Two estate regeneration schemes were approved recently and will provide over 6,000 homes in London.

The Royal Borough of Greenwich approved the latest Planning Application from Berkeley Homes East Thames for its Kidbrooke Village scheme.

It will see an additional 302 homes across the masterplan (4,966 to 5,268) which include an additional 106 affordable homes of which 82 will be for London Affordable Rent. It also will see additional public realm, park enhancements and a bespoke pavilion building within the Metropolitan Open Land for the London Wildlife Trust created.

Bob McCurry, Planning Director at Barton Willmore, said: “Having worked with Berkeley on Kidbrooke since its inception more than a decade ago, it's been a pleasure to have helped support this latest approval. Its ongoing progress reinforces why it is deemed to be one of the capital's most successful estate regeneration schemes.”

In addition to this scheme a resolution to grant planning permission was granted for 1,108 homes via the regeneration of the Alton Estate in Roehampton. The team drove the preparation of this hybrid planning application, which proposes a phased mixed-use development comprising 1,108 new homes, including 261 affordable homes, along with 9,377 sqm of non-residential floorspace, within buildings of between 1 and 9 storeys.

Leigh Johnson, Head of Master Development & Design at Homes England, said: “Barton Willmore have been ‘instrumental’ in securing the Alton Estate consent - well done to all the team and wbc - a great project which will have a huge positive impact on residents new and old.”

The post-war social housing estate, famed for its brutalist architecture and spectacular setting next to an array of listed buildings and Richmond Park, will be transformed with the aim of delivering hugely enhanced quality of life for existing and new residents, through the delivery of high quality homes.
