Tower Hamlets Council is aiming to deliver 1,000 new council homes through direct delivery, according to a report presented at the Appointments Sub Committee meeting on Tuesday, 9 September 2025. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to address housing needs within the borough.
The council also plans to purchase 200 permanent homes using the Council Housing Acquisition Programme (CHAPs). Additionally, the council intends to use London Affordable Homes Programme (LAHF) funding to purchase 37 homes for temporary accommodation, with five of these designated for the Accommodation and Resettlement Casework Service (ARCS).
Regeneration efforts are also underway, with plans to regenerate 100 existing homes in the Harriott, Apsley and Pattison House estate. This project aims to deliver 407 new homes and a replacement community facility. According to the Public Reports Pack, half of the new homes will be a mix of affordable and intermediate housing.
The Harriott, Apsley and Pattison House estate regeneration project will allocate 50% of the 407 new homes to a mix of affordable and intermediate housing. The specific breakdown of 'affordable' versus 'intermediate' housing within this allocation was not detailed in the meeting information.
