Taylor Wimpey have managed to beat rival bids from Berkeley, Balfour Beatty, Lendlease and C&C Properties & Pinnacle Group for the £1bn Winstanley and York Road Scheme in Battersea. Situated next to Clapham Junction’s railway station, the Scheme is being promoted as the flagship project in the Government’s campaign to bulldoze and rebuild the country’s worst sink estates. The aim is to regenerate a massive 32-acre site of around 2,000 homes. A mixed-use neighbourhood will be created with a new retail, leisure, community and office space.
