Carpenters Estate

The Carpenters Estate in Stratford, London, is undergoing a significant regeneration to provide over 2,000 high-quality, sustainable homes. Approximately 50% of these homes will be allocated for social rent, addressing the pressing need for affordable housing in the area.

The upcoming Carpenters Estate is designed to foster a 15-minute neighbourhood, ensuring that residents have convenient access to essential amenities such as community services, educational institutions, and commercial facilities. This initiative aims to enhance the overall quality of life for its inhabitants.

Populo Living has successfully secured a £3.83 million Decarbonisation Grant, marking a significant milestone in accelerating the delivery of the first phase of the Carpenters Estate Regeneration project.

The Carpenters Estate restoration and regeneration programme aims to provide 2,172 homes that are affordable for local residents, with at least 50 percent available at an affordable rent. This initiative aligns with the Council's broader Just Transition climate action plan, which includes retrofitting 314 existing homes (44 percent) on the estate to the highest environmental standards.

The phased building programme table below outlines the number of units and their start/completion dates for all buildings within the masterplan.

The Planning Decisions Committee of the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) has given unanimous approval to ambitious masterplan proposals for the £1bn Carpenters Estate.

Following a committee meeting on Tuesday 27th February 2024, the plans received the green light, marking a significant milestone in the redevelopment of the estate. Details of the meeting agenda can be accessed for further insight into the decision-making process.
