Ballymore plans 3,700 homes next to Royal Wharf
Ballymore has submitted two hybrid planning applications to Newham Council for two riverside sites with a total of 3,684 homes in east London.
The first scheme at Thames Road, adjacent to Thames Barrier Park and Pontoon Dock DLR, proposes 1,658 homes, 281 of which would be affordable.
The project also proposes 359 co-living homes, a primary school, light industrial workspace, new parkland, plus ground-floor retail and community spaces.

The second scheme at Knights Road will provide 1,667 homes, 334 of which would be affordable, as well as 43,000 sq ft of light industrial and flexible workspace.
The two sites flank Ballymore’s completed 40-acre Royal Wharf project.
The two latest applications follow Ballymore’s submission of major planning applications in Edgware, north London, and in Ladbroke Grove, W10, over the past 12 months. Together, Ballymore has live planning applications totalling 11,000 homes proposed for London.
Its consented pipeline comprises 5,000 homes which could be delivered in the next six years, including Cuba Street on the Isle of Dogs, E14, and final phases at Embassy Gardens in Nine Elms, SW11, and at its town centre regeneration in Hounslow, the Brentford Project in west London.
Ballymore managing director John Mulryan said: “I’m incredibly proud of the quality of design and future thinking that has gone into these two proposals. We’ve been deeply committed to this part of London for several decades, and it’s a gift to be able to expand upon the success of Royal Wharf so that we can continue to support the neighbourhood’s growth and build upon its character.
“Royal Wharf has become a blueprint for successful brownfield development – completed back in 2020 yet to this day delegations from around the world visit to study the project. We look forward to a determination on the Knights Road and Thames Road proposals and hope to start construction next year.”
