Whitefield Estate
About the Whitefield Estate Relocation
The Whitefield Estate and the residents that live there are an important part of our ambitious Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration programme. As part of the changes happening in the area, we’re building brilliant new homes that will serve as replacement housing for residents that currently live in the high-rise and low-rise buildings on the estate.
On these pages you will find all the information for the moves, and the future plans for the existing Whitefield Estate.
The first new replacement homes that are now complete and are having final checks are the 47 homes on Brent Terrace (Plots 53 and 54). These homes have been built with the current Whitefield Estate’s residents at the heart of the design, including private gardens, balconies, a new public park and plenty of planting.
The second set of new homes that is being constructed and is nearing completion is Plot 12. This will also provide high-quality 120 new replacement homes for other residents living in the Whitefield Estate and is in Brent Cross Town.
There has been a formal Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) process to allow this part of the transformation to take place.
The outline permission for the Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration programme was first granted in 2010 and the completion of the new Brent Terrace homes; and near completion of Brent Cross Town’s Plot 12, marks an important milestone for the development of the area.
