Plans submitted for new homes at Royal Docks

Ballymore has submitted a planning application for a mixed-use quarter at the 15-acre UNEX-Thames Road Industrial Estate in London’s Royal Docks. The proposals at the site, identified as suitable for mixed-use development in the Newham Local Plan 2018, include up to 1,610 new homes, including three-storey townhouses, lower blocks of six-to-nine storeys and taller blocks of between 15-to-18 storeys, as well as light industrial and commercial space and a two-form entry primary school. The proposal also features a major new public park along the river and community leisure facilities, such as a gym, outdoor pool, tennis court, rooftop running track and café. If planning is successful, construction is estimated to start in 2023, with the site anticipated to complete 2027.
