In May 2012, LB Waltham Forest initiated a disposal process for this underused, semi-industrial site. The developer-led competition brief was to provide a mixed tenure, affordable, housing-led scheme including a doctor's surgery, which was to be leased back to the Council following completion. East Thames Housing Group and Levitt Bernstein were selected to acquire and design the site respectively in 2012.
Formal and informal meetings were held to discuss the proposals with LB Waltham Forest's planning department from the beginning of 2013. Finalised design proposals were then successfully steered through planning, with the application submitted in May 2014. As a result of funding conditions, and as the land was more polluted than anticipated, work started on site before planning was granted in March 2015.
