Notting Hill Housing has been announced as the preferred bidder by London Borough of Havering to form a joint venture that will deliver 700 homes in its Rainham and Beam Park housing zone.
The sites along the A1306 are close to the new Beam Park rail station, school, nursery and medical centre and will provide a mixture of tenures: affordable housing across tenures for affordable rent, shared ownership, market sale and private rent.
Andrew Blake-Herbert, chief executive of Havering Council, said: “We are in discussions with Notting Hill to form a joint venture that will play a vital part in our vision for the positive transformation of a large part of Rainham along the A1306.
“This area is one of the last locations in London where truly affordable houses can be built for local people looking to settle and raise their families, alongside apartments and starter homes.
