Wembley contractor Formation Design and Build has secured Gateway 2 approval with housing association Hyde for a 182-home affordable housing scheme at Charlton Riverside in Greenwich. Approval of the housing scheme near the Thames Barrier marks Hyde’s first project to clear the enhanced Gateway 2 process. The affordable homes scheme allocates around two thirds for social rent and the remaining homes aimed at first-time buyers through affordable home ownership. Formation chief executive Sean O’Brien added: “This approval demonstrates the value of early and close collaboration between Hyde, Formation Design and Build, and the wider project team. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with Hyde, as we move into the construction phase and deliver much-needed affordable homes in Greenwich.”
