Following intensive consultation with existing residents , the masterplan design is based on the traditional concept of ‘ streets and squares ’ with an emphasis on buildings which have doors at street level , creating liveable spaces between them and allowing people to move across , through and within the estate .
At the heart of the scheme is a new Garden Square Lulworth – the estate ’ s original 19 storey tower – is being retained , stripped back and intensively refurbished : the
original concrete structure represents a significant amount of embodied carbon and retrofitting it is a large part of the project ’ s sustainability strategy .
Jules Pipe , Deputy Major for Planning , Regeneration and Skills , said : “ The Agar Grove Estate is a great example of how estate regeneration should be done : helping existing residents play an active role in shaping the future of their neighbourhood and ensuring the development works both for them and for future residents .”
We are pleased to be associated with HILL PARTNERSHIPS on the AGAR GROVE project
