Hackney Council approved Berkeley Homes' Woodberry Down regeneration, replacing low-rise homes with high-density buildings by 2041, reducing green space and displacing residents.
Hackney Council has approved the final stages of the Woodberry Down regeneration, granting Berkeley Homes conditional approval for phases 5 to 8, including the Rowley Gardens estate on the former Northumberland House site.
The project, set for 2031–2041, will replace low-rise housing with high-density buildings, reducing green space, removing mature trees, and limiting pedestrian access.
Residents face displacement, with uncertain return prospects, and concerns persist over unmet affordable housing promises.
Critics call the design visually unappealing and environmentally harmful.
The full plan is available on Hackney’s planning portal.
