Ashtree Close updates

Over the years lots of homes have become empty at Ashtree Close, and people are leaving them at a higher rate than our average. Our aim is to create a more stale and sustainable community for the future.

Over recent years we've considered a number of options to regenerate the properties but were found to not be feasible. With this in mind we are now looking at potentially demolishing the current flats and building new houses and bungalows.

The proposed scheme includes 24 properties in total, which are to be made up of one and two-bedroom bungalows and two and three-bedroom houses, all for affordable rent.

Although we are in the early stages, we have been in touch with all tenants this may affect, and will continue to update them throughout. This will be through letters, telephone calls and face to face.

The most important thing for us is to make sure that they are kept up to date, and understand the whole process.

Site investigations were carried out in March and results are back. Consultation has also now been carried out and we are continuing to work with all affected tenants, explaining the process and impact on them and their homes.

We are now working on pulling together all of the feedback from our consultation to get a final design in place. We will then be submitted to the Local Authority for planning permission. This take as long as six months to obtain.

If you have any questions about the redevelopment of Ashtree Close, please give us a call.

As soon as we have more information, we will be in touch directly with those tenants in the area.
