Waxwell Lane was an underutilised council carpark which the council has sought to optimise to deliver 20 new homes, these consist of 16 homes for private sale, two shared ownership and two for affordable rent. The scheme includes 14 three-bedroom houses and six four-bedroom houses these include two specially designed wheelchair accessible homes. The main project objective was to respond to the local conservation area context and to increase the housing provision locally by creating a well-designed neighbourhood with community living and well-being at its heart.

The Building Council Homes for Londoners programme (BCHfL) have already completed 106 new homes with another 105 now on site. These sites provide opportunities including for local small or medium sized developers to deliver carbon neutral new developments using modern methods of construction where possible. The next phase of the programme will deliver a further 430 homes including our new Milton Road development.
