Our plans for new council homes at Corelli Road

Thank you for taking the time to view our proposals for new council homes at Corelli Road. 

These homes will be part of the Greenwich Builds programme to create 1,750 new council homes across the borough, to be let to local people on our housing waiting list, addressing the urgent need for affordable homes. 

We are inviting you to give feedback on our plans, please share your views using the survey at the bottom of the page.

Site Location

The site we are looking to build on is north-east of Zangwill Road, south-west of Wricklemarsh Road and east of Corelli Road. It is currently occupied by sixteen Council-owned garages in three rows, and an electricity substation.

The site is surrounded by a four-storey residential block to the north-east and two-storey houses to the north-west. To the south-west there is a two/three-storey house.

Three sides of the site are bordered by the rear gardens of these properties and are accessed by two existing pedestrian routes, one to the north-west and the other to the north-east.

You can see a map of the site below.


What we are proposing to build 

At Corelli Road we would like to build:

  • Four three-storey, three-bedroom houses with rear gardens and small front gardens
  • Two parking spaces
  • A front forecourt with landscaping
  • Cycle access to footpaths from the rear of the houses

The houses are three storeys in height, which is between the existing four-storey block to the north and the two-storey houses to the south. 

Bin collection could be from the garage site or Lewisham Road where there is an existing collection point for the row of terraced houses to the east.

Our plans would mean the existing garages would be demolished, however the electricity substation would stay where it is.

These homes would be built to zero carbon standards, with a contemporary design.

Below you can see a comparison of the site before and after the proposed development (NB these images are not exactly at the same scale/viewpoint).

Designs and floorplans

Sustainability

As with all Greenwich Builds homes, and in line with the Council's Carbon Neutral Plan, sustainability is a key consideration in our design. 

The homes at Corelli Road will be built to zero carbon standards, incorporating extensive insulation and air tightness measures, alongside air source heat pumps and solar panels.

This will not only make our homes extremely sustainable but will also substantially reduce running costs for tenants living in them.
