Waterside Places and partners Haringey Council and the Greater London Authority (GLA), have agreed a deal to deliver 191 new council homes at the Hale Wharf scheme on the banks of the River Lee Navigation.

In what will be the next generation of council homes, all will be available for rent in six blocks, with all meeting adaptability standards, with 27 being wheelchair accessible. McLaren Construction has been named as the contractor for the final phase of the scheme and are due to start imminently.

Haringey Council, who have an ambitious programme to deliver a new generation of council homes to local residents, will identify disabled families and individuals on the housing register with specific needs, with a view to creating bespoke homes for them at Hale Wharf. New tenants will have the opportunity to live in stunning location beside the River Lea, overlooking Paddock Community Nature Park and the Walthamstow wetlands.

The first phase of development saw 249 homes delivered, with 108 delivered for rent through leading landlord, Grainger plc, and the remaining 141 - known as Navigation Point - for sale on the open market. A pedestrian bridge over the River Lee Navigation has also been installed, providing convenient access to transport infrastructure, while connecting communities together.


Michael Orr, development director at Waterside Places, said: "As a business, we believe that everyone deserves to live in a great place and at Hale Wharf, we've been creating a vibrant, diverse and connected waterside community here that's accessible to all.

"Together with partners and our tenacious teams, we’re working hard to repurpose this key area of the borough to leave a positive, long-lasting legacy, drive investment and opportunities, provide tenure choice for residents, as we breathe new life into this area of Tottenham Hale together."

Haringey Council’' ambitious home building programme aims to deliver 1,000 high-quality, sustainable, affordable homes for local residents by March 2022. These next-generation homes will be specially designed to meet the needs of the community and enable residents to put down roots in the borough.

Haringey Council's cabinet member for house building, placemaking and development, Cllr Ruth Gordon, said: "This final phase at Hale Wharf will substantially contribute to the council's ambitious initiative to provide high quality, desirable and genuinely affordable housing for local residents; and all set in the fabulous surroundings of Tottenham Marshes, the Paddock and Walthamstow Wetlands.

"The bespoke elements of the council’s housing programme is part of our strategy to build inclusive communities. As this project moves forward, we will continue to work with prospective residents to ensure individual needs and requirements are identified and supported throughout the delivery.

"These homes are part of our ambitious pledge to have a thousand homes starting on site by March 2022."
