  1. Phase one
  2. Appropriation of land

As part of phase one, 93 new council homes have received planning approval and will be built to include a mixture of apartments and family homes:

These homes will be located at:

  • Elm Nursery Car Park, Mitcham
  • Raleigh Gardens Car Park
  • Mitcham; Land at Canons, Madeira Road, Mitcham
  • Farm Road Church, Morden

Planning approval brings the homes in phase one up to the most current building regulations and standards.

They are being designed with ‘Passive House’ principles to be energy efficient and sustainable and reduce energy bills for tenants. This also supports the council’s plans to create a greener borough as part of its zero-carbon policy.

The developments are supported with a multimillion-pound investment from the Mayor of London’s Affordable Homes programme 2021-2026.
