Ballymore has submitted hybrid planning applications for two riverside sites in East London that will deliver 3,684 new homes.
At Thames Road, adjacent to Thames Barrier Park and Pontoon Dock DLR, the housebuilder has submitted proposals to build 1,658 new homes – 281 affordable – in addition to 359 co-living suites, a new primary school, light industrial workspace, new parkland and ground floor retail and community spaces.
At Knights Road, near West Silvertown DLR station, it intends to build 1,667 new homes – 334 affordable – as well as 4,000 sq m of light industrial and flexible workspace.
The two sites flank Ballymore’s 40-acre Royal Wharf project which was completed in 2020.
John Mulryan, managing director of Ballymore, said: “I’m incredibly proud of the quality of design and future thinking that has gone into these two proposals for the Royal Docks. We’ve been deeply committed to this part of London for several decades, and it’s a gift to be able to expand upon the success of Royal Wharf so that we can continue to support the neighbourhood’s growth and build upon its character.
“Royal Wharf has become a blueprint for successful brownfield development – completed back in 2020 yet to this day delegations from around the world visit to study the project. We look forward to a determination on the Knights Road and Thames Road proposals and hope to start construction next year.”
