Winstanley and York Road Demolition Phase 2
Block 6
Block 6 will be the first of the courtyard blocks to be built. It will comprise a mix of new build council housing and private housing in a mansion block design, located off Wye Street to the west of Falconbrook Primary School.
The proposed designs for Block 6 reference historical London mansion blocks, such as those seen locally on Prince of Wales Drive (opposite Battersea Park). The mansion block will form the basis of common design principles that will be shared between other blocks across the masterplan, with the aspiration of creating a coherent townscape.
Block 6 will be home to residents from Arthur Newton House, Baker House and some from Holcroft House moving within Demolition Phase 2.
