Wayman Court

In summer 2022, we talked to residents about a proposal to:

• replace the garages and car park on Wayman Court and the Garden of Earthly Delights 
• build new council homes on the space on Graham Road

Since then, our cabinet has given us permission to work with residents and a design team to develop plans for these new homes. We discovered in our first phase of work that we could not build on the Graham Road site.

We are now working on proposals for Wayman Court, which is one of 14 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 chose architects and started the design process at the beginning of 2024. We have been developing proposals for the new homes alongside other improvements on the estate. 

The earliest we will be able to start building is 2026. This depends on the design process and getting planning permission.

We spoke to residents in November 2024 and have a resident steering group on the Wayman Court project. There will be more opportunities for local people to have their say and shape designs, before a planning application is submitted in autumn 2025 for Wayman Court
