Phase 3 is the final phase of Portobello Square – the regeneration of the Wornington Green estate by Catalyst. The outline masterplan for the estate received planning permission in 2010.
It included:
- Up to 1000 new homes for social rent, shared ownership and private sale.
- No loss of social housing.
- New commercial spaces.

Combined, they will deliver 643 new homes – with over half for social rent – as well as new commercial space.
