Demolition Plans Affect Over 700 Homes Across Multiple UK Cities

Several housing developments and demolitions are underway or planned across England. In West Sussex, a proposal for 48 new homes with extensive parking and green space on Burleigh Lane has been submitted despite local opposition due to traffic concerns. Coventry is considering demolishing The Langleys, a historic building dating back to 1622, to replace it with a high-quality self-build house, as the original structure has lost many of its historic features over time. Harlow Council is actively demolishing existing shop units at the Elm Hatch site to build new homes for families on the housing needs register as part of its largest council housebuilding program in 30 years. In London, the Juniper Crescent estate in Chalk Farm is set for redevelopment, replacing 120 flats with five new blocks totaling 478 homes, including social rent units, with construction potentially starting this November. Meanwhile, Milton Keynes council is phasing out and demolishing 180 REEMA flats due to structural issues, relocating tenants to new homes and planning future housing developments on the cleared sites.
