Clarion has already been granted outline planning permission to deliver 2,800 new homes, including 740 social rented units, and 9,000sq m of commercial and community space across the three neighbourhoods in Merton.

Following the council’s decision, Clarion said it had been working closely with residents and the local community to enhance the designs, including the layouts and landscaping.

Clarion is currently developing 21 new homes on the disused garages site at Ravensbury and 134 homes on land not currently used for housing at High Path.

The housing association said every home was “earmarked for existing residents”.
