
