Plans in for next 1,600-home phase of East London estate

The next phase of the Tower Hamlets scheme, Aberfeldy West, will see 1,600 homes built, alongside up to 25,500 sq ft of new retail space and up to 29,100 sq ft of new offices.

The developers are seeking detailed permission for Phase A and outline permission for the rest of the masterplan site in Poplar.

Subject to planning consent, it is hoped that the next phase of works at Aberfeldy Street and Blairgowie House can start on site in late 2022/early 2023.

Phase A will deliver new homes on Aberfeldy Street, at Blairgowrie Court and on Lochnagar Street.

The following phases will be delivered in stages between 2026 and 2032.

At the heart of the plans to improve connectivity across Poplar are the proposals to transform the existing Abbott Road underpass into Highland Place.

The expanded development plan will also see new public realm, including a public park, Highland Park, and a new town square at the end of Aberfeldy Street.
