The London Borough of Newham have the green light to Barrier Park East, which will include commercial and retail space, new public open space and a play area – with over 370 affordable homes and over 130 three- and four-bedroom homes for families.
The homes will be built to Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.
London Development Agency chief executive Peter Rogers said:
“Thames Gateway holds the key to London’s future success. Barrier Park East is part of the drive to build new, environmentally-friendly homes that Londoners need. We look forward to seeing a vibrant, sustainable community thrive on this former industrial site.”
