Sutton Council has selected Lovell as preferred bidder to develop the Elm Grove estate in Sutton town centre.
The scheme will offer around 290 new one-, two- and three-bedroom energy efficient homes – 50% affordable – in addition to new communal courtyards and a play space for residents.
Works are scheduled to start on site in May 2025 and all existing eligible residents who choose to stay on the estate will be offered a new home in the scheme.
Mick Laws, regional managing director – London, at Lovell, said: “We are delighted to have been selected by London Borough of Sutton to work with them on this significant town centre project. Regeneration and partnerships are the cornerstone of our business, and we are excited to deliver these new, much needed high-quality homes for the people of Sutton.”
Councillor Jake Short, chair of Sutton Council’s housing, economy and business committee, added: “This is a really exciting step forward in the council’s plans to build new quality and affordable homes for our residents in the heart of Sutton town centre. Our new council homes across the borough have already been recognised for their high design and environmental standards. The selection of an experienced development partner means our goal to deliver incredible homes and open spaces for Elm Grove residents can now move to the next stage.
“We have been driven by what Elm Grove residents want their future homes to look like and now this vision is set to become a reality with construction works currently scheduled to start early summer 2025.”
