Introduction How and when?

The Family Welcome Centre and Medical Centre will be the first project delivered as part of the regeneration of Harold Hill Town Centre.

Welcome to the public consultation for the regeneration of the Farnham and Hilldene Estate.

Havering Council have been consulting with residents about the future of the Farnham & Hilldene Estate since 2016.

A planning application will be submitted early next year, with construction works set to begin at the end of next year. The opening of the centre is planned for the middle of 2024.

The Farnham and Hilldene shopping area is a key place for Harold Hill’s residents and businesses. The area needs investment to help continue to make it a beacon for the neighbourhood and the whole community to continue to enjoy.

For the Chippenham Road and Town Centre sites, a key aim of the project team is to keep disruption to residents and business to a minimum and ensure that Harold Hill can continue to be a thriving part of the local community throughout these changes.

The Council have begun to explore what change the investment in the area could deliver and the benefits it can bring residents, business and the wider community.

To achieve this, redevelopment will be phased to allow for business continuity. This means only emptying one section of the town centre at a time, demolishing it, and then building new homes and business units.

This event has been designed to provide an update on progress, introduced the architects and their initial thoughts, and understand your priorities for the area.

Phases 1 & 2

Phase 3

We will then work with tenants in the next demolition phase to move them into the new buildings or alternative locations, before starting to demolish that phase.

The team are still very much in the early stages of the design process and need your feedback to help build a shared vision for the future of Farnham and Hilldene Estate.

Your feedback

Overall, we expect the full redevelopment to take around nine years from when we start in 2025.

Full details of the phasing for the regeneration are outlined in the table below:
