The regeneration of the Durand Close Estate will provide 475 mixed tenure flats and houses, together with a new community centre, shop, and re-landscaped green space. The site lies to the east of the River Wandle and the adjoining cycle and pedestrian route forms part of the Wandle Trail, a valuable green corridor providing a unique link between four London boroughs. The new layout opens up the estate to the river, and new landscaping will enhance the Riverside Walk and the newly created areas of public open space.
As part of the regeneration a number of associated sites are also being developed. These will include a mix of affordable, shared ownership and private sale houses and flats, and will provide cross subsidy for the regeneration of the estate as well as meeting local rehousing needs.
