Plans have been put forward to bulldoze 80 homes and replace them with 263 new flats in Woolwich.

Hyde Housing has applied for permission to Greenwich council to erect the flats on the Brookhill Estate across six residential blocks, the highest of which would be seven storeys.

It’s the latest high-profile application that could come to Woolwich with the area potentially set to see many changes over the years.

The planning application states that existing residents are “intended on being rehoused within the proposed units”, with the plans to bring new affordable and “private sale” flats.

The six residential blocks could see three as high as seven storeys, one block at six storeys and two at three storeys

Along with hundreds of new flats, the Brookhill Estate could also see 77 car parking spaces added to the surrounding area.

It is not yet clear when the application will come to the council’s planning board.

Hyde has been contacted for comment.

The development would be just the latest in a short space of time in Woolwich as new homes are ploughed into the area.

Last month, planning permission was granted for a disused Catholic club to be knocked down for almost 300 student flats.

The huge tower blocks of 14, 11 and nine storeys will now be built, with developers hoping the project will be completed by September 2024.

Meanwhile, a closed public market could also be set to see huge changes after plans for the indoor hall were put forward.

Developers are first looking to refurbish the market ahead of potential plans to transform it to an arts centre and cinema.

Plans are also going in front of senior councillors to allow them compulsory purchase powers in their bid to improve Woolwich.

Spray Street is at the centre of the plans, and could get new houses, shops and restaurants if plans are approved by the local authority.

But council officers have warned a compulsory purchase order may need to be invoked to allow the council to “take legal ownership of the land”.
