JV submits new plans for £3.5bn Silvertown megascheme

Developer Lendlease has submitted a hybrid planning application covering a near-50-acre site at the Royal Docks in Silvertown. The scheme would create around 6,500 homes, 50% of them affordable; it would also include refurbishing the long-derelict Millennium Mills building, where more than 780,000 sq ft of "next generation work and creative spaces’ would be created alongside a surrounding ‘employment quarter". Lendlease says the development would “embrace its dockside location” and benefit from the Custom House station on the Elizabeth Line. The developers said they will create one of the greenest new neighbourhoods in London, with all homes and commercial spaces supplied with hot water and heating through a zero-carbon district heating system.
