Barking Riverside submitted for planning
Tuesday 23 December 2008
MaccreanorLavington and KCAP have submitted their 2000 home scheme at Barking Riverside for planning. The development is in the heart of the Thames Gateway and within easy reach of the city of London.
A major emphasis in the application has been placed on providing high quality family housing with more than 45% of the homes proposed in the second stage being three bedrooms. A variety of open spaces, including new access routes to the riverfront, will form an important element in the overall East London Green Grid Framework. The public profile and size of the development has the capacity to act as a catalyst for delivering enhanced public transport across the region.
Barking Riverside will create a sustainable long-term community of some 26,000 people, contributing to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham’s continued commitment to regenerate and enhance the lives of it residents.
