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

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.
