New flats in London.
Planning application for redevelopment scheme approved
Riverside are pleased to announce that the Bromley planning committee voted in favour of the proposal to redevelop Pike Close.
This means the planning application has been approved and Riverside, along with construction partner – Countryside – will be able to proceed with the redevelopment of the estate.
Riverside are now working with Bromley council to finalise the legal agreement, which is linked to the planning permission, before work begins.
What’s next?
Planning Application Submitted to Bromley Council.
Following a consultation event with residents of Pike Close, where the final plans for the redevelopment were shared, Riverside are pleased to announce that a planning application has been submitted to Bromley Council.
Alongside this application, Riverside have made a separate application to the council for the demolition and safe removal of the ground and first floor parking podium linked to Burnt Ash Heights.
Subject to the council’s approval, this will be the first construction work to be carried out as part of the redevelopment of Pike Close, and is anticipated to start in spring 2022, as part of Phase 1.
Residents see final plans
Residents living on the estate got an opportunity to see the final designs being submitted to the council. A booklet showing plans and illustrations was sent to every home.
DisclaimerWe have created an automatic ranking system for new-build homes in London based on several critical features around the development, like schools, parks, and transport infrastructure.
We have developed this new analytical tool to calculate the scores based on the location data. Note that AutoScore values are not set by us or anyone else – everything happens automatically.
An upcoming event, organised by Riverside, will provide residents with the opportunity to meet the developer partners and gain insights into the construction plan and timeline. This gathering aims to foster transparency and engagement within the community.
Residents of the estate had the chance to review the final designs being submitted to the council. Each home received a booklet filled with plans and illustrations, ensuring everyone could see the proposed changes.
Countryside has reached a significant milestone in the construction of the reinforced concrete frame, marking a pivotal stage in the project. Scaffolding is currently being erected around the perimeter of the building, progressing floor by floor until April. Window installations have commenced this month and are slated to continue throughout the summer, while the brickwork façade is set for completion in the spring.
In the coming weeks, Countryside will actively engage with residents scheduled to move into the first new block, facilitating discussions to confirm choices on future kitchen designs. Additionally, ongoing support will be provided to residents throughout the allocation process for their new homes, ensuring a smooth transition into the vibrant community.
Residents at Pike Close have reason to be thrilled as the construction of the first new block is well underway, with completion expected by spring 2025. The momentum is building, and anticipation is high as the first batch of new homes nears readiness.
In a recent resident choices event, participants from phase one and the Resident Focus Group had the opportunity to express their preferences for kitchens in the upcoming homes. The shortlisting process has been completed, and soon, residents scheduled to move into the first block will be able to select their preferred kitchen options.
As we approach the end of 2023, heartfelt thanks are extended to residents for their continuous support throughout this year. Looking ahead to the new year, engagement will continue to be a priority, with ongoing updates on construction works and dedicated assistance for phase one residents navigating the allocation of the first new homes. Your partnership is valued as we collectively progress towards creating a thriving community at Pike Close.
