Clapham offers great outdoor spaces and a family-friendly environment


Park estates. Its purpose is to refurbish, demolish and rebuild homes as well as provide support for residents in need. The estate as a whole is home to many majestic established trees and plants. Many of the specimens are covered by preservation orders and any trees felled will either be relocated or new trees planted in their place. The wider regeneration will create three hectares of usable green space, with well landscaped urban areas, secure courtyards for residents to use, local play areas and the whole neighbourhood will enjoy a new park. Each kitchen will have integrated recycling boxes plus onsite recycling stores will further encourage a green approach to waste. In addition, the development will have photovoltaic panels on the roof to generate renewable energy.


THE SITE:


Living at Clapham Park provides so much to enjoy within a short walk from your front door. Residents at The Cavendish Building will be a short walk from


Clapham South Tube station, and well placed to explore the new retail hubs at Poynders Parade, Kings Avenue and Streatham Place. Nearby the 220 acres of Clapham Common, a wonderful outdoor space for the local residents. Clapham Common’s multitude of bars, pubs and restaurants, are within walking distance from the development.
