East London housing estate in Walthamstow to be completely redeveloped
Walthamstow Forest Council has announced house builder Countryside is now the official development partner in the redevelopment of the Marlow Road Estate.
The council selected Countryside over Lovell, Bellway, Family Mosaic and Regenter.
The Marlow Road Estate was originally built in the 1960s; however the existing properties will be replaced with a range of properties including 400 new homes (150 of which will be affordable), flexible retail space around a public square and plaza.
The scheme will be designed by Stitch Architects and will be submitted for planning approval early in 2015 with building works anticipated to start later in the year.
Richard Cherry, Chief Executive of Countryside’s Partnerships division, said: “Our focus will be on bringing back traditional tree-lined streets that link well with the surrounding area, with active frontages providing well defined spaces for the neighbourhood to enjoy.”
