Plans submitted for £500m mixed-use development at Orchard Wharf

Developer Regal has submitted plans for a £500m mixed-use development at Orchard Wharf, next to the mouth of the River Lea. Seven mid-rise buildings, the tallest rising to 30 storeys, will host a safeguarded wharf and logistic centre, and over 200 affordable flats. “Orchard Wharf has been a real labour of love, and we are delighted to present our wider vision to deliver a new riverside neighbourhood with significant student and affordable housing, relieving the pressures on the housing stock in Tower Hamlets – all alongside a reactivated working wharf", commented Steve Harrington, planning director at Regal. “Regal, with Thames Clipper Logistics, will play a key part in further bringing the River Thames into use to support a more sustainable London for the future".
