Engaging with the community to co-create a new vision for the comprehensive, residential-led, mixed-use redevelopment of Chrisp Street

Telford Living has appointed architects JTP and place consultants AND London to engage with the community to co-create a new vision for the comprehensive, residential-led, mixed-use redevelopment of Chrisp Street. The team will then move forward to prepare a new planning application for submission to Tower Hamlets Council early in 2026.

Community Engagement

JTP, with AND London, are engaging with the resident and business community to ensure their thoughts and experiences help shape the future vision for Chrisp Street.

To start the process, in April and May 2025 we were regularly out and about, saying hello, introducing ourselves, finding out what people like, don’t like, and ideas for the future of Chrisp Street.

On Thursday 29 and Saturday 31 May 2025, we then held an activity packed, multi-day community co-design event, to help shape the vision for Chrisp Street. Over 800 people attended, posted comments on a giant wall map, sat down with the design team to draw ideas, and took part in lots of other fun and interactive activities for all age groups.

Following the co-design event, the JTP team analysed and summarised the outcomes to draw up an illustrated vision for Chrisp Street which was reported back at the Summer Saturday events on 26 July 2025 and 30 August 2025. An update was also provided at the Winter Lights Festival on 22 November 2025.

There will be further opportunities to view and comment on proposals as they are developed in advance of the anticipated planning application submission in 2026.
