Greenwich Council to move forward with estate regeneration plans
Plans to redevelop council estates in Greenwich borough are to move forward according to a new report before the authority’s cabinet.
A meeting next week covers a £1.3 million allocation agreed two years ago for an “Estate Regeneration Programme” which was “intended to support the identification of estates with regeneration potential and to begin early resident and market engagement.”
Of the £1.3 million previously agreed around £800,000 is to be spent in 2026/27.
In recent weeks the council released their draft Local Plan determining likely development sites in future years and specifically included estates at Woolwich Dockyard.
Estates currently include 670 homes in the area mentioned with the Local Plan, with it stating 1,700 homes are possible.
Previous estate regeneration projects have seen a net reduction in council housing which coincided with a large increase of households placed in extremely expensive temporary accommodation.
Other estates are possibly set to be included in the programme. A survey is to be undertaken in the near future in some areas on future plans. An “Estate Regeneration Engagement Framework will be codesigned with a tenant and leaseholder Task and Finish Group, to support
open, honest information-sharing and to build trust throughout the process.”
No exact decisions have yet been made on what estates will be included in any redevelopment. Woolwich Dockyard is however the only big estate estate contained within the council’s own plan for future developments so appears the most likely candidate.
No that should be left, why do you want more of our land to build leave some open space you are closing us in with all of high block there is enough flats and houses built and still homeless
This redevelopment of woolwich will push the current residents and townspeople out…..i will eat my hat if they follow through on even a % of affordable housing claims. The rest of the developments are designed for people who work in central London and only use their homes to sleep in…. Nothing designed for the local people who has called woolwich their home for generations…these people will be shifted away from their communities when all the city lot move here, let’s hope I’m wrong about this
What a waste of time we all know what the latest make over never achieved the place ant the problem it’s the homeless and drug dealers make it make sense look at the latest make over in Woolwich it was only appreciated for about a week
Is Greenwich council ‘havin a larf?’ How far does it think that £1.3 million will go?
@Phil: the regenerations are often used to weed out problem tenants or those who need support. Only the “wealthiest” tenants able to meet the new rent will be allowed back.
@anonymous201486. You are correct in what you say. As part of redevelopment schemes by Local Authorities including Greenwich we are seeing some of the social.housing hones reolaced by part buy part rent homes which lical.people cannot afford. Tbis has happened on the Trinity Estate which was the old Morris Walk Estate in Charlton.
