Infill plans will deliver 189 new homes at canalside De Beauvoir Estate in first phase of redevelopment
Henley Halebrown and Stephen Taylor Architects have been granted planning permission for 189 new homes on undeveloped and underused land on the De Beauvoir Estate in Hackney.
The infill scheme is the first phase in redevelopment of the estate, which is a stone’s throw from Henley Halebrown’s Stirling Prize shortlisted Hackney New Primary School and 333 Kingsland Road project.
The new De Beauvoir homes will be delivered across six buildings and will also provide 593sq m of non-residential floorspace as well as additional green spaces and new play areas.
Fifty percent of the new homes will be affordable, with 59 being social rented homes and the remaining 36 shared ownership.
Hackney Council is the client for the scheme. Borough deputy mayor and cabinet member for delivery, inclusive economy and regeneration Guy Nicholson said: “Hackney is facing a real need for new homes that meet the needs of our growing community. Many families in or around the De Beauvoir Estate live in homes that don’t meet their needs.
“These plans will not only provide modern, suitable and genuinely affordable homes within the community, but are also part of a wider investment to provide improved homes and better community facilities so the whole estate can benefit.”
Members of Hackey’s planning committee resolved to approve the proposals at a meeting in July, but the decision was subject to referral to Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
