Barnfield Hub: public consultation on proposals for new council homes

Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to view our proposal for new council homes on the Barnfield Hub site. The new homes form part of the Greenwich Builds programme to deliver 750 new council homes across the borough.

We are inviting you to give feedback on our plans, so please fill in the survey at the bottom of the page once you have read the overview and accompanying documents. There is an option within the survey to ask us questions, should you wish to do so. We will answer those with a follow up post, so please opt in when asked to receive a notification advising when the answers have been posted.

The general timeline of the public consultation can be found here.

Please note that we are sharing our proposals for the hub at a very early stage, so there is likely to be substantial change before the final designs are submitted for planning approval.

Where we're building

The site we're developing is located between Mayplace Lane and Barnfield Road. It currently houses the Barnfield Hub community centre prefab building and playground. A new home for the Barnfield Hub is included in our plans for the site.

The surrounding area features a mixture of architectural styles including 1950s apartment blocks as well as Victorian, Post-war to 1970s buildings. There is a mixture of materials and colours such as Red Brick, Buff Brick, London Stock and render; there are also some interesting brick bonds used in the area such as English, Flemish and Stretcher.

What we're proposing to build

We are proposing to build 30 Homes in a block that rises from four storeys on the Barnfield Road side to six storeys at Herbert Road. Some key features are listed below:

18 one-bedroom apartments including a wheelchair accessible apartment

Four two-bedroom apartments including two wheelchair accessible apartments

Eight three-bedroom apartments

A main residential entrance off Barnfield Road to the east under a colonnade, with secondary entrance provided to the western core

A new single storey home for the community hub within the footprint of the building

Three car parking spaces within the building, accessed internally and externally from Mayplace Lane

Internal residential cycle stores

Shared outside space provided on the fourth floor
