Wates Residential<\/a> has extended its partnership with Orbit after being appointed to help deliver a \u00a39.4m project for new homes in the London Borough of Bexley<\/h2>\n

The national developer is working with the housing association to build the West Street redevelopment in Erith, south east London.<\/p>\n

The proposed scheme will see vacant buildings including a former car parts warehouse replaced with a contemporary low-rise design including seven homes for London Affordable Rent<\/a>, 14 homes for London Living Rent and 21 homes for Shared Ownership sale.<\/p>\n

The plans also include a car park with electric charging points and large community garden.<\/p>\n

The development of the site forms part of Orbit\u2019s long-term strategy for delivering high quality new homes in Erith and the wider region, and will contribute towards improvements to the quality of the streetscape and the overall appearance of the local area.<\/p>\n

As part of the West Street project, Wates Residential and Orbit<\/a> have also pledged to provide employment and training opportunities for local residents, delivering a lasting legacy for the community. Commitments include the provision of work experience placements, careers advice events, promoting and working with local social enterprises, and DIY workshops for local people to learn skills such as plumbing and tiling.<\/p>\n

It follows Orbit and Wates Residential\u2019s successful regeneration of Larner Road into the award-winning Erith Park in Bexley. The former council estate was transformed and rebuilt into 588 new homes, with tower blocks replaced by a low to medium rise development of apartments and houses for affordable rent, shared ownership and market sale.<\/p>\n

Erith Park has already led to a substantial reduction in crime thanks to a major community-led effort and police crime prevention techniques. It now has 80% less crime compared to the rest of the ward it sits within, according to the Metropolitan Police.<\/p>\n

Wates Residential has also been appointed to help deliver Orbit\u2019s proposed \u00a395m regeneration of the Arthur Street housing estate in Bexley.\u00a0The proposed scheme<\/a> will feature around 280 new homes, of which 80% will be for affordable rent and shared ownership.<\/p>\n

Paul Nicholls, managing director of Wates Residential, said:\u00a0\u201cWe are delighted to be able to continue our award-winning work with Orbit, which has already led to more than 700 new homes in Bexley either being built or in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to getting started on the West Street project, which will not only deliver more crucial housing for the area but will also lead to increased employment and training opportunities for local residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shina Olalekan, head of development at Orbit, said: \u201cWe are pleased to once again be partnering with Wates to deliver much needed affordable housing to local people in Bexley. Wates understands our aim of \u2018building thriving communities\u2019 and we look forward to delivering more high quality homes for local families who need them.\u201d<\/p>\n
