Aylesbury Estate Regeneration Receives Second Recommendation for Approval

Aylesbury Estate Regeneration for Notting Hill Genesis (NHG), has once again received a recommendation to grant planning permission from the Southwark Council Planning Committee.

We are leading the multi-disciplinary team as masterplan architects for Phase 2B, collaborating with Haworth Tompkins, Sergison Bates, East, and Architecture Doing Place to deliver a diverse and vibrant neighbourhood. Each of the five buildings will be designed by different practice, offering a rich architectural variety and a wide range of housing types, from mansion blocks and courtyard apartments to maisonettes and high-rise homes, tailored to suit the needs of a diverse community.

The significant planning step reflects the strength of the collaborative design process and the shared ambition to create a sustainable, inclusive, and high-quality urban environment for the future of the Aylesbury Estate.  The updated scheme will now deliver 640 new homes, including an increase in social rent homes from 163 to 173, reaffirming the project’s commitment to inclusive and affordable housing.

In addition to residential development, the scheme includes over 400 sqm of non-residential space, designed to support local amenities and foster economic activity within the community. The renewed vision addresses evolving policy priorities and community concerns, particularly around the provision of social housing and the importance of accessible open space.

Maccreanor Lavington’s Associate Director, Tiago Costa Jorge said: “Phase 2B is a key step in realising the long-term vision for the Aylesbury Estate masterplan. Our approach replaces the estate’s modernist layout with a characterful, human-scaled neighbourhood that draws
inspiration from the wider neighbourhood. At the heart of the new framework is Bagshot Park, a generous green space designed to welcome both new and existing residents. The revised masterplan reintroduces a walkable street network, strengthens connections to neighbouring homes and amenities, and creates a series of public spaces that support everyday life and foster a sense of community.”
