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.

Regeneration scheme update to all residents - updated on 23rd September 2022

Below is an extract from the letter that was sent from the Housing Regeneration Team to all the residents from Harriott, Apsley & Pattison House.

The council remains committed to redeveloping the estate to deliver good quality affordable homes, as well as homes for private ownership and a new mosque and community centre for the Redcoat Community Centre & Mosque.

Over the past few months, the new administration has spent time understanding and reviewing the regeneration proposals for the estate, which won support at the council’s Development Committee in March 2022. The architect, PRP, has been asked to explore whether there are any other suitable alternative design solutions for the mosque without reducing the number of new homes in the approved scheme.

Any design alterations considered and supported by the new administration will be shared with local residents and a series of community engagement and consultation events will follow.

We understand the concerns some residents have had about the potential delay to the HAP redevelopment and the importance of keeping local residents informed as the scheme progresses. Our current estimate of a start on site in summer 2023 is likely to change once we are able to finalise what design changes will be needed and we will update residents as soon as this is known.

We want to minimise unnecessary delay to the process in order to start the delivery phase as soon we can. We are looking forward to starting the development partner selection process in early 2023, following a report to Cabinet later this year.
