A topping out ceremony has taken place at a housing estate in Southall, marking a new milestone in the delivery of more than 100 new genuinely affordable homes to let.
Ceremonial bricks were laid by Councillor Shital Manro, Ealing Council’s cabinet member for good growth and new homes, to celebrate the completed construction of the central structures of 143 new homes on Southall’s Golf Links estate. This includes 104 genuinely affordable new homes to let to council tenants. There will also be 3 new commercial units in this phase of development at the site.
Building work to redevelop the Golf Links estate got underway in March 2013. Two phases of regeneration have already been completed at the estate, with the construction of Dormers Rise in 2016 and Peterhead Court in 2019.
The work has been planned with the support of the estate’s residents. A ballot in March 2022 showed clear support for the regeneration plans, with 82% voting in favour of the council’s plans.
The new estate boasts better living facilities with more open, accessible space between the homes. The improved estate’s design prioritises accessibility. 14 of the new homes will be wheelchair accessible, and special attention has been given to creating interconnected, open spaces.
The homes are expected to be ready for people to move in from autumn 2026.
This phase of new homes is being built by The Hill Group and were designed by Stephen Taylor Architects.
