Tower Hamlets has set out how it will deliver its 52,000 home growth pipeline under Future Places, packaging publicly controlled land, direct council development and major regeneration sites into a single market facing programme. As national and London wide policy sharpens its focus on growth and housing supply, the borough is positioning itself to deliver at scale.
The report includes up to 10,000 homes at South Poplar and Billingsgate to the north of Canary Wharf, 3,300 homes across more than 40 council owned sites, and 1,100 homes to be delivered directly by the council over the next six years. The borough is seeking development and investment partners to accelerate delivery across these sites. The pipeline builds on one of the strongest housing track records in London. Since 2011, Tower Hamlets has delivered more than 38,000 homes, more than any other London borough and granted consent for over 9,000 additional homes in the past year alone.
