Fellows Court and Weymouth Court Development Proposal- Final Exhibition

Overview

Hackney Council is continuing its housing programme to deliver around 400 new homes across 14 locations, including Fellows Court garages and Weymouth Court garages. Seventy-five percent of these 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.

Fellows Court garages and Weymouth Court garages have been identified as potential locations 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 Fellows Court and Weymouth 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: Haworth Tompkins with Balaam Murphy and Nooma Studio  

Landscape Designers: LDA Design with 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. 

Why your views matter

Hackney Council’s Housing and Regeneration & Delivery team wants to hear your views on the final proposals for Fellows Court garages and Weymouth Court garages that will be submitted for planning submission in Spring 2025. 

These plans have been developed from the conversations held to date with the Resident Steering Group and public engagement events held in July and October 2024. 

These surveys accompany a public drop-in exhibition on Saturday 15 March, 10am - 1pm outside Fellows Court Community Centre under a gazebo and Monday 17 March, 2025 4pm - 7pm inside Fellows Court Community Centre.
