New council homes on Congleton Grove: have your say

Thank you for taking the time to view our proposals for new council homes at Congleton Grove, part of the Greenwich Builds programme to deliver 750 new council homes across the borough.

We are inviting you to give feedback on our plans, so please fill in this survey once you have read the overview and accompanying documents. There is an option within the survey to ask us questions, please opt in when asked to receive a notification, so that you receive an update when the answers have been posted.

Site Location

The site of our proposed development is located between Congleton Grove, St Margaret's Terrace and The Oaks, near Burrage Road in the Plumstead Common Conservation Area, approximately half a mile from Woolwich town centre.

You can see a map of the proposed location below:

Below is a 3D map of the site.

Finally you can see a diagram of the site showing the path of the sun, vehicular access and sensitive views at this location.

Also indicated are pedestrian routes along the north and west borders of the site, vehicle access from the north west and key views from the north west pointing south and south east.

What we're proposing to build

On this site we are proposing to build two new council homes for social rent. They will be situated at the northern end of the development site with a roughly east-west orientation.

Both of these homes will be made available to local people on our housing waiting lists via the Choice Based Lettings system. 

The development will consist of: 

  • Two three-bedroom, two-storey family houses
  • Two car parking spaces
  • Landscaping enhancements
  • Net zero-carbon development 

The homes will use the existing access to Congleton Grove from the north of site.

Siteplan

Below is a plan of the site showing how the proposed homes would be situated.

Sustainability

As with all Greenwich Builds homes, sustainability is a key consideration in our design. The homes at Bliss Crescent will be built to zero carbon standards, using a 'fabric first' approach incorporating extensive insulation and air tightness measures, alongside air source heat pumps and solar panels.

This will not only make our homes extremely sustainable but will also substantially reduce running costs for those living in them.
