Parkside Estate

In summer 2022, we talked with local residents about a proposal to replace the garages and car park at Morpeth Grove on Parkside Estate with new council homes. Since then, our cabinet has given us the go-ahead to work with a design team and residents to develop plans for these new homes on the estate.

This is one of 15 locations across Hackney that will make up a new programme to build around 400 new homes. 75% of the new homes will be council homes for social rent.

Designing the new homes

We began the design process in September 2024 and held the first public engagement event in October 2024.

We set up a Resident Steering Group made up of local residents. They met regularly with the project team and architects to give feedback, raise concerns and help develop the designs.

In March 2025, we held a second event to share the developed designs with residents.

We’re working through the stages of the design process and plan to submit a planning application later this year. If approved, construction could start as early as autumn 2026.

Get involved

We will consult and work with local residents throughout the design process, to ensure the new homes help those in need and improve the estate for everyone.

Residents will have many chances to get involved and have their say.

We will write to nearby residents inviting them to our consultation events through letter drops, newsletters and emails.

We’ll update this page with any upcoming consultations and engagements.
