Frampton Park

Frampton Arms and Lyttelton House

45 much-needed new homes were completed on the site of the former Frampton Arms pub and Lyttleton House.

This includes:

• 16 social rent Council homes, the majority of which went to our long-standing residents of the estate who were in housing need
• a further 19 of these homes are shared ownership for people living or working in Hackney who can’t afford to buy outright but won’t be prioritised for social housing
• the remaining 10 sold outright to help pay for the project in the absence of sufficient government funding for social housing

The first social rent Council homes were completed on these two sites in December 2020 last year, the majority of which went to our long-standing residents from the estate who were in housing need.

Frampton Park Community Hall and Tradescant House

The plans for 69 new homes on the estate were agreed at the Council’s planning sub-committee in October 2021.

These new homes will replace the garages and old underground car park at Tradescant House and the Frampton Park Community Hall and cleaning depot.

This includes:

• 23 social rent homes – with first dibs for Frampton Park residents whose properties don’t meet their needs due to overcrowding or medical reasons
• 12 shared ownership homes for people living or working in Hackney who can’t afford to buy outright but won’t be prioritised for social housing

The remaining 34 homes will be sold outright to help pay for the project in the absence of sufficient government funding for social housing

The shared ownership and outright sale homes will be sold by our in-house sales team, Hackney Sales, in accordance with our sales and marketing principles.

All the new homes will incorporate improvements to the public spaces around them.

At the Frampton Arms site this has included a shared courtyard for both new and existing residents, and new play facilities.

New affordable workspace

Plans are being developed to create new affordable workspace in the disused garages beneath Exbury House and will help support start-up businesses, social enterprises and those needing a place to work from instead of at home.

The plans are the start of borough-wide proposals to take unused estate garages and convert them into accessible workspaces for local residents looking to start a business or grow an existing one.

The Council is working with local residents to ensure this benefits the community and works towards a fair recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

Elsdale Community Hall

New investment will create a community hub at Elsdale Community Hall to ensure that there is an overall improvement in facilities on the estate.

Initial proposals have been looking at extending and improving the existing hall to create a bigger and fit-for purpose community hall.

Alongside the hall there are plans to create a larger outdoor area which will provide more growing space for the gardening club, new outdoor communal seating areas, a new accessible toilet and a new kitchen.

Frampton Arms and Lyttelton House were both completed in December 2020 and our new residents have all moved in.

The plans for 69 new homes on Frampton Estate were approved at the Council’s planning sub-committee in October 2021.

After we select a contractor, we will update the designs to match the recent building safety regulation changes. Then, we expect to start construction in spring 2025.
