Council’s development arm now on site with over 1,000 homes

The development company set up by Croydon council to make sure homes are better designed has been given planning for another batch of homes in the borough taking the amount being developed to more than 1,200.

Brick by Brick was established in 2016 to build more than 1,000 homes across the borough by 2019.

The group set up a framework of contractors to carry out the work – including Henry Construction, Osborne Homes, north London firm Quinn and Surrey firm Buxton Building Contractors – as well as a roster of architects.

Seven schemes featuring 230 homes designed by Mary Duggan Architects, Coffey Architects, Pitman Tozer Architects and Common Ground Architecture – the Brick by Brick in-house architecture practice – have now been given the green light by local planners.

Brick by Brick has over 30 sites underway, ranging from small infill schemes with fewer than a dozen homes to larger schemes with more than 100 units.

The new homes are initially being made available exclusively to Croydon residents in order to improve access to affordable homes for local residents.
