“This infrastructure funding will enable The Silvertown Partnership to create new communities in the heart of East London and bring swathes of derelict brownfield land back to life.”

Working along with the Greater London Authority (GLA), TSP has committed that 50% of homes in this neighbourhood will be kept affordable.

Enabling works to prepare the site for the first phase have begun. Construction of the new homes is expected to commence later this year.
