Plans
As part of the improvements to the Brunswick area, S4B will be building new homes for sale and for rent, new road, shops and an extra care housing scheme – as well as refurbishing existing homes and carrying out environmental improvements in the area.
The regeneration has brought major investment to transform Brunswick, including:
- Improvements to more than 650 council homes – including new modern kitchens and bathrooms, external works and improved energy efficiency
- Creating 322 new high-quality family homes for sale and 200 for council rent with a variety of desirable designs and property types
- New extra care housing for 60 older people and a day care centre with community facilities
- Improving the layout of the neighbourhood through removing or gating existing alleyways, with new and existing houses facing onto open streets with natural surveillance, and introducing a new green boulevard diagonally through the estate, well-kept streets and safe open spaces
- Providing a new hub with new shopping and community facilities including a neighbourhood office.
- Significantly increasing the number of car parking spaces within individual properties from 67% (current parking provision) to 95%.
- Improving the green and recreational areas within the neighbourhood through landscaping the park and planting more trees, providing new higher quality play areas and new sports pitches, and introducing new city allotments and an orchard.
Some houses needed to be demolished to be able to greatly improve the layout of the neighbourhood including gating alleyways and providing an open and green routes for all residents and visitors

Here is an outline of the improvements:
New Homes
We will be building a range of two, three, four and five bedroom council homes and home for sale as part of our regeneration proposals.
There will be no difference between council and private for sale homes.
There will also be new Help to Buy options available, helping Brunswick residents purchase new homes.
New homes for sale are completed on the land fronting Upper Brook Street at the end of Plymouth View. You can view the new Sales show home on Upper Brook Street
New Roads
New roads are being built as part of the masterplan to increase the natural surveillance of the neighbourhood making the area feel more open. The new roads will have traffic calming and be 20 mph Zones.
Demolition
Demolition has been completed with 250 properties demolished and residents rehoused. The last demolition was the old shops
We conduct daily patrols around the site to ensure any attempted entry or vandalism is identified immediately.
Environmental improvements
The regeneration of the Brunswick neighbourhood will see improvements to many green space areas including:
- improvements to the local park
- new community orchard
- allotment plots
S4B will also be carrying out refurbishments, reversals & demolitions as part of the improvement works.
