De Beauvoir

In De Beauvoir, we’re making the most of underused council land. We plan to build almost 300 much needed new homes in the coming years. They will be across De Beauvoir Estate and Blandford Court garages at Lockner Estate.

 

De Beauvoir Estate

Since 2018, we’ve been working with residents to develop plans to build new homes on the De Beauvoir Estate, giving priority to new council homes for current residents. Our planning sub-committee granted planning permission in July 2022 for the first phase. This includes around 189 new homes. Since then we’ve been working on options to build these homes and progress a second phase of new homes.

It’s not just about housing, we’ll also:

  • improve some existing homes
  • provide better public spaces
  • build a new neighbourhood housing office and affordable workspace

Blandford Court garages at Lockner Estate

In summer 2022, we talked to residents about proposals to replace the Blandford Court garages with new council homes.  

Since then, our cabinet has given us permission to develop plans for the new homes on these estates. To do this, we will work with a design team and residents.
