A revised masterplan for Woodberry Down has been approved by the London borough of Hackney’s planning committee.
The plan, between partners Berkeley Homes and Genesis alongside the London borough of Hackney, will now offer an extra 3,912 homes across seven additional phases.
The revisions bring the total of new homes to around 5,550.
Also approved was a detailed planning application for phase two, comprising 670 homes.
Berkeley Homes managing director Piers Clanford said: “The regeneration of the Woodberry Down estate is an excellent example of partnership working and over the past two years we have worked very closely with our partners including, London borough of Hackney, Genesis, Woodberry Down Community Organisation and Manor House Development Trust, which have helped to form the vision for Woodberry Down, a strong mixed community where people from different cultures know and trust their neighbours; a place that is convenient, safe and beautiful; somewhere people stay and contribute – and where every individual home is well designed.”
The masterplan changes also include a more than 30% increase in public open space .
