Planning consent has been granted for a new mixed-use development of 436 homes as well as community and commercial space.
Richard Cherry, Chief Executive of Countryside’s Partnerships division, said: “It is great news to have been given the go ahead for our plans for Marlowe Road and we look forward to getting on with the delivery of this new and improved neighbourhood. The new scheme will bring with it high-quality housing for local people, as well as a much improved public realm with safe and inviting open spaces for the local community to enjoy.”
Cllr Khevyn Limbajee, Cabinet Member for Housing at Waltham Forest Council, comments: “This regeneration scheme will dramatically improve both the housing and the area as a whole thanks to the ambitious plans that have now been approved. The issues with Marlowe Road have been long-standing and the scope of the scheme underlines the wholesale changes that were required to reclaim this community and provide it with the housing it requires to take it well on into the next century and beyond.
“It may seem that the planning consent is just the start of this journey, but for those of us involved, and not least the residents, this is just the latest milestone in a process that has been developed over many years. It is however obviously a key juncture in the scheme and we can now all move forward together with confidence to see the vision we have developed become reality.”
