Cherbury Court Development Proposal - Resident Consultation

Overview

Cherbury Court’s former Florence Bennett Centre and garages have been identified as a potential location for new homes without the demolition of existing ones. Wider improvements to the estate and neighbourhood would also be delivered as part of the development project.

In December 2022, the Council’s Cabinet approved the plan to work with a design team and residents to develop detailed plans for the new homes on these estates. We have appointed the following design team and specialist consultants:
Architects: Nooma
Landscape Designers: Mark Lemanski
Cost Consultant: Exigere
Planning Consultant: HTA Planning
Multi-disciplinary Engineering Consultant: XCO2

Most of our design team members have lived or worked in Hackney for many years. They bring diverse backgrounds and cultures and are excited to collaborate with the community on these much-needed new homes and improvements. 

We want to hear from you

The design team is currently gathering as much information about the site as possible, in order to understand where is the best location for new homes and what are the design priorities for this project.

The architects want to hear from residents about what are the issues and opportunities on Cherbury Court today and what are your priorities for improving the outside spaces and amenities on the estate.

This is a preliminary conversation and we will come back at every stage of the design development up to a planning submission to keep you informed and involved as much as you wish.
