HTA and Southern Housing Group won the ballot for the stock transfer and have developed a complex layout which responds to tenant's consultation, decanting and demolition programme.
Phase 1 provides 140 units (a combination of houses, maisonettes and flats), and at the end of three phases, 280 new affordable rent homes will be completed.
Houses are built in traditional cavity wall masonry, while the flats have a concrete structure with a brick and render cladding with tiled pitched roofs.
New landscaping to the park and the clock tower as the focal point complete the regeneration. HTA worked with Higgins Construction to develop the detailed design and production information.
The new dwellings are designed to Lifetime Homes standards and Eco Homes ‘Very Good’. The layout meets Secured by Design in area where at present there is a high level of crime and anti-social behaviour.
