Priory Court, Walthamstow

We propose to build 83 affordable new homes which will be a mix of one, two and three bedroom apartments in three blocks ranging from five to six stories in height. All homes will feature private gardens or balconies and access to landscaped communal areas and play areas. 

As part of the development, a new Sports England Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) and public play park for families with young children to enjoy will be provided. The MUGA will have floodlights within the court area, and street and bollard lighting will be added to make this space feel safe and secure to use. A spectator zone for parents, and a toilet and storage facility with office amenity space for adult supervision during community activities has also been included as part of its design.
