Tower Hill is a former local authority housing estate, based on Radburn layout principles. The local authority has invested in the demolition of system built tower blocks which has resulted in open space areas which are available for the provision of new housing of mixed tenure.
Size of the contract
Overall, the project will deliver 600 new homes in two phases. Community facilities include a new public park with a skate park and play areas for different age groups, a new local gym and boxing club. This is all set within high-quality feature open spaces and home zones.
