Masterplanning & Urban Design

The Aylesbury First Development Site delivers 902 homes as part of the first phase of the wider Estate Regeneration. The homes are delivered across three stages and comprise six development parcels. These include three perimeter blocks with high-rise buildings ranging from 14 to 26 storeys that will form a new frontage onto Burgess Park.

To the north of the site, the massing is reduced with terraced streets merging into the existing context of Walworth. Pocket parks and tree-lined streets connect the blocks whilst roof terraces, balconies, and courtyard gardens provide landscaped amenity spaces for all residents. The first phase delivers a range of building typologies, including terraced houses, mansion buildings, and an extra care facility.

The second phase will deliver mansion blocks and high-rise residential buildings that form a new urban park frontage to the north of Burgess Park. Both phases provide 100% affordable housing for Southwark Council Residents, many of whom reside across the wider Estate. The third phase, currently on site, will provide mixed-tenure homes. It will complete the FDS and deliver additional terraced houses and maisonettes. In addition, mansion blocks and the tallest of the three towers are also to be completed on site
