Douglas Bader Park
Find out why we're investing in a new future for Douglas Bader Park.
The build of the new estate will be split into three phases and when you move will depend on the phase your existing home and new home are in.
The new estate has been designed with residents' input, with an improved layout to better relate to the surrounding area. There is a significant investment in new modern homes and greenspaces which means it will be a long and complex build programme.
We have now revised the detail of the build programme with three distinct build phases. The indicative timeframe is 10 years to complete all aspects of building the new homes (for all tenures) and greenspaces by 2031.
There has been a slight change to the build programme due to the delays we encountered moving residents temporarily in phase one. The timetable below reflects these changes. This differs from the decant charter issued in September 2021.
We will let you know if anything else changes, and we continue to update you about the build programme with letters, the website and one-to-one meetings.
As the build programme progresses, we will confirm exactly when you need to move. This will be done with resident meetings on a phase-by-phase basis. The below table shows estimated timescales.
