Next phase of Aberfeldy given go-ahead

The mayor of London has approved EcoWorld London and Poplar Harca’s plans for the next phase of Aberfeldy Village, E14. The consented plans include more than 1,500 homes, 39% of which will be affordable. Of the affordable homes, 89% will be social rent. Aberfeldy Village’s regeneration will also include more than 38,000 sq ft of public open space. The scheme also include 25,000 sq ft of commercial space and 28,000 sq ft of workspace. The masterplan is designed by architects Levitt Bernstein working alongside a design team comprising Morris+Company, LDA Design and ZCD Architects. Lisa Gledhill, managing director of development at EcoWorld London, said: “It has been an honour to work with the community so closely to get this over the line. Hearing why, although they are so happy to call Aberfeldy home, it is important to them for the change to continue. “We’re proud of the positive change that we, our partners and Tower Hamlets Council have delivered so far, and we’re excited that this decision will enable change to continue.” To send feedback, e-mail akanksha.soni@eg.co.uk or tweet @AkankshaEG or @EGPropertyNews
