Plan is part of wider One Woolwich programme
Plans for a 766-home scheme in Woolwich, south-east London have been granted planning approval by Greenwich council.
Lovell will build two new developments, Trinity Park and Trinity Rise, to replace the former Morris Walk North and South estates.
The apartment blocks, designed by PRP, will be up to 13 storeys in height and fitted with PV panels and provide a mix of one, two, three and four bedroom homes. A total of 177 of the homes will be for affordable rent and 76 for shared ownership.
The plans are part of Greenwich Council’s £398m One Woolwich programme which has seen Lovell build 750 homes in the programme’s first phase, at Trinity Walk in the centre of Woolwich.
In total, the redevelopment plan will deliver 1,615 new homes over a 13-year regeneration programme.
Stuart Gibbons, regional managing director, London and Southern, at Lovell said: “We are now looking forward to getting underway on another major regeneration scheme for Woolwich which will deliver hundreds of energy efficient new homes to the borough whilst also driving job creation, apprenticeships and economic growth over the next six years.”
Demolition work of the existing blocks started in July last year and it is anticipated that the construction on the main build will look to commence in early 2022.
Richard Harvey, Partner at PRP said: “We are proud to have led a truly collaborative process with Lovell and the Royal Borough of Greenwich to re-imagine the future of Morris North and South, creating two diverse and contextually integrated neighbourhoods that are rich in character and in high-quality amenities.”
Lovell, part of Morgan Sindall, last month reported an 83% increase in revenue, amid ‘high market demand’.
