This initiative reflects a significant investment in urban regeneration, addressing housing quality and energy efficiency in London. The project aims to enhance living conditions and sustainability, aligning with broader goals of improving housing standards and reducing carbon footprints in the community.
Key Takeaways
- Four firms have been awarded a £570m contract for estate improvements.
- The project aims to upgrade over 14,500 homes to Decent Homes standards by 2028.
- Significant energy efficiency upgrades are planned, including insulation and new windows.
The borough has split the programme into four geographic patches in a bid to speed up delivery and tighten accountability. Equans Regeneration will cover the west of the borough, United Infrastructure takes central areas, Hugh LS McConnell will handle the east (south), and Mulalley and Company has secured the east (north) neighbourhood. The 10-year push aims to bring every property up to Decent Homes standard by 2028 and lift overall EPC ratings across the stock. Planned upgrades ramp up sharply over the next three years, with 987 homes set for works in 2026/27, rising to 1,772 in 2027/28 and 1,929 in 2028/29. In total, more than 14,500 homes will be improved in the first three years alone. Around 400 properties will be lifted to EPC C as part of the energy drive. The scope of works spans external wall and loft insulation, new energy-efficient doors and windows, kitchen and bathroom renewals, roof replacements, fire safety enhancements and revamped communal areas.
