Tustin Estate

In 2021, residents took part in a ballot to help us decide the future of the Tustin Estate. 

The most popular option was to demolish and rebuild the low-rise homes on the Tustin Estate. 

These homes are being replaced with new council homes and key worker housing, homes for returning leaseholders and homes for market rent.

You can find details of our commitments to residents in the Tustin Landlord Offer document.

You can also read the Tustin Estate Residents' Manifesto.

Summary of the Tustin Estate renewal

Plans to renew the estate use a resident-first approach.

The Tustin Estate redevelopment will include 355 council homes for social rent, 98 key worker homes, 17 homes for returning leaseholders, and 220 homes for market rent to help pay for the development. This makes a total of 690 homes, built over 10+ years in 4 phases. 

The redevelopment will deliver:

• 690 new-build homes
• dedicated housing for residents aged over 55
• re-provision of approximately 200 existing council homes
• the refurbishment of some council-owned houses in the Manor Grove area
• a new building for the existing Pilgrim’s Way primary school
• new ground-floor commercial space
• a new upgraded park and extensive landscaping

What will not be changed:

• some of the terraced houses to the north in the Manor Grove area will be refurbished as part of the project
• the 3 towers to the south-east of the estate, which have recently undergone refurbishment works as part of a separate scheme
