Ballymore is planning to submit a new application to Newham Council for a major riverside neighbourhood, two-and-a-half years after Mayor Sadiq Khan said the project needed more affordable homes. The 11-block development on the Thames Road industrial estate in Silvertown now includes 350 affordable co-living homes. The hybrid application is expected to be resubmitted this June with 798 homes in the detailed element and 862 in outline. Other changes made by lead architect Howells include second staircases added to the buildings, and an increase of 28 in the total number of homes, to 1,638. The project still includes more than 16,000 sq m of light industrial space, 25,000 sq m of public realm and park space and a 5,000 sq m primary school. |
