Following the success of phase one, sealtite sealants have been awarded the contract of the sealant application to Phase 2. Our works will include sealant to External expansion joints, internal fireproofing to blockwork, mastic to internal windows, kitchen, toilet areas, flooring etc.
Erith Park Phase 2 will provide 244 new dwellings in a mix of well-designed one, two and three bedroom houses and apartments. 80% of the new dwellings will be affordable homes.
It also includes a new centrally located and architecturally-striking community facility and high-quality, usable and accessible open space. This will be in stark contrast to the previous open space at the Larner Road estate which was of a poor quality, sterile and unused.
Phase 2 builds upon the success of Erith Park Phase 1, whereby Turley secured a hybrid planning permission, including full permission for the development of 343 residential units. These units have now been completed and have transformed what was one of the most deprived areas in the country into an area which is an exemplar in urban design regeneration.
