Building homes and communities

Havering 12 Estates Regeneration Programme

Wates Residential and Havering Council are delivering one of London’s largest regeneration programmes through a £1.2 billion partnership. Across 12 estates, we are creating up to 5,000 new homes, with around 50 percent affordable. This ambitious plan will double affordable housing, increase council-rented homes by 70 percent and provide nearly 400 shared ownership properties. Every resident affected by redevelopment is guaranteed the right to return. Our vision is simple – high-quality homes and thriving communities for generations to come.

  • Total regeneration of Napier House and New Plymouth House (now known as New Green) in Rainham, as part of the Rainham Housing Zone and delivery of the new Beam Park community.
  • Redevelopment of Serena, Solar and Sunrise Court (now known as Park Rise) in South Hornchurch as an older person’s village.
  • Total regeneration of the Waterloo Estate in Romford, as part of the Romford Housing Zone.
  • Total regeneration of the Maygreen Crescent in Hornchurch.
  • Royal Jubilee Court in Gidea Park to be developed as an older person’s village.
  • Brunswick Court in Cranham to be demolished and redeveloped as an extra care sheltered housing scheme.
  • Over 100 homes at Chippenham Road and over 480 at Farnham Road and Hilldene Avenue in Harold Hill.
  • Four sheltered housing scheme sites to be regenerated for general needs housing, some of which may be allocated for people over the age of 50.

Next steps for regeneration

Temporary modular homes provide flexible solutions

To meet urgent housing needs, we are installing 18 modular homes at the Waterloo Estate in Romford. These precision-built homes offer families modern interiors, private outdoor space and energy-efficient features. Manufactured offsite, they can be delivered quickly and relocated up to five times, providing a flexible solution while the main development progresses.

Park Rise creates independent living

Park Rise in Hornchurch offers 175 homes for over-55s across council, shared ownership and private sale. Designed for comfort and independence, these future-proofed homes feature energy-efficient systems, solar panels and shared green spaces. Over 90 percent of residents would recommend Park Rise to a friend. The scheme delivered £30 million in social and economic value, created 62 local jobs and provided 1,416 weeks of training.

New Green brings a fresh start

New Green was the first phase to complete, replacing Napier and New Plymouth House with 197 modern homes. With landscaped gardens, play areas and energy-efficient design, it sets the standard for sustainable living and vibrant neighbourhoods.

Everyone we’ve come across from Wates Residential has really put their heart and soul into partnership working. What’s really great is that Wates Residential really wants to be a partner of Havering and learn about the borough.”

Havering Volunteer Centre cannot thank Wates Residential enough for approaching Wates Giving with the request for this generous grant. The funding will make such a difference to so many individuals by giving them the ‘stepping stone’ to a brighter future.”
