  • A13 Riverside Tunnel Road to Regeneration the Tunnel Is Essential to East London and Thames Gateway’S Economic Success the A13 Riverside Tunnel Road to Regeneration
    The A13 Riverside Tunnel Road to Regeneration The tunnel is essential to East London and Thames Gateway’s economic success The A13 Riverside Tunnel Road to Regeneration Thank you for taking the trouble to find out more about the proposed A13 Riverside Tunnel. The tunnelling of a 1.3km stretch of the A13 will not only improve traffic flow along this key route, mitigating the two notorious bottlenecks at the Lodge Avenue and Renwick Road junctions, but will also transform a severely blighted area. As well as creating a new neighbourhood of over 5,000 homes called Castle Green, the tunnel will act as a catalyst for the building of another 28,300 homes in London Riverside, while creating over 1,200 jobs and unlocking significant business and commercial growth in the surrounding area. The tunnel is essential to east London and the Thames Gateway’s economic success and will stimulate growth along its route as well as easing congestion. It also signifies a new way of working in this country adapted from successful models from other European cities. A large proportion of the scheme could be self-financing, with the majority of the funding being generated by the tunnel itself, through the land value uplift and sale of the homes, the community infrastructure levy and new homes bonus. If the government also supports our proposal for stamp duty devolution in Castle Green, then this would mean further significant funding for the scheme could be secured. Cllr Darren Rodwell Cllr Roger Ramsey Leader of Barking and Dagenham Council Leader of Havering Council Road to Regeneration 03 About the A13 The A13 is one of the busiest arterial routes into the capital, connecting the county of Essex with central London.

  • Barking Riverside Gateways Housing Zone Development Opportunity for 3,000 Homes & Modern Commercial Space
    Barking Riverside Gateways Housing Zone Development Opportunity for 3,000 homes & modern commercial space Executive Summary Barking Riverside is one of London’s largest housing development sites with outline planning approval for 10,800 homes and associated facilities. With 2km of River Thames frontage it offers superb potential to provide housing in a new community with superb accessibility to central London in a borough where property prices are more affordable for London’s workforce. One of Barking Riverside’s current challenges however is the oppressive entrance to the new development through a dated, unattractive industrial area. The contrast between Barking Riverside’s award winning architecture and the industrial area is stark and it also acts as a physical and perceptual barrier between residential communities. Unlocking development potential at the Thames Road industrial area could release capacity for up over 3,000 homes, modern employment space and community facilities and address these challenges. This site is known as Barking Riverside Gateways and has been given Housing Zone status by the GLA. The Council and Be First (see page 8) will be seeking a development and investment partner to work with us to unlock the full potential of the Housing Zone with a strong focus on place-making and transformational change. 3 4. Diverse ecology The development can celebrate the mosaic habitat of the site - former marshland can be restored around the existing, ecologically rich watercourses and riverbanks and enhanced with native flora. The industrial landscape legacy can be retained in sweeping banks of planted grassland. Leafy street corridors, brown and green roofs and courtyardsBARKING with orchard WITHIN THE LONDON CONTEXT trees and food gardens complement the wilder habitats.

    London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) Level 2 APPENDIX D BARKING RIVERSIDE Appendix D Barking Riverside Prepared by WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff August 2017 for London Borough of Barking & Dagenham London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) Level 2 BARKING RIVERSIDE Area Name: Barking Riverside Location: Barking River Catchment: River Roding/River Thames NPPF Flood Zone (majority of area): Flood Zone 1 NPPF Flood Zone (worst case): Flood Zone 3a Introduction The Barking Riverside strategic development site is approximately 1.75km2 in area and is located in the south of Barking and Dagenham (refer to Appendix A). The site is bounded by the railway line and the Thames Road strategic development site to the north, Dagenham Dock strategic development site to the east, the River Thames to the south, and Creekmouth strategic development site, Trafalgar Business Centre and River Road Business Park to the west. Barking Reach Power Station is located in the centre of Barking Riverside but is not included in the strategic development site boundary. In addition, the housing estate at Galleons Drive and Marine Drive along with a number of other smaller areas to the west of the power station are also excluded from the site boundary. This area is currently being developed as part of the Barking Riverside Development which was granted planning permission in 2007. The Barking Riverside Development will provide more than 10,000 homes over the next 15 years with over 650 homes completed to date and a further 698 units due for completion in 2017.

  • A Sense of Place: What's Health Got to Do with It?
    A sense of place: what's health got to do with it? Written by Catherine Max, Iken Associates, who co-lead the development phase of the Barking Riverside Healthy New Town initiative and continues to provide strategic support to the local team If you ask individuals what 'sense of place' means to them, they offer up thoughts like 'it's the people', 'a place with history', 'a place I feel connected to', as well as 'sights, sounds and smells.' The academic literature supports this. For example, we know that 'place attachment', which is the psychological term, is good for mental wellbeing and emerges from a variety of experiences and situations, often related to parks, green spaces, and natural areas. There is also a growing literature about the importance of access to 'blue space' to sustaining health and reducing health inequalities. This is of particular interest to those of us working in Barking Riverside which has 2km of River Thames frontage as well as rainwater gardens and [flood] balancing ponds designed in to the development as features for people and wildlife. And despite being a 21st century 'new town', Barking Riverside has a rich maritime, natural and industrial heritage embodied dramatically on the site by the former power station which was the centre of its industrial purpose until the 1980s. Organisations such as the Creekmouth Preservation Society are playing a crucial role in educating incoming residents about this history and bringing generations as well as older neighbouring communities and newer ones together. Courtesy of Barking Riverside Limited 1 Healthy New Town In April 2016, Barking Riverside successfully bid to be designated an NHS England Healthy New Town as part of a programme which aims to promote wellbeing and independence through cutting edge approaches to built environment design and new models of care.
