Battersea estate gets its formal ‘topping out’ day
The final bricks have been laid on Battersea’s Patmore Estate – part of the next wave of homes under the council’s ‘Homes for Wandsworth’ scheme.
It aims to deliver 1,000 new council homes for rent – helping to address the housing shortage and ensuring residents in overcrowded or temporary accommodation can move into a secure property they can call home.
Battersea’s Patmore Street development is delivering 57 new council rent homes along with a community room, bicycle parking and enhanced outdoor amenity space, including a children’s play area and multi-use games space.
This new housing block has been built on a classic brownfield site, previously mainly occupied by a vacant and semi-derelict non-residential building.
The new homes – which comprise 21 one-bed flats, 24 two-bed flats, eight with three bedrooms and four more that have four bedrooms – will support families of varying sizes who are registered on the council’s housing lists. Six of the homes will be fully adapted for wheelchair access.
