About this article
Enabling works start on ex-B&Q site with first homes due to launch later this year
The project will transform a 5.6-acre brownfield site, once a chalk quarry and more recently home to a B&Q store and car park, into a mid-rise mixed-use neighbourhood of eight residential buildings ranging from six to 21 storeys. Alongside the homes will be more than 8,500 sq ft of commercial space and 1.1 acres of publicly accessible green space, helping reconnect the site with Sutton town centre. Berkeley is pitching the scheme as a high-amenity development, with a gym, resident lounge, media room, children’s corner, pet spa and co-working and meeting spaces, along with roof gardens and landscaped communal areas. Marcus Blake, managing director of Berkeley, said: “This development, which will see us transform a former chalk quarry, is exactly the sort of large-scale project that demonstrates what Berkeley does best. “By bringing our placemaking expertise to this underused brownfield site, we will deliver a vibrant new community that reflects how people want to live today.” Enabling works are now underway for the first phase of 159 homes.
