Green light for Silvertown development

28th October 2016

Newham Council has granted planning permission for the 62-acre Silvertown Quays project in the Royal Docks, paving the way for the construction of 3,000 homes, of which over 1,000 have been classified as affordable. The £3.5bn scheme is a partnership between the Greater London Authority, which owns the land in Newham, and the Silvertown Partnership. Work has already begun on the site, based around the 1930s Millennium Mills building which used to house a flour factory, with 500 tonnes of asbestos already removed. The new residential communities will be built alongside more than 50 commercial buildings for offices and showrooms, alongside new parks, schools and health facilities.
