Welcome to our final exhibition for the detailed plans of High Path Phase 3
and the revised masterplan of Phases 4 to 7.
The regeneration is already well underway. With the help and support of residents
and the wider community, we can transform the neighbourhood making it:
• a better place to live.
• more connected to its surroundings, with
• homes that meet the needs of residents now and in the future.
Better respond to climate change.
Integrate new and improved design
standards.
Apply the lessons learned during the
pandemic.
Build more new homes, including
more affordable homes available for
Merton residents.

What is an outline planning application?
An outline planning application confirms the
key aspects of the masterplan including:
•The location, size and height of the buildings.
•Position of streets and open spaces.
•The overall number of homes.
Detailed design such as façades and internal
layouts will be covered in future reserved
matters planning applications.
The information presented at this event explains:
What is a reserved matters planning application?
Reserved matters includes details not covered

Our commitments to existing High Path residents
“I used to live in the tower
block next to the new blocks and I
watched from the beginning as they
were being built. I attended all the
consultations and kept in touch with
the Regeneration Manager because I
didn’t want to miss out.”
Testimonial from a High Path Phase 1 resident
Putting our residents first
Photos of completed Phase 1 and community engagement
Clarion has committed to keeping the existing
community intact and in situ. We will work
with residents to keep what is good about
High Path and improve what needs to change.
Together we will create a neighbourhood
that offers a great place to live and enjoy for
generations to come.
Our High Path Residents Offer in 2015
committed us to:
Consult with residents, consider their
interests at all times, and address concerns
fairly.
Offer a fair deal to homeowners.
Rehouse tenants in a new home that
meets their housing need, including larger
homes for families who are overcrowded.
Maintain existing tenancy rights and
agreements.
Ensure, where possible, that residents
only have to move once, directly into a
new home we build for them.
Provide extra help and support for older
and/or residents with disabilities.
Parking will be provided for existing
households moving into a new home on
High Path.
Continue to maintain the existing homes
of residents.
Reinvest any surplus to provide
more homes or improve existing
neighbourhoods.
Build new high-quality, energy-efficient
homes.
Provide new community spaces, play
areas and better access to local transport
links.
Create new jobs, training and
employment opportunities for local
people.

Revised illustrative masterplan
Phase 3 update
A reserved matters planning application for up to 374
new private homes, ground floor commercial space,
public spaces and the energy centre will be submitted
in the coming weeks.
This phase will include part of the new neighbourhood
park - the arrival square, creating a new public space
for everyone to enjoy.
Phases 4 to 7 update
A new outline planning application for Phases 4 to 7
will be submitted in the coming weeks.
The revised masterplan for Phases 4 to 7 will deliver
up to 568 additional new homes, meaning existing
residents will get their new homes on the estate sooner
and there will be more affordable homes available for
Merton residents.
Phase 1 update
Phase 1 is now complete
and provides 134 new
homes.
The first residents have
moved or are in the process
of moving into their new
homes.
Phase 2 update
Planning approval has
been secured for Phase 2.
This phase will deliver 113
homes, ground floor com-
mercial spaces and a new
ball court.
Our vision is to create a new sustainable
neighbourhood that better connects with
its surroundings for the current and future
residents of High Path.
New facilities, public and private spaces will
provide an improved standard of living for all.

In preparations for the Reserved Matters
Application for Phase 3 we want to share our vision
and latest detailed design work for the north-
western part of the estate.
Up to 374 new
private tenure
homes
An energy centre
for High Path
Commercial
spaces
The plan for Lady Emma’s way is to create
a pleasant and vibrant pedestrian link
that enhances the ground floor uses of the
proposed building, including workshop
spaces and cafe areas.
The Phase 3 landscape takes into
consideration the overall masterplan and
sensitively addresses the edges of the other
phases. Phase 3 will create vibrant pedestrian
routes, accommodate parking areas, loading
bays, URS and food waste bins. These areas
are then layered with a generous amount of
planting.
The passageway is further enhanced
by improving the existing lighting,
surveillance and a green wall.
A gateway square visible from
Merton High Street will provide
space for community activities,
wayfinding features and an active
area with the provision of play
facilities to be agreed.
Particular attention has been paid
to the integration of cycle route
within the design of the square.
The aim is to create a space
that is shared with pedestrian
priority.

are opportunities to make the centre partly

approach of the features.
A pocket green at the end of Rowland Way
is proposed with a seating area to welcome
pedestrians into the estate.

Testimonial from a High Path Phase 1 resident
New Homes
Homes will meet or exceed all the latest design,
sustainability and space standards. To help
ensure homes remain adaptable and suitable for
all stages of life, we will include wider doors,
corridors and other best practice measures. This
will enhance the look, feel and accessibility of
homes and communal spaces.
The illustrative floorplans on this board show the layouts of High
Path Phase 2, which starts in 2023. These examples show how the
future new homes in High Path Phases 4 to 7 could look.
