Gateway 2 approval for Greenwich housing scheme approved in 2022

Housing association Hyde Group  has received approval from the Building Safety Regulator to build 182 affordable homes in Greenwich.

The Eastmoor Street scheme is part of the housing association’s Charlton Riverside development and is the first Hyde-led project to pass the regulatory hurdle, introduced for higher-risk buildings in 2023.

Of the 182 homes, two-thirds are for social rent and the remaining third targeted at first-time buyers.

Hyde said it had worked closely with its contractor, Formation Design and Build, throughout the process to ensure a successful submission.

“This approval is a testament to the dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit of everyone involved in this project,” said Andy Hulme, group chief executive officer of the Hyde Group.

Eastmoor Street is Hyde’s first residential development at Charlton Riverside, where it has consent for around 1,200 homes, alongside new public spaces, community and commercial uses, and improved access to the riverfront and Thames Path.

The scheme was approved in 2022, at which point the first phase had been expected to complete by 2026.
