The scheme in the North Middlesex University Hospital in the Upper Edmonton will include low -level floors and terraces properties that go from one size to four rooms, and “will comply with the highest standards and energy efficiency,” according to the mayor’s office.
In total, 284 properties are proposed for construction, half or those that would be available in a social income and the other half for shared property.
The project has been more than half a decade in process, since the houses will be built in a place of 1.77 hectares purchased by the City Council in packages in 2019 and 2022.
The confirmation that the scheme will soon be presented to obtain planning permit occurred this week after Visry Viek Group was selected, after an extensive bidding process, to develop the homes in association with the Hyde group housing association.
“I am determined to do everything that is in my possession to make the house more affordable and sustainable for the Londoners, so I am associated with Vish Group to deliver 284 new houses at the Hospital of the North Middlesex University, a genuinely affordable housing scheme,” Sir Sadiq said.
“In addition to delivering new and very necessary houses, this historical development will have new green spaces and first -class community facilities, including a nursery and a cafeteria, not only to future residents, but the community in general in general.
“Addressing housing pressures in the capital and delivering new affordable homes for Londinenses is still a priority for me while we work together to build a better and more just London for all.”
It is proposed that all houses be “double appearance”, which means that they have open windows that face at least two directions, and will be triple glazed, “with improved ventilation and insulation,” said the mayor’s team.
The environmental credentials of projects have also been driven by the fact that the houses will be connected to the new energy network throughout the Enfield County, which will directly provide them with low carbon heat and eliminate the need for individual boilers. The City Council indicates that this will reduce energy costs for future residents.
“Based on our extensive experience in the delivery of transformative projects led by residential in London, this mixed use development will not only provide very necessary houses but also a new office space,” said Kevin Delve, managing director of Visty East London.
“We will also deliver a new park, cafeteria and nursery, ensuring long -term benefits for the community in general and helping to create a well connected place so that people live and work.”
Andy Hulme, executive director of the Hyde Group, added: “By creating new open public spaces and community facilities, the scheme will also benefit key workers at the North Middlesex Hospital and the widest community of Enfield.
“We would like to thank the Greater London Authority (GLA) for associating with us and visiting to build thesis that desperately need affordable houses and create a new community in our capital.”
Cllr Ayten Guzel, member of the Enfield Council for Housing Cabinet, welcomed the project and said his municipality “we will continually work with the GLA and the Government to find more ways to provide more affordable homes in the near future.”
