A "traditional village feel" has been pitched to residents by a housing association hoping to regenerate their estate, adding close to 100 homes.

Ravensbury Estate in Morden is the third Merton estate earmarked for regeneration by Circle Housing Merton Priory (CHMP).

A draft masterplan revealed to residents at a consultation meeting on Saturday shows low-rise housing and tree-lined streets with a new community centre.

Retaining a single entrance, the estate, if regenerated, would feature six different home types, including two and three-bedroom flats, maisonettes, houses and accessible housing for elderly and disabled residents.

Parking and private outdoor space, including gardens, roof terraces and balconies have been proposed for all homes.

Ninety-five new homes for private sale are planned, adding to the existing 192 properties on the estate.

Of the existing homes, 101 would be demolished and rebuilt, while 91 would be retained or refurbished over a phased eight-year building process.

None of the new homes would be affordable housing, but CHMP promises to retain the existing number of properties leased to social housing tenants at the current rent rates.

Regeneration plans have sparked heated debates between residents, councillors and CHMP staff at public meetings, with 84 residents signing a vote of "no confidence" in CHMP.

Christopher Holt, chairman of the Ravensbury Residents' Association who organised the vote, said: "We find this to be an indication of the methods employed by Circle Housing in which the residents have been pressured into going along with wholesale redevelopment.

"The proposed redevelopment has been considered by some residents to be too intense for the salubrious environment of Ravensbury, ruining the current mood of spaciousness and general well-being for existing residents."

He also said he was concerned freeholders on the estate would not be able to afford new properties.

Paul Quinn, director of regeneration at CHMP, said: "Many of the homes on Ravensbury have defects and problems as they were built as a temporary solution to housing need after the Second World War.

"Repairs can only do so much, so replacing them with high quality new homes is the only long-term option."

He also said CHMP will be conducting door-to-door visits with every resident in November and December to talk through the master plans and answer any questions.

If CHMP chooses to progress with regeneration, a planning application will be submitted to Merton Council in autumn next year.

Eastfields Estate in Mitcham and High Path Estate in south Wimbledon have also been earmarked for regeneration.
