Plan to redevelop largest undeveloped former Royal Docks site approved
Newham council has approved plans for 600 homes at the Silverton scheme in east London’s Royal Docks area.
The Silvertown development, which is being masterminded by Lendlease, involves turning a derelict docklands site into around 6,500 homes.
The latest plans will be delivered in collaboration with The Guinness Partnership and will feature 29% affordable housing. The scheme will include 86 homes for London affordable rent, 88 for shared ownership along with 426 for private sale.
Called Plot 78, the scheme has been designed by Haworth Tompkins and will include two pocket parks as well as commercial and retail space.
Plans for this neighbourhood include restoring a grade II-listed former grain silo, Silo D, as well as a central public park that will connect to the existing Millennium Mills former flour mill building.
The outline site, Silvertown Quays, comprises 27.4 hectares of land, the largest undeveloped site remaining from the legacy of the Royal Docks closure.

Jess Wallis, project lead for Silvertown at Lendlease,, said: “We’re making significant progress at Silvertown, and the site’s immense potential becomes more evident every day.
”This latest plot of homes is a crucial part of that momentum as we work with partners to continue to prioritise the delivery of housing as early as possible in the scheme.”
