Plans to regenerate internationally-acclaimed modernist estate drawn up with Barton Willmore and Tate Hindle
Hawkins Brown has lodged proposals to regenerate a chunk of south-west London’s Alton Estate in a scheme that would deliver 1,103 new homes but require the demolition of a swathe of the exemplar post-war development.
The Roehampton scheme, which also features elements by Barton Willmore and Tate Hindle, would be delivered in blocks of up to nine storeys and include up to 9,572 sqm of community facilities, shops, cafés space and commercial space.
Planning documents submitted to Wandsworth council – which is jointly developing the scheme with housebuilder Redrow – say the development would require the demolition of 288 homes and community facilities, indluding an existing library.
