Bacton regeneration has been co-designed with locals
Camden Council has picked Mount Anvil as a development partner to deliver the next 246-home phase of an estate regeneration scheme in the borough.
Starting this summer, the London-based housebuilder will work with the council and Gospel Oak residents on plans for the second phase of the Bacton Estate project.
The first phase of Bacton scheme, named Cherry Court, was completed in 2017, delivering 46 social rent homes, 20 private homes and 1 intermediate home.
Designed by Karakusevic Carson Architects in consultation with residents, the project won Building’s Housing Project of the Year award.
The current permission for the regeneration scheme for phase two includes 176 private homes, 61 social rent homes and 10 intermediate homes, as well as 260 sq m of commercial floor space.
A design review was recently undertaken to address elements that require improvement in line with legislative changes.
Darragh Hurley, chief executive of Mount Anvil, said he was “delighted” that the council had “placed their trust in us to deliver much needed quality affordable housing for the Gospel Oak community”.

“We believe public-private partnerships that care about the long-term outcomes for local communities are key to addressing the housing crisis in London,” he added.
“We’re looking forward to building trust, and working closely with the Gospel Oak community to deliver on our promises and shared vision.”
