Planning permission for Albert Island 25.03.21

The London Borough of Newham has granted planning permission to London + Regional for their Albert Island Masterplan, designed by Haworth Tompkins with Industrial Architect Ashton Smith. HT have been working with L+R and the GLA since 2016 to bring forward a comprehensive redevelopment masterplan for the site. The scheme will create a well-connected, sustainable hub with a mix of uses, good cycling and walking links, and an enhanced river frontage with improved public realm establishing much needed employment uses in an integrated piece of the City. Technical design work for the first buildings is now underway, with an anticipated start on site in 2022.
