RCKa has secured planning for two affordable housing projects on behalf of Barnet Homes on infill sites in the borough – Broadfields and Coppetts Road. The practice was appointed to consider the intensification of existing suburban housing estates, as part of a strategic review, and deployed an innovative approach to overcome significant challenges of privacy, construction viability and the need to provide a diverse mix of homes to help meet the demand for affordable housing in the capital.
Broadfields
Broadfields sits on the very edge of London, at the north-western corner of Edgware. Here, RCKa has obtained consent for 28 new homes on a long, narrow site within the Broadlands Estate, surrounded by a mix of inter- and post-war housing that is typical of London’s northern fringe.
