More than 150 homes to be built in Merton

Housing association Clarion has been given the green light for more than 150 homes in south-west London.

Merton council OK’d the firm’s plans for 179 homes at a plot in Mitcham along with a community centre. Clarion said more than 50% of the homes, a mix of one- and two-bedroom flats and two-, three-and four-bedroom houses, will be affordable.

The scheme forms part of Clarion’s wider regeneration project of Merton, which involves building 2,800 homes and 9,000m² of commercial and retail space across three neighbourhoods.

HTA is architect on the first phase of 21 homes with the entire scheme due to be completed in 2026.
