Countryside wins £400m London Camden Lock estate rebuilds

Housing association One Housing has signed up house builder Countryside to redevelop two adjacent council estates at Camden Lock in north London.The £400m redevelopment plan will see up to 700 mixed-tenure homes built at Juniper Crescent and Gilbeys Yard estates next to the Camden Goods Yard site.These two estates are separated by a large Morrisons supermarket, which is to be demolished to make way for a separate 600-home mixed-use scheme being jointly developed by house builder Barratt and the supermarket chain.Countryside will jointly plan, design, fund and deliver the regeneration of both estates, subject to a positive resident ballot, over an eight-year programme.A resident steering group has been part of the procurement team to select the joint venture partner following a vote to redevelop the site fully.Residents will continue to be consulted prior to a final ballot in March 2020 to decide on the future of their estates.
