Newham approves 4,000-home Canning Town development

23rd February 2018

Newham Council has given unanimous approval for a 4,000-home development at Stephenson Street, Canning Town, on the 29-acre former Parcelforce site. The Berkeley Homes project will be one of the densest housebuilding schemes in the capital, with 356 homes per two-and-a-half acres – well above the 260 maximum recommended in the Mayor’s London Plan. The first phase of the development will have 1,020 homes in towers up to 377ft tall, with a further 2,790 to be added later. Around 2,500 of the properties will be available for private sale or rent.
