The Design Process
In 2002, structural assessment determined that the 42 local authority housing blocks at Woodberry Down were ‘beyond economic repair’. Berkeley Homes inherited the masterplan for regeneration in 2009. In 2012 these plans were reviewed as a result of government policy, economic changes and differences between the original masterplan and the subsequent detailed proposals. A revised masterplan was informed by residents. KSS3 necessitated a new application since the outline planning permission did not allow for its proposals, and planning permission was granted in July 2012. Construction commenced that year. Affordable housing at Woodberry Down took precedence during early development. To date, 51% of the homes delivered have been affordable, against a final total of affordable homes of 41%. KSS3 is wholly private to balance this.
