Newham Councillors approve major 7,000-home development in Silvertown

Plans for a massive residential development in Silvertown have been approved by Newham councillors. The project, set on vacant land at the south-east corner of Royal Victoria Dock, will deliver up to 7,172 homes, alongside a primary school, leisure facilities, shops, and restaurants.

Jess Wallis of developer Silvertown Partnership told councillors that the scheme would “bring this significantly under-utilised part of Newham back to life.” The strategic development committee voted to grant planning approval during a meeting on Tuesday, December 9.

According to the plans presented, the development will be divided into four “neighbourhoods.” A key feature will be a “local centre” on the west side of the site, adjacent to Mill Road, which will include shops, restaurants, and office spaces.
