two.1.4) Short description
The London Borough of Hackney is bringing forward housing development proposals for multiple sites as part of Hackney’s New Homes Programme (NHP). This programme will deliver new homes, non-residential uses, and public realm improvements. All sites are currently in pre-planning stages.
This new programme builds on previous housing development in Hackney that has delivered several projects of high design quality both large and small. Examples include Kings Crescent and Tower Court, both large estate regeneration projects in the north of the borough, and Chowdhury Walk, a development of 11 houses on an infill site in the east of the borough.
The NHP programme comprises fourteen infill sites ranging in size from 9 to 90 homes. The objectives of the programme are to deliver at least 400 new homes, 75% of which will be Council homes for social rent. Three of the sites are being brought forward as mixed tenure developments including private sale as well as affordable housing, and the remaining sites are 100% social rented.
This market engagement exercise seeks early market engagement to determine the optimum delivery route for two townhouse schemes within the programme (Blandford Court & Nye Bevan).
