A regeneration project across the London borough of Waltham Forest, is set to put the London Plan vision into operation ultimately bringing 18,000 new homes to the area.
Waltham Forest Council granted permission for work to begin on the former Homebase site in 2021, which will feature energy-efficient buildings, environmental improvements, and the planting of new trees to create green spaces. The Patchworks development is currently under construction, with a target completion date of March 2025. Significant work has already been completed onsite, with the steel frame systems installed by Keylon Interiors.
The Patchworks development is part of this larger-scale project, and will offer around 580 new homes, combining affordable housing, community and commercial space with gardens and play areas. The scheme is part of a plan to meet ambitious targets set by the council to solve the growing demand for housing in the borough.
The development will consist of a mix of four to seven-storey buildings. There will also be a focus on creating community amenities and leisure spaces, including cycle paths, a cycle hire scheme, EV charging points, and a mobility hub. Groundwork commenced in February of this year, as work began on Blocks A and C of the project.
Light steel framing specialists, Voestalpine Metsec will provide site inspections and reports as part of the design service and collateral warranty. The development is being managed by Inland Homes, an AIM-listed specialist house builder and brown field developer dedicated to achieving excellence in sustainability and design.
