A total of 188 new homes are being constructed there in three new buildings, next to existing council housing on the land between Lexden Road and Steyne Road. The new homes were approved by the council in 2023 to help tackle the borough’s affordable housing crisis. They will be let at London Affordable Rent, which is priced to meet the needs of people on lower incomes. Led by contractor O’Shea and scheduled for completion in summer 2027, the development will consist of 350 homes in total alongside commercial space. More than a third (35%) of these homes are being designated as affordable housing.
