Nye Bevan Garage site - Future Development Stage 2

Overview

Nye Bevan Garages site is one of 14 locations across Hackney that will make up a new programme to build around 400 new homes. 75% of the new homes will be council homes for social rent and prioritised for local residents through our local lettings policy – which means current residents in the local area with established housing needs would get first preference for new Council rented homes. This is part of the Council’s commitment to start building, or supporting partners to build, 1,000 new homes for social rent by 2026 to help tackle the housing shortage and provide a high-quality, genuinely affordable home to those who need it. 

The garages at Nye Bevan estate have been identified as having the potential to accommodate new homes without the demolition of existing homes as well as wider improvements to the estate and neighbourhood. 

Since summer 2022, we have been talking with local residents about proposals to replace the garages at Nye Bevan estate with new homes, including at our two public events in June and November 2024. 

We’re working with a design team and specialist consultants to prepare a planning application for the Nye Bevan Garages site, which we intend to submit in May 2025. Our team includes: 

Architects: Citizens Design Bureau
Landscape: Mark Lemanski Studio
Cost Consultant: Bristow
Planning Consultant: HTA Planning
Multi Disciplinary Engineering Consultant: XCO2

Most of the design team have lived or worked in Hackney for many years. They have a broad mix of backgrounds and cultures and are excited by the opportunity to work with the community on these much-needed new homes and surrounding improvements.

Your feedback
Hackney Council’s Housing Regeneration & Delivery team wants to hear your views on the final proposals for Nye Bevan Garages that will be submitted for planning submission in May 2025. 

These plans have been developed from the conversations held to date, including the public engagement events held in June and November 2024. 

These surveys accompany a public drop-in exhibition on Saturday 26 April 2026, from 12pm until 3pm, to be held in the area in front of the tower block.
