Lendlease has secured planning consent for the delivery of a further 326 affordable homes at Silvertown in the heart of the Royal Docks in London.
The new affordable homes will be delivered in partnership with The Guinness Partnership with construction due to commence in autumn this year.
Designed by Gort Scott, with landscaping by Churchman Thornhill Finch, the buildings will also include new retail units.
Jess Wallis, development director at Lendlease, said: “These new affordable homes are urgently needed in Newham, and their early delivery highlights the strength of the partnerships and commitment to collaboration that are driving the Silvertown regeneration forward.
“Progress on leasing the first retail units and improved access to Victoria Dock, are exciting examples of how this scheme will have a positive impact on the lives of people already living in the area as well as establishing Silvertown as a unique destination within London.”
Kevin Williams, group director of development and commercial Services at The Guinness Partnership, added: “We are proud to be bringing the next 326 affordable homes to this ambitious new neighbourhood in Newham. These are part of the next phase of the new Silvertown development, where we will be delivering over 700 new affordable homes. We are really pleased to be part of Silvertown’s exciting future.”
