Redbridge (East London Times) September 12, 2026 — A landmark residential scheme on the High Road in Goodmayes has reached official completion, delivering 573 new apartments to the London Borough of Redbridge. As reported by property correspondents covering the local authority, the One Goodmayes development was delivered by housebuilder Fairview New Homes in strategic partnership with Clarion Housing Group and regeneration specialist Hadley Property Group.
To mark the milestone, executive leadership teams from Fairview, Latimer, and Hadley joined civic representatives for a celebratory site visit and walkthrough on Tuesday, 8 September. The delegation included Redbridge Council Leader Councillor Kam Rai and Deputy Leader Councillor Vanisha Solanki, who inspected the completed residential blocks, commercial facilities, and landscaped public spaces.
The completed masterplan encompasses a wide mix of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments designed to meet varied demographic demands within the local housing market.
How Does the Housing Mix Address Local Affordability Needs?
The tenure structure at One Goodmayes allocates 387 properties for private sale, 90 apartments for shared ownership, and 96 for affordable rent. In total, 186 properties operate as below-market-rate housing, representing a 35 per cent affordable contribution across the scheme.
As detailed in media releases by Fairview New Homes, the affordable housing element was delivered in conjunction with Latimer, the development arm of Clarion Housing Group. The land itself was originally acquired by Hadley Property Group, which secured initial planning consents before the site was transferred to Fairview through a joint transaction with Latimer.
Alongside the residential properties, the scheme incorporates:
- Commercial Spaces: Four ground-floor commercial units sold to a local investor. Confirmed operators include a local supermarket chain, The Baklava Company, and a tuition centre providing educational support for local families.
- Public Realm & Amenities: A civic square, dedicated community allotments, and a central cycle hub.
- Accessible Transport Solutions: Two car club spaces featuring adaptive hand controls for drivers with physical disabilities, accompanied by three years of complimentary car club membership for all incoming residents.
What Have Key Stakeholders and Council Leaders Said About the Milestone?
As reported by regional news outlets covering East London planning developments, executive leaders across the housing and public sectors emphasized the impact of multi-agency collaboration.
Speaking on behalf of the developer, Jon Spring, Managing Director at Fairview New Homes, stated:
“Completing One Goodmayes is a significant milestone for Fairview New Homes and, most importantly, for the local community. We are proud to have transformed the site into a vibrant new part of the neighbourhood, delivering high-quality homes across a range of tenures alongside new public space for residents and the wider community to enjoy.”
Mr Spring further noted that the successful handover highlighted “the real impact that strong partnerships between developers, housing providers and the public sector can have.”
Addressing the broader urban housing challenge, Richard Cook, Chief Development Officer at Clarion Housing Group, noted:
“One Goodmayes is a great example of how working with key partners on mixed-tenure development can give people more options in an increasingly unaffordable city. The 186 affordable homes for rent and shared ownership will enable households with different needs and circumstances to make their home in Redbridge.”
Mr Cook added that for Clarion, “the real measure of success is what is happening now, as residents move in, put down roots and make the development their own.”
Civic leadership similarly commended the completion. Councillor Kam Rai, Leader of Redbridge Council, highlighted that delivering around 200 affordable homes directly tackles borough-wide housing strains, adding that the site’s proximity to Seven Kings and the Elizabeth line positions it as a key driver for sustainable local growth.
What is the Background to the One Goodmayes Development?
The completion of One Goodmayes marks the final stage of a multi-year regeneration plan for the High Road site. Formerly occupied by a retail warehouse (Homebase), the site was identified under Redbridge Council’s local planning framework as a major opportunity area for housing-led regeneration along the Elizabeth line transport corridor.
Hadley Property Group initially acquired the brownfield plot, navigating the complex urban design and planning stages to secure planning approval. To facilitate construction at scale, the site was transferred via a joint deal to Fairview New Homes, with Clarion Housing Group acquiring the affordable housing allocation through its delivery branch, Latimer. The project moved into active construction phase in early 2023, requiring extensive coordination across ground engineering, public realm design, and utility integration to deliver the high-density mixed-tenure scheme.
How Will This Development Affect the Local Redbridge Community?
The full handover of the 573 homes at One Goodmayes carries direct economic, social, and infrastructural implications for residents and prospective buyers across Redbridge:
- Housing Relief for Local Families: The addition of 96 affordable rent homes and 90 shared ownership properties directly relieves pressure on Redbridge Council’s housing waiting list, providing accessible pathways onto the property ladder for first-time buyers.
- Boost to High Road Retail: The integration of four commercial units—housing a supermarket, local food businesses, and educational tuition services—will drive footfall along the High Road, boosting localized economic resilience.
- Transport and Parking Adjustments: With a focus on sustainable transport via car club allocations and cycle infrastructure, nearby residential streets will see managed parking impacts, while Elizabeth line station footfall at Goodmayes and Seven Kings is projected to increase.
- Community Integration: The creation of shared public realm spaces, including allotments and a central square, provides a new focal point for civic interaction between existing Goodmayes residents and incoming households.
