Hartopp Point & Lannoy Point

Hammersmith & Fulham, London - In a bold move to address the pressing need for affordable housing, Hammersmith & Fulham Council has announced plans to deliver 134 new energy-efficient homes. The initiative, spearheaded by the council, prioritizes the needs of local residents by ensuring that 84% of the new homes will be designated as affordable housing.

These much-needed homes will be situated within the Aintree estate, occupying the former site of Hartopp Point & Lannoy Point towers, which were demolished due to health and safety concerns. The strategic location of the development underscores the council's commitment to revitalizing communities and providing accessible housing options for residents.

The new homes will incorporate cutting-edge energy-efficient features, aligning with the council's sustainability objectives while offering residents comfortable and environmentally friendly living spaces. Furthermore, the majority of these homes will be reserved for local residents, ensuring that those in need have access to affordable housing opportunities within their community.

This ambitious initiative underscores Hammersmith & Fulham Council's dedication to addressing the housing crisis and fostering inclusive, vibrant neighborhoods. By prioritizing affordability and sustainability, the council aims to create a thriving and equitable community where all residents can thrive and prosper.

Higgins started the main construction works on site in October 2023.

Upcoming works include:

Installing dust, noise and vibration monitors around site
Reducing site levels by machine dig
Demolishing the existing brick planters adjacent to Dawes and Pellant Road
Moving the crushed concrete on site to form a base for the piling rig which will be used to drill in the foundations for the new blocks
Carrying out utility works next to Dawes Road. Thames Water will need to dig the pavement in some areas to connect the site to the mains water pipe
Setting up cabins facing Dawes Road and installing a new access road. The main entrance to the site will eventually be located on Dawes Road
We are planning to carry out foundation works between November and January. This will involve holes being drilled into the ground to form the foundation piles for the new homes. After the works are completed the drainage ducts and ground slabs will be installed
