CASE STUDY 2: Leabridge Road, Leyton
A disused car showroom in Leyton has made way for a development of new affordable homes for local people.
The former forecourt and showroom had stood empty for several months, but now the £3.5 million development of 55 apartments is complete.
The majority of the new homes are available for shared ownership, allowing people the opportunity to gain a foothold on the property ladder by buying a minimum 40% share in their home, and renting the remainder.
The development has brought a redundant site back into use and put home ownership within reach of local people who would otherwise be priced out of the property market.

Ranging from one bedroom apartments to six bedroom houses, the mix of accommodation offers affordable homes, properties dedicated to key workers, and additional houses developed for low cost ownership.
The development boasts a strong sense of community with integrated shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.
