New affordable homes for Waltham Forest 21.03.25

We recently celebrated the completion of high-quality residential homes within our Wood Street Families and Homes Hub project for the London Borough of Waltham Forest. This mixed-use scheme provides 67 new, affordable homes (29 for social rent and 38 for shared ownership) a café and a community hub which when complete will provide much needed space for local residents to access family and housing services.

In response to Waltham Forest Council’s declaration of a climate emergency, the project endeavours to exceed conventional sustainability standards and demonstrates our approach to designing high-quality homes regardless of tenure. This benchmark project for Waltham Forest sets a high standard for the design of future affordable housing. A big thank you to Waltham Forest, Hill Group and the wider design team for their contributions to this exemplar project and ensuring a collaborative spirit throughout.
