Site Location & Context
Site C is located on the corner of Windlesham Grove and Swanton Gardens. It is a corner infill site that sits adjacent to existing five-storey residential buildings, Ashtead Court and Swanton Gardens.
The site is currently occupied by a single-storey caretakers store, serving the estate at ground floor. The area that we are looking to develop is shown outlined in red on the plan below.
Existing Site Photographs
To show the current uses on the site and in the surrounding area, we have included a series of photographs from within and around the site below.



Our Emerging Ideas
We are in the early stages of looking to develop the site and have started to identify constraints and key considerations to be mindful of and consider as we prepare our plans for the site.
We are currently considering ideas to develop the space to provide much-needed new council rent homes, which will help meet the needs of our residents now and for generations to come.
We are also keen to explore opportunities to improve landscaping and shared amenities for residents of the estate.
Key Considerations
Connecting Surrounding Green Spaces
The site is surrounded by an excellent variety of communal green spaces, but the existing caretaker’s store blocks off any connection between them. Improving access through the site, as well as the green spaces themselves, could be explored as part of a new development.
Respecting Existing Windows
Proximity to existing windows at the ends of both adjacent buildings will need to be carefully considered to avoid overshadowing and maintain privacy.
Infill Development to Provide Council Rent Homes
There is an opportunity on this site to provide new much-needed council rent homes in the borough, which would be designed to modern standards while being sensitive to existing residents.
Opportunities
The identified constraints and key considerations have enabled us to understand the opportunities for the site and allowed us to establish some initial ideas, which will help to shape our plans going forward.
New affordable homes for local people
High-quality design
Sustainable and energy efficient schemes
Complement neighbouring homes and uses
Improve connectivity and accessibility
Spaces for socialising and enjoyment
Improve security and surveillance
