Scheme designed by Glenn Howells Architects

Transport for London and Notting Hill Genesis have been given the go-ahead to deliver more than 600 homes, of which 50% will be affordable, in Kidbrooke.

This follows the decision by London deputy mayor for planning, regeneration and skills Jules Pipe to call in the application and act as the local planning authority.

The development, which was designed by Glenn Howells Architects, will be built on a vacant four-acre site in Greenwich and will deliver 619 new homes across eight buildings.

The new homes will be a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom properties. The affordable homes being delivered as part of the plans will be a mixture of shared ownership and London Affordable Rent.

As well as providing new homes, the proposals for the site will improve and provide new amenities for the community, such as an improved transport hub and a new village square.

The village square will include shops, cafes and restaurants.

The plans for Kidbrooke, which look to regenerate an underutilised brownfield site, also include new green walkways and parts of the existing woodland being retained.
