The proposals for the Convent Way Estate feature a landscape-led masterplan, that creates a sustainable neighbourhood providing up to 967 new homes built to Passivhaus standards (resulting in 69% improvement on Part L), generous public realm and shared amenity connected via a green and blue ecological loop, a new local retail and community heart, and improved connectivity through the creation of a new neighbourhood lane. Beginning with Phase A, which has been submitted as a detailed design proposal, 117 affordable homes will be introduced to the estate, providing existing residents with a seamless transition and the opportunity to stay within their community as the subsequent phases begin.

With 85% of the resident ballot favouring the regeneration, the estate will transform in phases to ensure that existing residents will only move once into a new home. Each phase of the development has been designed in direct response to discussions with residents during a series of successful consultations and will provide a range of homes to meet different needs alongside new parks and play to ensure easy access for all.
