PTEa won the competition to redevelop the Packington Estate in Islington in 2005, and planning permission was granted in May 2007: our plan is to transform the current 1970s estate into a network of new and restored squares with a park running the full length of the site alongside the Regent£s Canal. The current Packington Estate consists of a series of concrete slab blocks set in underused communal green space, but is bordered by conservation areas on three sides and on the south side by the canal. The new Packington neighbourhood will reintegrate the old estate with the surrounding area by reinstating the pattern of Victorian streets and elegant squares common to Islington, and realise the potential of the urban waterway which it borders.
