Mount Anvil chosen for second phase of Bacton Estate 

Camden Council has chosen Mount Anvil as a development partner to deliver the next phase of the Bacton Estate phase two development in Gospel Oak. This partnership will see the London-based housebuilder work closely with the council, and in consultation with Gospel Oak residents, to deliver 61 affordable and private homes on the second phase of the former Bacton Estate site. The masterplan is a community-driven project in Gospel Oak, North London that provides scope for 294 mixed-tenure homes with new public routes and shared landscaped spaces.  Danny Beales, cabinet member for new homes, jobs, and community investment at Camden Council, said: “Developments like Bacton Phase Two will be crucial to addressing our housing waiting list and ensuring that people can continue to live in Camden, in healthy and energy-efficient homes. “At a time when only 6% of Camden’s funding for building and refurbishing homes comes from central government, we need to look for innovative ways to continue building desperately needed housing in our communities. “The council has already delivered more than 1,500 homes in Camden to date, including 628 social rent homes, 153 specialist accommodation homes, 195 temporary accommodation homes and 131 intermediate rent homes.” Darragh Hurley, chief executive officer of Mount Anvil, said: “We believe public-private partnerships that care about the long-term outcomes for local communities are key to addressing the housing crisis in London.” Starting this summer, Mount Anvil and the Council will begin working with Gospel Oak residents and former Bacton residents who have the option to return to the estate once redevelopment is completed on the new design proposals.
