Cropley Court Development Proposal - Final Exhibition

Overview

Hackney Council is excited to announce a new housing programme aimed at building around 400 new homes across 14 locations, including Cropley Court. Across the whole  programme 75% of the new homes will be council homes for social rent, prioritised for local residents with established housing needs. This initiative is part of our commitment to start building or support the construction of 1,000 new homes for social rent by 2026. Our goal is to address the housing shortage and provide high-quality, genuinely affordable homes to those in need.

Project Overview

Cropley Court garage site has been identified as a potential location for new homes without the demolition of existing ones, alongside wider improvements to the estate and neighbourhood.

In the summer of 2022, we discussed proposals with local residents to replace the garages on Cropley Court with new homes. Since then, the Council’s Cabinet has 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: Sergison Bates Architects

Landscape: Farrer Huxley

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.
