Aylesbury Estate Southwark Council has agreed to redevelop the Aylesbury Estate to create an improved community for all residents.
On September 27 2005 the council's executive committee decided that the most cost effective solution was redevelopment rather than to refurbish the estate.

What is happening now?
We are working in partnership with the Aylesbury New Deals for Communities programme, local residents and a range of external partners such as housing associations to demolish the estate in stages. It will be replaced with around 5,000 homes for rent under housing association control and homes for sale or shared ownership. The first part of the estate to be redeveloped (phase 1a) will include 260 new homes, a new Aylesbury resource centre (to replace the day centre) and some commercial units will be constructed on the site.
The rest of the estate will be developed in a phased manner over the next 15 years. In addition to new housing we will be providing
- Improved open spaces
- Health/medical facilities
- Childcare facilities
- Youth facilities
An Area Action Plan (AAP) is being developed for the new area. This is a key planning document that will bring together the physical, economic and social agendas to make the new area work.
