New Homes and Neighbourhood Space on Abbey Road
As part of the ongoing Gascoigne Estate Regeneration, Be First is undertaking a significant venture to build new homes and rejuvenate public spaces on Abbey Road. We aspire to create high-quality housing and establish safe, accessible, and sociable community spaces for everyone to enjoy.
This page is dedicated to keeping you informed and involved in the process. Your input and feedback will be crucial in shaping our community's future.
Our mission involves several key objectives:
- Creating welcoming and inclusive spaces for residents.
- Designing safe and accessible play and community-focused public areas.
- Balancing the needs for walking, cycling, and vehicular traffic, including driving and parking.
- Promoting sustainable, low waste, bio-diverse, and healthier neighbourhoods.
- Building practical park facilities for easy maintenance and management.
The development obtained outline planning permission in 2019 (click here to view) and is to take place at the junction of Abbey Road and Hardwicke Street, including the plot next to the school on the corner of Abbey Road. Be First has appointed Citizens Design Bureau, Haworth Tompkins Architects, and other consultants, to work with the Gascoigne community to create the new residential development and green spaces.
