Berkeley Group and National Grid through their St William joint venture have submitted an outline planning application for the redevelopment of the Beckton Riverside site in Newham, E6.
The Beckton Riverside Phase 1 site is approximately 30 acres and forms part of the former Beckton Gasworks site.
The proposed application from St William consists of 2,900 homes, up to 54,000 sq ft of commercial and community uses and five public spaces.
It sits within the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside Opportunity Area, one of the largest regeneration areas in London with the potential to deliver 36,000 homes and 55,000 jobs.
St William has worked alongside the Greater London Authority, Transport for London and Newham Council on proposals for Beckton Riverside since 2015. The OAPF was adopted by the GLA in May 2023.
The Beckton Riverside allocation covers 138 acres and includes land owned by St William, GLA Land and Property and the existing Gallions Reach Shopping Park.
The site was the largest gasworks in Europe operating from 1870 to 1976, spanning 550 acres.
