History

1.67-ha former Webbs industrial site at Blackhorse Lane. All the existing buildings on site are demolished.

2016 - the Mayor instructed the GLA to buy the former Webbs Industrial Estate - a plot of land which had stood derelict for 7 years - with the intention of finding a development partner to build more new and genuinely affordable homes for Londoners. After a record 13 bids, Catalyst were selected as the preferred bidder and subsequently agreed to collaborate on the regeneration with Nu Living (Swan Housing Group).
