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 greater public benefits including a new pedestrian walkway through the site to Sedgemere Road, an improved publicly accessible garden and play space and improved affordable housing offer 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.

These updated proposals were consulted on in September and following that submitted.

The application has now been validated and the planning application number is 24/02488/FULM. The full details of the application are available. via this link

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.

Our new plans build on an existing planning consent to provide a high-quality, design-led community at the heart of Abbey Wood. We propose to develop approximately 200 ‘build to rent’ homes (BTR) – including new affordable homes, in a scheme of up to 21 storeys – about 73m in height. As part of the growing local centre around Abbey Wood station, we will also enhance the public realm on site and provide generous landscaping.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Danescroft is bringing forward this development on behalf of Abbey Wood Sedgemere Limited, who own the site and are funding the project. The building has been designed by GRID Architecture, and the urban planning has been carried out by CBRE. Also involved are EDLA (Landscaping), Steer (Transport), and Cratus Group (Public Consultation).

We will continue to update this website with news of the application. If you have any questions about the submitted proposals, or would simply like to be kept in touch, please contact us via email [email protected], post FREEPOST – CRATUS COMMUNICATIONS or through the form below.
