December 2020 Consultation Event
We have been working hard on the designs for the proposed rooftop extension at 2 - 20 Tomlinson Close since our last consultation events in September 2020. We would like to set up a forum to present our latest designs to you and get your views and feedback. We have set up a couple of Zoom meetings for you to join where we will present our designs and there will be time for a question and answer session afterward.

Plans for Tomlinson Close

Major Works
Tower Hamlets Homes and Tower Hamlets Council are embarking on an ambitious programme of major works to improve the quality of residential blocks across the borough ensuring that homes are warm, modern, secure and weather tight. These major works generally comprise of improvements such as replacements, repairs and maintenance, focussing on external brickwork, roofing, communal windows and internal decorations, mechanical and electrical services, structural repairs and fire protection work. These works will be undertaken on blocks 2 - 20 (evens), 1 - 31 (odds) and 22 - 68 (evens) Tomlinson Close.
Feedback received from residents at our first consultation event told us that the insultation of the buildings could look to be improved. We have noted this and will look to include this in the major works programme. Baily Garner, our appointed archictects at this stage, are undertaking surveys of the blocks to establish other works required. A schedule of works will be shared at our earliest opportunity.
Proposed Rooftop Extension
Design proposal for the rooftop extensions at 2-20 Tomlinson Close
A study conducted by the Council identified 2 - 20 Tomlinson Close as having the potential to provide new homes for our residents and will only apply to this block on this estate. The rest if the estate will receive major works as mentioned above.
Depending on the design and planning feasibility we are hoping to be able to build 6 new homes if this scheme gets the go ahead. This will mean to 2-3 floors will be added to the block with the staircase extended to provide access to the new homes. As shown in the design above, you can see the additional homes as well as the improvements that will be made to the rest of the block.
It is also proposed to add a new 4 storey side extension along the Brick Lane end of the block which will provide 3 new homes. The disused drying area at the east end of the block will be converted into a new staircase to provide access to the existing first floor and the new upper floors.
Our intention is to manufacture as much of the new rooftop homes off-site in a factory and then lift them into position. This will reduce the amount of time that workers will be onsite for and reduce a lot of noise and other disruption, meaning that residents can stay safely in their homes whilst the build is taking place.
No decision has yet been made on the rooftop extension proposal. Your feedback will inform the next steps in this scheme. Have your say by filling out our survey.
