Owned and managed by Kingston Council, the Cambridge Road estate was built during the late 1960’s and includes a mix of low rise, high rise apartments and houses. The estate is in need of updating and the council has committed to improving the estate for current and future residents.
In 2020 with an 86% turnout and 73% ‘Yes’ vote to regenerate the entire estate, the community were in full support of the regeneration plans put forward by the council. Planning permission was granted for those plans in 2021 with the first phase of the build starting in 2022 and the first homes being ready to move into towards the end of 2024.
The regeneration, which will be delivered in partnership with Countryside Partnerships and will create 2,170 new homes, including 871 social rent properties once all 5 phases are completed. The new buildings will also include amenities such as a community centre, green streets, and outdoor spaces which will contribute to creating a vibrant and cohesive neighbourhood.
You can find more information about the regeneration plans, key contacts and the offer to residents affected by the regeneration on the CRE website here
We’re happy to be working in partnership with the regeneration team at Kingston Council to support the local community as they are affected by changes across their estate.
