Stonegrove
Overview
Stonegrove and Spur Road Estates are situated in the north–west of the Borough adjoining the borough of Harrow. They were built between the mid 1950’s and the 1970’s. The Estates are surrounded by traditional suburban housing to the east, west and south, and to the north lies the green belt. The estates have many of the problems associated with post war public housing, including poor access and parking arrangements, and are not suitable for improvement.
The proposals
The Regeneration Scheme will create a revitalised neighbourhood at the site of the existing Stonegrove and Spur Road Estates in Edgware. It will deliver 999 new homes, a new Academy, a new community hall and Trust, improved parking provision, new open spaces and a new church. In addition there will be new roads and improvements to the Spur Road Green Lanes and Stonegrove and Spur Road junctions.
The regeneration scheme is being carried out in partnership with Family Mosaic Housing Association (external link) and Barratt Homes (external link).
In October 2008 the council granted outline planning consent and construction work started on the first housing phase in January 2009.
The new London Academy has been completed. In June 2008 62 new affordable homes at Penniwell Close were completed in and are now occupied by secure tenants decanted from Goldsmith, Collinson and Powis Courts. The Principal Development Agreement for the main scheme was signed September 2008 and planning consent was issued 6 October 2008.
Phase 1 has been on site since early 2009 and is due for completion in June 2010. This will produce 117 new homes (65 for social rent, 17 intermediate and 35 for private sale).
