In December 2024 we announced our proposal to close the four blocks of flats at Aragon House, Boleyn House, Howard House and Parr House in Winchcombe in order to regenerate the site to provide alternative affordable housing.
Over the past few years we have had several complaints from customers living in the four blocks about the condition of their homes. While addressing these complaints we have carried out several investigations into various aspects of the blocks. These have concluded that they suffer from poor energy efficiency which makes them expensive for customers to heat, as well as structural problems which have been responsible for condensation, damp and mould issues. This is making the flats increasing difficult to let to new customers.
Taking all of this into consideration we have decided to close the flats and find new homes for all existing customers to enable the demolition of the blocks and the regeneration of the site.
Updates
