Plans submitted for £1bn Stratford regeneration masterplan

A £1bn masterplan for the Carpenters Estate in Stratford has been submitted to the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), proposing to deliver thousands of new homes across a “left-behind” 23-acre site in east London. The outline plans submitted by Populo Living, Newham Council’s housing delivery company, envisage one of London’s largest-ever estate regeneration programmes, with 2,151 new homes built across the 23-acre site and more than 50% available for social rent. A total of 314 existing homes will be restored to ensure that some existing council tenants and homeowners can remain on the estate. The masterplan will now be submitted to the London Legacy Development Corporation. Phase one of the plan has already begun, with the refurbishment of James Riley Point securing planning permission in May, and will see the first 136 homes completed by 2025. The second phase will see the refurbishment of existing flats, with the full regeneration expected to be completed in the late 2020s.
