The former Gasworks is an important site in Beckton, owned by St William Homes LLP (part of the Berkeley Group). The site has been allocated in the 2018 Newham Local Plan for comprehensive residential-led, mixed-use development. The redevelopment provides an opportunity to bring forward high-quality new homes, a mix of other uses, significant public realm and connections to and through the site, including access to the historic river frontage.
Community Planning Weekend
St William is committed to working closely with the local community and appointed architects and community planners from JTP to facilitate the Beckton Gasworks (Phase 1) Community Planning Weekend (CPW) in November 2023, which was open to everyone. Building on the community engagement work commissioned by LB Newham for the wider Beckton Riverside allocation, the aim of the CPW was to consider issues and opportunities and help shape the Vision for the future regeneration of Beckton Gasworks and its relationship with the wider area through facilitated workshops, walkabouts and hands-on planning groups.
