In the next few weeks work is due to start on the Juniper House development which is part of the Council’s commitment to providing as many affordable homes as possible for local people.
The scheme will also revitalise a key part of Walthamstow Town Centre by providing new commercial space on Hoe Street.
It will bring significant benefits for local residents including a new nursery, new affordable homes and a new pocket park at the corner of First Avenue and Hoe Street. The scheme will feature environmentally friendly measures including , including air-source heat pumps and solar panels which will provide heating and hot water for the apartments and cooling to the nursery and commercial elements. It is a car free scheme, except for people with disabilities.
The approved application includes:
- providing 91 new homes for local people, including at least 41 affordable homes with 23 for social rent and 18 for shared ownership including three and four bedroom properties suitable for families
- providing a 53-place pre-school nursery with its own play-area on a site close to Walthamstow Central Station making it easy for commuters to use
- providing more green space, including a pocket park at the junction of First Avenue and Hoe Street
- improving the appearance of the area around the gyratory traffic system
- providing new commercial units facing Hoe Street which could provide space for local businesses and employment opportunities for residents
- providing cycle parking
- the Council keeping ownership of the land when the development is completed
The finished building will be a quality design landmark as well as providing new amenity space and a much needed nursery.
