Ballymore wins approval for 1,600-home Royal Docks development

Back to news

Ballymore has secured planning permission from the London Borough of Newham for a 1,667-home mixed-use development in the Royal Docks area near West Silvertown DLR. The scheme will regenerate an industrial brownfield site with new housing, including affordable and family homes, alongside more than 11,000 sq m of light industrial and flexible workspace. Designed by Allies & Morrison, the project aims to build on Ballymore’s nearby Royal Wharf and Riverscape developments. The development will also include more than 10,000 sq m of public realm and 8,000 sq m of communal open space, with a focus on walking, cycling, and active ground-floor uses to support local businesses and community activity. Ballymore has additionally committed £1m toward improvements to Lyle Park, which is managed by Newham Council. The approval follows planning consent earlier this year for Ballymore’s nearby Thames Road project, a separate 1,685-home mixed-use scheme close to the Thames Barrier.
