Project overview

About the development

Our vision is to regenerate the Avondale Drive Estate to deliver a high quality design, mixed tenure, development that will provide a significantly improved living environment for existing tenants and leaseholders; as well as for new residents.

Our proposals will optimise and add to the council’s own masterplan scheme for the site; providing 296 homes across 3 phases of development, and which follows the council’s decant strategy that enables as many existing tenants and leaseholders as possible, who wish to remain living on the site, to move properties once.

The proposed development will also include new public realm and amenity space (linking to Hitherbroom Park to the north), and secure car and cycle parking. The development will provide 296 homes including 269 council rented homes, alongside homes for returning leaseholders and private sale. The majority of the council rented and returning leaseholder homes will be delivered in the earlier phases of the development; and the final phase will include the majority of the private units. The scheme delivers a mix of sizes and types, including 1-bed, 2-bed, 3-bed flats, as well as 3-bed and 4-bed duplexes.
