Six Streets Project
Six Streets External Refurbishment & New Build
The Six Streets Hyde Park scheme Transformational Project began on the 1st April 2005 as a Partnership between Doncaster Council, New Deal for Communities and the local residents with funding from what is now the Department of Communities and Local Government. It was estimated to be a 5-6 year programme to transform this area of Hyde Park.
The project is intended to create a radical transformation of an area of pre-1919 terraced houses through selective demolition, area remodelling, home improvement, new build provision, environmental improvements with improved use of public space and a cross tenure approach to area management with strong resident involvement.
Over 250 demolitions were carried out in strategic areas to enable the new build provision to integrate with the remaining 264 existing properties. Selective demolitions to improve access to the rear of these properties have also been carried out and the final demolitions were completed in October 2009.
Doncaster Council has appointed Hobson and Porter Ltd who are carrying out the first phase of refurbishment works in the six streets scheme. This includes Childers, Palmer, Cooper, North and South Streets as well as St Andrews Terrace.
The work started in June 2010, and involves replacing front windows and doors where required. The outer appearance of the homes is also being improved by brick cleaning.
A schedule of work has been created by the contractor so that each resident receives as much notice as possible of the intended dates when work will be carried out to their home. This is to minimise any inconvenience.
Through extensive resident consultation over 95% of owners have indicated they wish to be part of this external works programme.
Following a re-tender process through the Developers Panel to appoint a developer for the cleared site, recommendations that Lovell Partnership be approved as the developer were agreed at Cabinet in July 2010. Lovell’s bid proposes to deliver 122 new homes on the cleared site and they are currently working with the Council to agree a Development Agreement to allow them to progress to a full planning application by October 2010.
