Transport for London (TfL), Vistry Partnerships London and Peabody are working on proposals that could deliver 98 new affordable homes in Barkingside.

The homes will be a range of one, two and three bed homes and will be delivered across three buildings. They will be a mixture of both shared ownership and London Affordable Rent.

Jonathan Cornelius, Head of Property Development at TfL, said: “We’re excited to be working with Vistry Partnerships and Peabody as they share these new plans to deliver a new affordable housing scheme in Barkingside, which will help to urgently tackle the capital’s shortage of homes. We look forward to engaging with the local community and stakeholders about these proposals.”

The proposed residential development predominantly covers the area used as a builder’s yard next to Barkingside Tube station and will be car-free for residents, with the exception of blue badge parking spaces. As a result of this there will be new pedestrian crossings along Station Approach and the proposals would also contribute towards future play space at the Fairlop Waters Country Park.

Ray Toft, Managing Director, Vistry Partnerships London, said: “Barkingside Yard is a fantastic example of true partnership working, we are coming together with TfL and Peabody Housing Trust to create new homes in an all-affordable housing development, which can only be a good thing for the local people here in Redbridge. We are really excited to continue our work in the Borough and look forward to working with our partners now and in the future.”
