Newham Council Planning Committee has unanimously approved our proposals for 600 high-quality new homes within the Prior and Partners designed-masterplan Silvertown. The development is a key part of the regeneration of Silvertown, which is being led by The Silvertown Partnership, (LB Newham, The Guinness Partnership, the Royal Docks and Lendlease) in conjunction with the GLA and Homes England with the vision to create a new community inspired by the industrial heritage of the Royal Docks, and will provide thousands of new homes, community facilities and creative employment opportunities.
Our work was informed by our expertise in connecting to the character of a place, with a design that looks to reference Silvertown’s rich industrial history and celebrating the character of its dockside and waterside setting and adjacency to the Grade II listed Silo D. The vision is to deliver high-quality homes around high quality residential courtyards designed in collaboration with Landscape Architects CTF, and the proposals will provide:
- 600 high-quality, mixed-tenure homes (Shared Ownership, London Affordable Rent, and Private)
- Commercial space
- New public spaces and public realm including two pocket parks
- Active and welcoming street frontages
- Enhanced landscaping and places to relax, socialise and play
- Improved connections to Grade II Silo D
- Secondary staircases added to all the buildings improving residential fire safety
Construction is due to commence early 2026.
