Silvertown Way Community Planning Weekend

Local residents and representatives from local organisations participated in the Silvertown Way Community Planning Weekend on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 April 2015 at St Luke’s Community Centre, Canning Town to help create a new Vision for this important site.

People took part in workshops, walkabouts and hands-on planning groups to consider key issues and opportunities for the site and its relationship to the wider Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Area. Topics discussed included how the new development can benefit the existing community including the public access to and through the site, provision of community facilities and art spaces, opportunities for green landscaping in and around the development and how to integrate new residents into the Canning Town community.

Following the public workshops, the JTP team have analysed and summarised the outcomes and created an illustrated Vision for the site, which was reported back to the community on Wednesday 29 April at St Luke's Community Centre.

Background
Canning Town and Custom House are undergoing a major transformation led by the London Borough of Newham, with several major developments in the pipeline and with a big push for regeneration of the town centre. In 2013, the Mayor of London announced that it would release 2.56 hectares of land south of Canning Town station and west of Silvertown Way to enable the delivery of a high-quality residential-led development which benefits from good access to public transport. The redevelopment provisionally includes approximately 1100 homes, including affordable and private rented homes, and 8000 square metres of non-residential floor space, including a new hotel.

Site developers Linden Homes has appointed JTP, architects and community planners, to work with the local community to create a new Vision for the site, incorporating a viable mix of new homes and other uses.

Following the creation of the Vision, the team will develop the proposals further in consultation with the community and other stakeholders and draw up a detailed planning application for the site, which will be submitted to Newham Council in the autumn.
