The mayor of London has published a blueprint for regenerating part of the London riverside with 26,500 new homes.
Boris Johnson’s draft London Riverside Opportunity Area Planning Framework has set out the planning, regeneration and design guidance that will lead to the homes being built across the boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, and a small part of Newham.
The London Riverside Opportunity a stretches from the Royal Docks to Rainham Marshes, a total distance of 12 kilometres across east London. It is a 20-year plan that is now open for consultation until 20 March.
Sir Edward Lister, deputy mayor for planning, said: “London Riverside can deliver genuinely affordable high-quality housing for Londoners in a fantastic Thameside setting.”
Much of the land in the London Riverside is already in the public ownership. The framework also recommends speeding up the development of publicly owned land to deliver jobs and homes.
