Key Details

Overview

Aylesbury Estate is a development area in Southwark, London SE17.

The Aylesbury regeneration will provide 4,000 new homes and community and commercial buildings.

The regeneration is a long-term partnership between Notting Hill Genesis and Southwark Council. Over the lifetime of the project, they will deliver more than 3,500 new homes, half of which will be affordable housing. Of that half, 75 per cent will be available for social rent.

PHASE 1
The first development site, also known as site 1b/c, includes all the Bradenham, Arklow, Chartridge and Chiltern blocks between Bradenham Close and Portland Street. Pre-demoltion works on the empty blocks started in the summer of 2015 and a total of 830 new homes will be built over the next six years.

The first plot to be developed is no 18. This is mostly a vacant site at the new civic heart of the Aylesbury Regeneration area. It comprises two separate blocks situated around a new public square.

The development will create 122 new homes above a community facility, which includes a public library, stay and play facility and commercial space and a Health Centre with an Early Years Nursery designed by Duggan Morris Architects.

The housing mix varies from 1 bedroom flats to 3 bedroom flats and provides a range of tenures including a private sale, market rent, shared ownership and target rent. Over 50% of the homes will be affordable with the majority of those being let at social rents. In addition, the scheme will provide 23 apartments designed specifically for people over 55 years of age.

Phase 2
The first stage of Phase 2, also known as Plot 18, includes 300-313 Missenden, 57-76 Northchurch and the space to the south of Taplow. The second stage of Phase 2 includes all the Wendover, Wolverton, Winslow, Padbury, Ravenstone and Foxcote blocks as well as Brockley House. Demolition of the blocks on Plot 18 started in 2017 and over 1,000 new homes will be built across this phase.

Phase 3
Phase 3 includes all Taplow and Northchurch blocks to the west of Thurlow Street as well as 184 and 218 East Street. Demolition of the existing blocks is programmed to start in 2021 and 200 new homes will be built in this phase.
