Bellway London has secured detailed planning permission to build 105 new apartments as part of the third and final phase of its Legacy Wharf regeneration project in Stratford.

The housebuilder has also gained outline planning permission for a further 238 apartments within this phase of the scheme, off Barbers Road.

Permission for the hybrid application was issued in November following referral to the Mayor of London and the signing of a planning agreement.

The detailed plans include 84 affordable homes for shared ownership or London Affordable Rent across two buildings, as well as new public space with provision for a street level café and additional commercial space. Construction work on this part of the project is due to start in Spring 2026.

Detailed plans for the remaining 238 new homes, across seven blocks from six to 14 storeys high, are due to be submitted to Newham Council in Spring 2025.

Will Weston-Smith, Land Director for Bellway London, said: “Securing planning approval for phase three unlocks the final land parcel for our redevelopment scheme at Legacy Wharf. We are extremely proud of this project in which we are transforming a former industrial brownfield site to create a sustainable new neighbourhood as part of the legacy of the London 2012 Olympics.

“We can now progress with our plans to build the 105 homes which have detailed planning permission. This part of the project will see us deliver 21 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments for the private market and 84 one to three-bedroom apartments as affordable properties.

“As part of the planning agreement for phase three, we are set to contribute more than £569,000 towards improvements to local infrastructure and services as well as £3.6 million through the Community Infrastructure Levy. We will also provide free car club membership for three years for the first residents of each home.

“This investment will include funding towards a new cycle hire docking station, Marshgate Lane bridge, London Legacy Development Corporation’s inclusive economy work, and mitigating construction impact on local roads.”

Bellway London plans to build a total of 735 new apartments at Legacy Wharf across three separate phases. The 196 new properties in phase one have been all built and sold. In phase two, the first selection of the 196 homes being built were released for sale in September 2024.
