Waltham Forest had an ambitious vision to develop a public services campus from their historic, but tired, town hall, and to provide much needed housing on vacated, surplus sites. OPE support, and Land Release Fund funding enabled the local authority, HM Courts and Tribunals Service and the National Probation Service to bring their complex programme to fruition, redeveloping public estate for over 500 homes, alongside new hospitality, leisure, and learning spaces.
