Great new homes in a great new Gascoigne neighbourhood

Stunning new plans to build 446 homes, a new community centre, playgrounds and treelined streets and courtyards will be submitted to the council for planning permission this month.

The new homes in the Coverdales and Ripple Corner areas of the Gascoigne neighbourhood feature one to three-bedroom flats and family friendly town houses with rents from as low as £160 a week.

The designs for the Coverdales area feature flats arranged in mansion blocks at each end, with lower rise town houses facing each other in an old east end style street to help foster neighbourliness.

There will be a landmark building on Ripple Road and, next door, a large, flexible community centre with a community kitchen, will offer great views over the new Gascoigne Park from a roof terrace.

The new plans also include a new greenway and dedicated cycle routes plus garden courtyards and an urban woodland.

Jennie Coombs, Head of Affordable Housing at Be First, said: “Local people have been front and centre in shaping our plans for the latest phase of the redevelopment.

“We’re proud of our community spirit and it’s something we want to retain in the new newighbourhood as our ambition is to make sure the new Gascoigne is the most affordable, liveable, family friendly place to live in London.”
