Resident Update
New homes at Sedgemere Road
Our updated plans to provide a high-quality, design-led community at the heart of Abbey Wood.
Resident Update
Earlier this year, Abbey Wood Sedgemere Limited presented initial proposals for an exciting new rental community at 4-8 Sedgemere Road.
Since then, the team has been working to improve the offer of the proposals so that we are able to provide of 35% affordable housing at
the site which we believe is of great importance to support local families. In order to do this, the height and overall number of properties is
proposed to be increased.
We will be presenting our updated proposals and look forward to discussing them with you at a public webinar on Wednesday 25th September 2024 at 5:30pm.
Members of the design team will be online to outline the changes to the scheme and answer questions.

OUR UPDATED PROPOSALS
The building is now proposed as a part seven storey, part twenty-five storey building of 228 homes. With these changes, the proposals have improved in many other regards allowing for a more generous offering to the wider improvements to the Abbey Wood. We are now including a new pedestrian connection between Sedgemere Road and Harrow Manorway via a public walkway through the site. We have also conducted a re-design exercise of the architecture using materials that characterise the local area with details inspired by the Iron Gates of Lesnes Abbey to give the building a distinct local identity. To find out more about how the proposals have been updated, please join us at our resident update website – You can register for the website here.
