Works to Chasemore House walkway – From Monday 30th June Higgins will be demolishing part of the existing walkway to build a new permanent ramp that connects to the site. The works will last approximately 12 weeks and during this time the eastern end of the Chasemore House walkway (that connects to Dawes Road) will be closed. During these works Chasemore House residents will need to turn left when leaving their flat and exit via the stairs or new temporary ramp to Williams Close.
Works to Williams Close – From mid-July Higgins will be working on resurfacing Williams Close in two phases. Pedestrian, vehicle and emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all time, but all Estate parking bays along Williams Close will be suspended during the works. These works will be completed around mid-November.

New homes
Hammersmith & Fulham Council are delivering 134 new homes on the site, of which 67 will be let at social rent, 45 will be shared ownership and 22 will be available to buy as leasehold homes. The homes are due to be completed around April 2026.
The 67 social rent homes will be prioritised for local people in housing need. Anyone interested in these homes should join the council's housing register. More information on the housing register here.
The 45 shared ownership homes will be prioritised for people who live or work in the borough. We do not yet have information about what the prices will be. You can find out more information and register for shared ownership in the borough through the council's Home Buy team.
The 22 homes available to buy will be marketed closer to the end of the project.

Frequently asked questions
How many homes will be built and what size?
The project will deliver 134 new homes: 67 for social/affordable rent, 45 for Shared Ownership and 22 available to buy as leasehold. The new homes are a mix of one, two and three-bedroom flats.
When will the new homes be completed?
We anticipate the new homes will be completed in Spring 2026
Have residents been involved in the design of the development?
Yes, since early 2021 H&F Council engaged with local residents to co-produce the designs for the new homes, in line with the Defend Council Homes policy.
During the design process and now the construction phase we have worked closely with the Aintree Estate Residents' Steering Group.
The council and Higgins continue to update residents about the construction works through newsletters, bulletins, meetings, email updates and the project webpage: www.lbhf.gov.uk/hartopplannoy
Will Chasemore House and Donnelly Court be redeveloped?
There are no plans to redevelop Chasemore House and Donnelly Court. The new development has been designed to integrate the existing homes and will provide improved access and new shared public space.
Who will be eligible to live in the council homes?
Former residents of the Hartopp and Lannoy blocks who are eligible will have a 'right to return' to one of the new homes. This was determined by the Cabinet decision in April 2019. The allocations team will write to residents who are eligible to move into the new homes in 2025. The rest of the social rent homes will be prioritised for local residents in housing need.
How do I find out more about getting a new home?
To be eligible for a council home you should join the Housing Register.
You can find out more information about Shared Ownership in the borough and register with the Home Buy team. See Buying a home.
What will be done to mitigate disruption for neighbouring residents during construction?
A Construction Management Plan has been developed to minimise disruption during the construction period. Noise, dust and vibration sensors monitor levels on site and alert Higgins in real time of any breaches so they can be addressed.

Where will the new residents park?
The only new car parking spaces will be for Blue Badge holders. The remaining new homes, in line with planning policy, will not be provided with a car parking space and will not be granted a parking permit for the local area. Cycle parking storage will be provided for 250 bikes.
Will new trees be planted on the site?
63 new trees will be planted. Most new trees will be located on site, with 24 planted elsewhere in the neighbourhood (location to be determined). There will be a mix of mature, medium sized trees and sapling trees and use native species to support enhanced biodiversity.
How will the wider community benefit from the proposal?
There will be significant improvements to the site landscaping and public realm, including the creation of new spaces for residents to enjoy as well as new play space, nature spots with seating, a green walkway through the development and outdoor exercise equipment. Higgins will also be delivering Social Value in the community throughout the programme.
How sustainable will the new buildings be?
The new homes will be built to Passivhaus Classic standards, the most energy efficient standards of homes in the UK.
The Fabric First approach to the building design will mean net carbon is reduced by 86%, helping to meet the council's target to be net zero carbon by 2030.
The buildings will use state-of-the-art technologies such as blue and green roofs, as well as air source heat pumps and solar panels to help clean the air locally while helping residents save on their energy bills.
Green roofs on the buildings will help to maximise biodiversity and blue roofs will be installed to manage rainwater runoff.
