PLANNING approval has been granted for yet more affordable new homes and residents’ at Copley Hanwell W7, the regeneration of the existing Copley Close estate.

Broadway Living, Ealing Council’s developer arm, is now able to provide 202 new homes in Phase 6 of the scheme – 66 of them for social rent, discounted market rent or shared ownership, and the remaining for private sale with affordability schemes likely to be available.

Phase 6, currently known as Copley Castle Bar, will comprise contemporary new homes surrounding a landscaped central square, a first for the neighbourhood.  

The first phase of homes for private sale, known as Alton Court, will complete this Spring, with only a few homes left for sale, and work continues on the refurbishment of existing homes.

Building work for Phase 6 is expected to begin in early 2019.

David Colley, Regeneration Manager at Ealing Council, said: “The change at Copley Close has already been remarkable, turning an ageing estate into somewhere the residents – current and new – will be proud to live. The extended planning permission will let us go even further."

Broadway Living’s business model means that, using the profits made on private sales and rental properties, it can deliver more affordable housing for Ealing residents.
