Outline planning permission was granted to LHA_ASRA in 2010, and full planning consent is a mere formality. All of the sites needed to construct new houses, flats and apartments have been cleared and made ready for building to begin in earnest, and the detailed plans for the new properties have been drawn up and are ready for the preferred construction company Lovell (East) to begin their work. The only thing that’s stopping the social housing scheme moving on is the difficulty of obtaining new Kick Start funding which is urgently needed to continue the momentum to take the project forward.
Providing new kick-Start funding is made available this year 2012, Phase 2 will see about fifty new affordable social houses being built on the site. Phase 2 will also have more grass open space, and will be environmentally friendly. Phase 3 lies at the centre of our Estate were 23 new homes will be built. Phase 4 is next which will see a about 50 houses being constructed, including a row of large family homes (shown in pink) facing out onto St Matthias Road. The grey blocks indicate the positions of the retained housing of the existing residents.
