Regents Court Development Proposal- Final Exhibition

Closes 21 Sep 2025

Opened 28 Aug 2025

Overview

Hackney Council is continuing its housing programme to deliver around 400 new homes across 14 locations, including Regents Court. This programme, consulted on in July last year, is part of our ongoing commitment to start building or support the construction of 1,000 new homes for social rent by 2026. Across the programme, 75% of the new homes will be council homes for social rent, prioritised for local residents with established housing needs. Our goal remains to address the housing shortage and provide high-quality, genuinely affordable homes to those in need.

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

In the summer of 2022, we discussed proposals with local residents to replace the garages at Regents 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 Architects 

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.
