About the project

Exeter Road is an estate in Ponders End, on the edge of Durants Park.

The project will provide much-needed new affordable homes among the existing buildings on the estate. The proposals also include improvements to the estate.

The project will be delivered in three phases:

Phase 1 - construction of new affordable homes on the unused patch of scrubland at the south-eastern end of Exeter Road
Phase 2 - refurbishment and extension of Ashburton House, and construction of affordable homes along Exeter Road in front of the tower blocks, including refurbishment of the parking structures
Phase 3 - refurbishment and extension of Crediton House, and construction of affordable homes along Exeter Road in front of the tower blocks, including refurbishment of the parking structures

There are currently no plans to demolish existing homes as part of this scheme. It is proposed that existing estate residents will be given priority on moving into the new homes through a local lettings plan.

Project update

In 2021, planning permission was granted for the detailed design of phase 1, and for the outline design of phases 2 and 3. Additional planning permission for the detailed design of phases 2 and 3 is expected by March 2022.

In January 2022, we appointed Mulalley & Company Limited to deliver the project.

Next steps

The construction of phase 1, and enabling works for phases 2 and 3 will start from March 2022.

Coming soon: A meet the contractor event will be held in March 2022. This will be a chance for residents to meet the Mulalley’s site management and resident liaison team. Event details will be available on this page in early March 2022.

Further information

We have consulted with residents from the estate and surrounding properties about the masterplan and details for all phases of the development.
