Woolwich Dockyard - two more estates added to the list
Two more Greenwich Council estates have been added to the list of estates under threat.
670 council homes have been earmarked for potential redevelopment on the Woolwich Dockyard estate and neighbouring St. Mary's estate in Woolwich.
The two estates have been identified for comprehensive redevelopment in Greenwich's 2026 Local Plan with the potential to provide 1,700 new homes.
The estates are adjacent to the Maryon Grove and Morris Walk estates, which are both in the process of being redeveloped by Greenwich Council after a decade of delays.
Shortly after publishing the site allocation in its draft Local Plan, Greenwich Council issued a press release saying': "No decision has been made, to bring forward proposals, to redevelop the Woolwich Dockyard and St Marys Estate as part of an estate renewal programme. The Draft Local Plan includes a list of areas where future development to provide new homes could happen and both estates have been included. If any proposals were ever bought forward, residents would be involved from the beginning and no development could go ahead without residents showing support through a ballot."
