An interesting detail from the recent RSG meeting, all site traffic coming in to the estate will turn left into Teviot St. from the A12. That means up to 64 construction vehicles a day, of which 48 HGVs, going down this narrow estate road. Around 250,000 trips over 15 years.

The demolition schedule says that Chadbourn St. is scheduled to be demolished "October 2026 to February 2027". It also marks it as being for private sale, but with "right to return / social" in brackets.

I had this wrong - the Teviot Estate units involved in the current regeneration scheme were transferred in 1998, part of the initial transfer that formed Poplar HARCA And rather than given free or for a peppercorn, LBTH actually paid Poplar HARCA £19k for each property (ave.)

When was the Teviot Estate transferred to Poplar HARCA from Tower Hamlets Council? 6/6/2007 Cabinet approved transfers of Aberfeldy, Brownfield and some of Teviot, but transfer of the parts of the Teviot Estate covered by the current regeneration scheme was later Anyone know?

All blocks - 1 to 27 - are to be demolished under the Teviot Estate "regeneration" scheme Isn't this an estate replacement scheme, not regeneration? Replacing a mostly-social housing estate with a mostly-private sale estate
