The Erith Park development in south east London which saw the creation of almost 600 new homes has been shortlisted for two national housing awards.

The project will compete at the 2019 Inside Housing Development Awards in the Best Regeneration and Best Partnership categories.

The national awards ceremony will showcase the best of the best in housing development and regeneration, recognising the work of landlords, developers and architects across the UK.

Developers Orbit and Wates Residential worked with architects Broadway Malyan to transform seven dated tower blocks in the Larner Road estate into 587 medium-rise homes. It comprises 80% affordable homes, a mix of affordable rent and shared ownership.
