London project set to "significantly improve" 1970s estate with more than 750 new homes

A regeneration specialist has announced plans to create more than 750 new homes in London with a new partnership.

Hill, as housebuilder and regeneration specialist, has formed a partnership with housing provider Home Group to work on the regeneration of a 1970s estate in Barnet.

The Douglas Bader Park estate, in Colindale, will be transformed to create more than 750 new homes.

The estate currently comprises 271 homes, which will be replaced as part of the project, with existing residents offered new housing on the same estate.

Construction on the site is planned in three phases and is set to take place over the next ten years.

Andy Hill, chief executive at Hill, commented: “We are extremely pleased to exchange contracts on this joint venture with Home Group through which we will significantly improve the quality of homes and their surroundings for existing Douglas Bader Park residents.

“The needs and aspirations of current and future residents remain central to our approach, boosted by our extensive experience in delivering successful community-led regeneration.”

Joe Cook, executive director of development at Home Group, said: “We were delighted with the response by our customers who were overwhelmingly in favour of the regeneration of Douglas Bader Park.

“We consulted extensively and listened carefully, and we will work closely with our customers and continue to listen to them throughout the lifetime of the development.

“And in doing so, I know that we and our partners Hill, will provide an estate fit for purpose and one in which the community can take pride.”
