Across Waltham Forest, the Council is working to deliver more affordable homes for local people, including Council homes for rent and for shared ownership, where local residents get the first option to buy so they can get a foot on the housing ladder. Our aim is to achieve 50 per cent affordable housing when taking account of all housing schemes across the borough.
An important part of these developments is delivering improved transport services, new health hubs, schools and community facilities alongside new shops and work spaces to provide local jobs.
The Council has been set a target of 18,000 new homes being built in the borough over the next 10 years and our aim is to include as many affordable homes within that figure as possible.
One of the sites identified is Priory Court, Walthamstow.
The proposals include:
- More than 100 apartments comprising one to four-bedroom new homes
- 50% of the apartments will be affordable including for rent and shared ownership
- 50% of the apartments will be for market sale
- 10% of the homes will be suitable for people with disabilities
- Landscaping works
- Secure cycle storage within the building for all residents
- Parking bays for use by people with disabilities
- Solar panels will be fitted on the development
- Electric vehicle charging points will be available
The proposal details may change during the resident engagement and planning process.

We have declared a Climate Emergency in Waltham Forest.
We all need to work together locally to address this global issue.
We encourage you to have your say when we release the climate emergency survey and get involved in focus groups.
Details will be shared via the Council’s social media, website and email newsletters.

Residents across Waltham Forest are coming together as part of a group buying scheme to install solar panels on their houses.
Residents can now join Solar Together London, the solar photovoltaic (PV) group-buying scheme. It is free to register and there is no obligation to install panels.
Solar Together London helps Waltham Forest homeowners feel confident they are paying the right price for a high-quality installation from a vetted installer which will boost local renewable energy generation.
The new scheme follows three highly successful schemes run across the country last year which led to over 1,650 installations with Waltham Forest having 936 registrants last year.
Solar Together is one of the many ways Waltham Forest is acting to counter the Climate Emergency, declared by the local authority this summer.
