Update August 2024


Planning Approval

Following a detailed redesign of the proposals during 2024, to incorporate the governments building safety regulation changes and a stand-alone community centre and mosque, the council’s Development Committee gave their support to the application on the 12th June, recommending that planning permission be granted. This was a key milestone to cross and our thanks go to PRP Architects for all their hard work to get the application submitted on target.


Selection of a developer partner

In March 2024 the process began to select a preferred developer partner to work with us to price and deliver the construction stage of this project. This procurement process is an exercise of tendering (advertising and requesting bids), evaluating and appointing a chosen developer to work with the council. The council allowed eight weeks for potential contractors to return their bids. However bidders asked us for another four weeks to complete this bids before submitting these to the council. The closing date for the council to receive the bids was the 26th June.

The council is now in the process of clarifying and evaluating the bids. This means that the project team and other relevant teams in the council, such as finance and legal colleagues look at the content of the bids and engage in dialogue with the bidders to explore the detail of their proposals, before scoring each bidders submission. As always your Residents’ Panel has been involved along the way and the Panel chose two representatives to form part of the evaluation panel scoring the non-commercial elements of the bids. Our thanks to Robi and Eric for giving up their time so generously. Once the council has completed the evaluation process, it will appoint the highest scoring organisation, we expect this to take place in September. However, before the winning bidder can be announced publicly, there will be a period of commercial negotiation over the contract, followed by a mandatory 2 week ‘stand still period’ when all bidders are informed of the outcome and can raise any queries they may have. Hopefully an announcement will be possible in late October, but we’ll be intouch as soon as we’re able.

Buy-Backs update & selling your home back to the council

The leasehold buyback scheme is fully under way with nine resident and non-resident leasehold buybacks already complete. There are many more in the pipeline going through the selling process. As always please do make use of the Rehousing Guides which can be found within the Documents section of this page. It is also worth keeping the details of JLL (the council’s appointed valuer) at hand for when you are ready to have your property valued: contact Tim Surry on 07548 099 645 or email tim.surry@jll.com

Buy-backs update

To date 5 completions have taken place and 10 cases are going through the selling process. These flats will not be left empty but used in the meantime as temporary accommodation for households currently in less suitable and more expensive temporary accommodation.

Rehousing drop-in sessions (date for your diary!)

The team are aware that while plenty of residents are eager to engage in the rehousing process, many residents feel some concern about this area, given all the different aspects to think about. To try and assist you, the council is hosting two re-housing drop-in sessions where officers will be availabe for you to come and discuss your rehousing. Secure tenants will be able to talk to staff from the Lettings Team regarding decant status and their housing options. Resident and Non-resident leaseholders will be able to discuss any issues they have regarding valuation or compensation with JLL, the council’s valuers for this project. Members of the Project Team will also be in attendance to discuss any other re-housing matters.


Dates: Tuesday 16 April from 1PM - 5PM & Thursday 18 April from 4PM - 7PM

Venue: 262 Stepney Way (Redcoat building next door to the mosque)


Selling Your Property to the Council

If you are a leaseholder and have yet to have your property surveyed for the purpose of selling your home, then please contact JLL, so they can visit you and carry out a valuation. This an important step, even if you are intending to remain on the estate in one of the newly build homes. You can contact JLL by calling Tim Surry on 07548 099 645 or email tim.surry@jll.com

Programme


Harriott, Apsley, Pattison Houses - Newsletter December 2022

This year has been one of change in Tower Hamlets with the election of a new Mayor and administration which brought some new councillors and Cabinet members on board who are also keen to deliver much needed new housing in the borough. It may not feel like there has been a lot going on, but behind the scenes the team has been progressing towards securing full planning approval, bringing the newly elected Mayor up to date on scheme progress and considering alternative designs for the mosque and community centre.

Residents Panel

The Residents’ Panel has remained engaged throughout the past year, with meetings in January, May, June, September and November. They have worked hard on behalf of residents by providing useful feedback to the project team on communications with the community as well as informing officers of feelings on the estate during the ups and downs of the last year. The project team heard from the Panel about their concerns regarding the recent delay to securing planning permission and officers are pushing hard to see this confirmed in the early part of 2023.

Looking ahead to 2023

Leaseholders will be contacted in January to announce the launch of the buy-back package in February and the commencement of voluntary negotiations to acquire homes on the estate, particularly for those not wishing/eligible to take-up one of the new homes to be built. An external valuer is currently being appointed and this process is expected to be finished in January 2023; this will enable individual meetings to start with leaseholders on the valuation of their properties. For further background information on the rehousing/buy-back programme please see the ‘Key Documents’ section of the scheme’s webpage using the link below. We will be writing to you closer to the time to confirm the start of the buy-back programme and providing full details.

Upon confirmation of the planning decision in 2023, the project will move into another new phase, when we will be able to launch the rehousing programme for secure tenants. Decant status has already been approved in principle by the Common Housing Register Forum and will go live once all planning approvals are agreed between the Council and the Greater London Authority (GLA). Once the council has the seal of approval from the GLA, colleagues in the Housing Options Team will start their liaison with tenants to discuss individual decant options.

Planning Application

The Council’s Development Committee passed a resolution to award planning consent for regeneration to proceed on 21st March 2022, subject to confirmation by Greater London Authority (GLA).

The planning reference for this application is PA/21/02703 should you wish to view the planning application and associated documents on the council's planning portal.

Rehousing Documents

Following a series of tenure specific consultation workshops held in December 2020, please view the document section to view the tenure specific rehousing guides. If you have any questions on these, please contact a member of the team by emailing clichyestate@towerhamlets.gov.uk
