Chatham Views – Some people may be negative about it, but it will be positive for those in need of affordable housing
The affordable housing which will feature one, two, three and four bedroom apartments, has a modern exterior, a car park and a small playground for children.
Based on information from a statement from the Government, there will be 228 homes in total at the new Chatham Views, 44 of which are purpose-built for the elderly, leaving 184 flats for people to buy whether or not they are on the housing list. The government had stated that three bedroom apartments are the most in demand, and that one bedroom apartments are the least. Because of this, there are to be 106 three-bedroom flats. 34 two-bedroom flats, 40 four-bedroom flats and only 4 one-bedroom flats.
Mr Picardo stated, 'No doubt there will be people who are negative about the design, negative about the location, negative about the height... the net positive for people and young people in our community who need and want to buy affordable property is absolutely huge, its massive, this is the right thing to do.'
