The new application seeks to double the previously approved capacity of 10,800 homes

Barking Riverside Limited (BRL) has submitted one of the largest planning applications in the UK, proposing the delivery of up to 20,000 homes at Barking Riverside.

The development - London’s largest in single ownership - covers 443 acres of brownfield land and is set to become a significant part of the Government’s ambition to deliver thousands of new homes. Stantec is the planning consultant and masterplanning architect.

So far, 2,700 new homes have been built on the site formerly occupied by the historic 1920s Barking Power Station, almost 40% of which are affordable.

Approximately 6,000 residents now live in the community and a further 1,000 homes are under construction.
