Construction News Image
A leading design group has been chosen to help deliver the first phase of a major housing regeneration scheme in Havering.

Havering and Wates Regeneration LLP, a joint venture (JV) between the London Borough of Havering and Wates Residential, has selected a 16-strong team to lead the regeneration of four sites across the borough;

• The Waterloo Estate and Queen Street in Romford

• Solar Serena and Sunrise Court in Hornchurch

• Napier and New Plymouth House in Rainham

The plans are part of a wider 12-year programme to provide around 3,000 homes in Havering.

The companies appointed to Phase One include BDP for landscaping and architects JTP and Conran and Partners. AECOM will provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, while GL Hearn will act as planning consultants. In addition, Peter Brett Associates will manage traffic and transport, while Clarkebond will provide civil and structural engineering expertise.

Elsewhere three architects - Pollard Thomas Edwards, Hawkins\Brown and Hunters – have been appointed to a framework for Phase Two and Three of the scheme, which will include eight sites across Romford, Hornchurch and Gidea Park. They are currently undertaking feasibility exercises.

Paul Nicholls, Managing Director of Wates Residential South, said: "We are excited to work with this talented group of designers as they will bring a high level of skill and expertise to this project. We look forward to seeing their designs and working with the council and residents in Havering as we deliver more than 3,000 homes for local people."

Council Leader Damian White added; "We are pleased that our ambitious plans to build more council homes for local people are progressing well as clearly demonstrated by these contracts being let. The level of apprenticeships is heartening too and shows how local residents will also benefit in many and varied ways as a result of the investment of our joint venture in the borough."
