Welcome to the Lennox Estate community engagement website on the potential for new council rent homes

Wandsworth Borough Council is looking at building new council rent homes on the northern part of the Lennox Estate. This will mean:

  • All new homes will be for council rent
  • Existing residents of Lennox Estate in housing need or looking to downsize will be given priority for allocation of the new homes
  • No net loss of open space
  • Increase in play space and improvements to existing play areas
  • Introduction of controlled parking in order to prevent non-estate residents from parking on the estate. Free permits to be provided for existing estate residents
  • Improved pedestrian access onto Upper Richmond Road
  • No loss of community or education facilities

Thank you to everyone who attended the engagement event on the 26th of November 2024 and provided us with feedback. If you couldn’t attend the engagement events, please visit our downloads sections where you can find the information boards and a summary of feedback received from residents at each event. Our project information pages also contain details that were shared with residents at the most recent event.  (I believe we'll be removing or shortening this paragraph from one of Richards comments to the newsletter)

This year, we have been refining the design proposals to respond to residents’ feedback. At the same time, we are also preparing the planning application documents before submission to the Local Planning Authority this Summer 2025.

We will continue to keep you updated on this ongoing process through our newsletter! Our aim continues to be to meet the needs of local residents now, and for generations to come.
