Design Guide launch for Newham and Populo Living

We're pleased to share the launch of our design guide for Newham Council and Populo Living on good practice using the airspace model for housing delivery. This new form of land supply, using the roof areas of existing buildings, has the potential to deliver hundreds of genuinely affordable new homes in the borough during the next few years. Existing buildings will also receive upgrades making them warmer and cheaper to heat as part of plans.

Councillor Shaban Mohammed, Cabinet Member for Housing Management and Modernisation, said: “There’s a huge demand for affordable housing in Newham and we’re doing everything we can to meet it, including purchasing properties and building new ones. We are also thinking outside of the box to provide as many homes as possible for local people."
