Three thousand new homes coming to Beckton Gasworks

St William, part of the Berkeley Group, has secured planning approval from the Borough of Newham's Strategic Development Committee for the £250m redevelopment of the 30-acre Beckton Gasworks site, with plans to deliver 2,977 new homes. A riverside park, an energy centre, car and cycle parking and other open spaces are also proposed. The homes are planned across 34 blocks of between six and 15 storeys height. “There is still a long way to go to bring this project into delivery, and we continue to work closely with the council, the Greater London Authority, Homes England and local stakeholders to develop a viable scheme that unlocks the site’s enormous potential", said St William managing director Dean Summers. “Berkeley Group is ready to invest over £250m in the first phase to remediate the site, strengthen flood defences, upgrade local infrastructure and begin creating a sustainable new neighbourhood in east London".
