We are working in partnership with Wates Residential in a joint venture to deliver over 3,500 much-needed new homes across 12 existing housing sites within the borough.
The programme focuses on delivering investment, new homes and ‘designing out crime’ on housing sites that need it most.
We aim to leave a lasting legacy for our communities, supporting our vision that everyone deserves a great place to live.
Our 12 Sites programme will double the amount of affordable homes on these sites overall, council rented homes will increase by 70 percent and we’ll create just under 400 new shared ownership homes, as well as new homes to buy.
Every Council tenant that moved from their home to enable the regeneration works is guaranteed the right to return to a brand new property.
Phase one of the 12 Sites Regeneration Programme
Waterloo Estate
The largest of our 12 Sites projects, the Waterloo Estate in Romford will be regenerated to include 1,380 high-quality new homes, including 3 and 4 bed family-sized homes, plus commercial workspace, play space, a raingarden and a community village green.
Details of the first phase of the development were approved at the Council’s Strategic Planning Committee meeting on 17 June 2021.
