Following the last residents from Thames View House being rehoused in February, we have organised for the site to be secured prior to Hill Partnerships taking possession of beginning works. To prevent any unauthorised access to the car park concrete barriers and a gate have been installed, in addition, security doors have been fitted in the communal areas as part of the security measures.

PA Housing has appointed housebuilder The Hill Group to deliver 97 high-quality, 100% affordable homes.

PA Housing has appointed us as the main contractor for the redevelopment of Thames View House. We will be building 97 new homes within a six and nine-storey building. The scheme will also include a new community facility on the ground floor level; this will be leased to the Thamesview Pre-School, which currently operates from the community room in the existing building.

Over the next four weeks, we will continue our site set-up and begin the asbestos removal. We have a licenced contractor who will carry out our asbestos removal during this time, with the works due to start on Tuesday, 30 August 2022. The work being carried out during this time will involve small decontamination and a stand-alone welfare unit delivered to our site. A transit route is being established in preparation for asbestos removal. Air monitoring will be carried out throughout this time, and an asbestos skip will be exchanged periodically.We understand that some inconvenience may be caused to residents, and we want to assure you that we will endeavour to keep this to an absolute minimum.

We would also like to take the opportunity to invite you to our ‘Meet the Contractor’ event on Wednesday, 7 September 2022, between 4 pm – 7pm at The Scouts Hut, Felix Rd, Walton-on-Thames KT12 2SN

The scheme received planning consent in September 2020 for a 97-home development, made up of 45 affordable rented units, 30 Shared Ownership Units and 22 homes for private sale. Since then Home England grant funding has been obtained which has allowed the scheme to be 100% affordable.

The tenure mix will now be 45 social rent and 52 shared ownership. The shared ownership will be sold and marketed to local residents on our Sales site

Space on the ground floor will be set aside for Walton-on-Thames' youngest residents, with the long-established Thames View House Pre-School set to move into brand new premises within the building.

The scheme includes a community facility at ground floor level. It is intended to lease the new facility to Thamesview Pre-School, which currently operates from the community room in the existing building. A nearby largely disused garage block will be replaced to make way for additional surface parking, as part of these proposals. We will also be making financial contributions to the local park including the play equipment as well as contributions to the transport links.

Affordable housing is available to households who otherwise could not house themselves, for example, because they would struggle to afford the cost of housing in the open market, or they need a specific type of house which is not commonly available. It is provided outside the general market i.e. it is not a home bought privately or a home rented from a private landlord. It is therefore not available to households who can meet their own housing needs without Government support.

We do not operate our own allocations so, if you are in serious or urgent housing need you will have to contact your local authority. They will carry out a housing needs assessment and will advise you of your options.

As a member of the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), we approach being a “good neighbour” by taking comprehensive steps to manage our impact on the wider community. Engaging with stakeholders ensures robust health and safety practices are in place and adhered to, and take every opportunity to work with the local community on employment and training opportunities. We understand that some inconvenience may be caused to residents during the works, and we want to assure you that we will endeavour to keep this to an absolute minimum.

Our standard working hours on site will be:

• 8am to 6pm – Monday to Friday
• 8am to 1pm – Saturday

Occasionally it may be necessary to work outside of these hours. Wherever possible, we will notify neighbouring residents of these works. We will have a time restriction in place to minimise the number of deliveries to the site at peak school times.

If you have any queries or concerns, our Social Value and Community Team is available 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. The freephone telephone number is 0800 032 6760 or the team can be contacted by email [email protected]
