Canary Wharf: planning for the future

9th December 2016

Tower Hamlets Council has published a Draft Local Plan, setting out how the borough will meet its need for housing, employment and amenities over the next 15 years. The blueprint aims to build a minimum of 10,000, and potentially up to 26,350, new homes on the Isle of Dogs and in south Poplar. Fifteen key sites have been identified, including Billingsgate Market, Hercules Wharf, and Clove Crescent, the latter pair situated close to East India Dock. Trilogy Property has already unveiled plans to transform the East India locale, by building a 650,000 sq ft tech and start-up campus and creating Europe’s longest freshwater outdoor swimming pool. "I chose the area by looking at where the young, energetic, bright, innovative people are going to live”, Robert Wolstenholme, founder of Trilogy Property, comments.
