Aberfeldy Village
EcoWorld London and Poplar HARCA

In 2012, EcoWorld London and Poplar HARCA established an ambitious partnership to transform Aberfeldy Village in East London. The scheme posed a real opportunity to transform an area that has long needed regeneration. Together, the two organisations formed the Aberfeldy New Village LLP joint venture and gained planning permission for a residential led mixed-use regeneration of the Aberfeldy Estate.The first phase is nearing completion and as it progressed, it became evident that there was scope to do even more and regenerate more areas. A new masterplan was submitted in October 2021 that is far more ambitious, derived largely from stakeholder engagement and co-design with the community. The collaborative approach taken highlights not only the partnership’s desire to create real social value but its long-term commitment to creating a sustainable neighbourhood. Overall, this long-term, trusting partnership is an exemplar of what can be achieved in the drive to solve the UK’s housing trust when the public and private sectors bring their skills together.
