Farnham and Hilldene Estate update

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

Our vision for Farnham and Hilldene Estate is to deliver high-quality new homes and retail units to support residents, businesses and the wider community.

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

We have taken on board your feedback from our summer consultation and the architects have continued working to create a better place to live, work, shop and visit.

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.

They are continuing to develop a mix of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom homes each with access to private outdoor space and designed to meet modern standards, with good sized rooms and generous built-in storage.

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.

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.

The new, safe and accessible town centre will have well managed visitor car parking and be better connected to the surrounding neighbourhoods. It will have better designed areas for deliveries and bins, and be a nicer place to spend time in with places to sit, more trees and green space, a pocket park, and good lighting.

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.

The redevelopment will be phased so that only 25 to 30% of the town centre is under construction at any given time, making sure it can still serve its vital role as a place to shop, visit or live.

We welcome your feedback on the material presented at this event. If you could complete a feedback form, it would be greatly appreciated. Please also visit the comments board and share your thoughts.
