Go-ahead given for 2,100 homes at Bromley by Bow gasworks

Newham Council has given the green light for plans to turn the largest surviving group of Victorian gasholders into a new neighbourhood with 2,100 homes. The Bromley by Bow Gasworks site, near the border between Newham and Tower Hamlets, comprises seven disused Grade II listed gasholders. Under plans drawn up by architect RSHP for St William Homes, a joint venture formed by Berkeley Group and National Grid, these will be restored to incorporate many of the new homes within the cast iron structures. The remaining homes will be built in higher rise surrounding cylindrical buildings echoing the gas holder homes. A Section 106 legal agreement has to be finalised with London’s Newham Council, before work can begin on site in 2025.
