Setting sail for Gallions Quarter

21st November 2014

Newham Council is expected to approve an 800-apartment development next to a sewage treatment works to the east of the Royal Docks. Planning officers have already recommended that the local authority’s strategic development committee greenlights the Gallions Quarter project, despite concerns over its proximity to the sewage works and the Docklands Light Railway. Notting Hill Housing Trust says the first phase of the 3.4 hectare development will consist of three buildings between five and 12 storeys high, with more to come at a later date. Around 40% of the scheme has been earmarked for affordable housing. It is anticipated that the project will take around seven years to complete.
