The project is part of the Hackney Council’s Housing Supply Programme, an initiative focussed on unlocking smaller sites across the borough. The scheme delivers new affordable and shared ownership homes on a former garage site near to Daubeney Fields, while making a new public route and playable mews for existing and new residents.

Climate resilient plantings on the street edge help connect to green infrastructure in the park opposite.
