Willmott Dixon has been given the green light to start the £130m transformation of the Broadwater Farm estate in north London

Haringey Council has granted permission for 294 new council homes alongside a new health and wellbeing centre, a grocery shop, affordable workspaces, jobs and training opportunities and enhanced green and open spaces.

Chris Tredget, Managing Director at Willmott Dixon said: “We are looking forward to beginning work at Broadwater Farm to deliver high quality homes for current and future generations of local residents. At Willmott Dixon, we always strive to make a positive impact in our local communities, and we look forward to collaborating with Haringey on both new and existing initiatives.”

Tangmere and Northolt Blocks (including Stapleford North Wing), the Energy Centre, Medical Centre and Enterprise Centre buildings now have planning consent to be demolished and rebuilt.

All other blocks will be refurbished through the wider Broadwater Farm Improvement Programme.
