Bellway wins Pembury permission

Housebuilder Bellway has received planning permission for a 280-home scheme in Hackney with social landlord Peabody.

The regeneration project for the Pembury Estate will include 50% affordable housing. Peabody selected Bellway as development partner after consultation with the landlords tenants on the estate.

Claire Bennie, head of development at Peabody, said: “Pembury Circus will give Hackney a real boost, providing new homes to meet local needs, new commercial space for local businesses and new amenities including a community centre. We’re delighted it has been given the green light.”

Ian Gorst, land director for Bellway Homes, said: “We look forward to delivering the investment in new homes and facilities that are much needed in the area.”
