Eastfields Regeneration

We have been appointed with Levitt Bernstein and Proctor Matthews to explore options for the regeneration of Eastfields estate in the London Borough of Merton.

Circle Housing Merton Priory selected teams of architects to support the proposed regeneration of three areas in the Borough. They have been consulting residents since last summer about the possible demolition and redevelopment of over 1,200 homes. Proposals for this major regeneration scheme include the provision of new homes, public open space and community facilities.

Our team, led by Levitt Bernstein Associates, will work with local residents throughout the year to create an outline masterplan for a new neighbourhood for Eastfields in Mitcham.

Barry McCullough at Levitt Bernstein said: "Despite being close to the Academy and some well-loved leisure facilities, the Eastfields neighbourhood doesn't feel linked to its surroundings. We want to work with residents and the Circle Housing Merton Priory team to connect it with the local area by creating an attractive layout including safe streets and open spaces that are used by all at all hours of the day."

The design work begins in May and will include a series of exhibitions, workshops, site visits and public events through the year.
