Committee Report for EETV Application No. : 11 /00727/FUL Ward: Thames Reason for referral to The application is a strategic development which is of a scale DCB as set out in and importance that should be determined at DCB. Section I of the Council Constitution: Address: Land adjoining Bastable Avenue and Renwick Road, Barking, Essex Development: Redevelopment of site to provide 276 affordable residential units involving a mix of houses and flats in buildings of three and four storeys comprising 70 one bedroom units, 35 two bedroom units, 124 three bedroom units and 47 four bedroom units together with 246 on-street and courtyard car parking spaces, related highways works, including the creation of a new southern extension to Crouch Avenue and a new junction with Bastable Avenue, landscape and play areas, ancillary services and utilities, revisions to the bus stand/turning area and the formation of a new public square. Applicant: Thames Partnership For Learning Ltd and London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Summary: The application site (4.2 hectares) forms the eastern end of the Thames View Estate which was developed as a residential estate by the borough in the 1950s and 1960s. The application site was most recently occupied by 247 residential units, comprising four 9- storey blocks of flats, three to four storey maisonettes and 25 houses. The site was cleared in 2008. This report relates to an application which has been submitted by Thames Partnership For Learning Ltd and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham for redevelopment of the site to provide 276 affordable residential units (151 houses and 125 flats/duplex flats). The eastern edge of the site would comprise 5 four storey apartment blocks running north to south next to Renwick Road with a new linear park separating the blocks from the road. The centre of the site would comprise three storey houses with three or four bedrooms located around courtyards which would be used for car parking and informal play. Terraces of three storey houses would front Crouch Avenue and Bastable Avenue. The proposed development would provide a total of 246 car parking spaces located either on-street or in courtyards. The application also seeks permission for related highways works, including the creation of a new southern extension to Crouch Avenue and a new junction with Bastable Avenue, landscape and play areas, ancillary services and utilities, revisions to the bus stand/turning area on Bastable Avenue and the formation of a new public square on Bastable Avenue. The redevelopment of the site is part of a wider and long term redevelopment strategy for Thames View Estate as identified in the agreed Thames View Masterplan (July 2009) (Cabinet Report agreed 16 June 2009, Minute 15 refers). The main planning considerations relating to the proposal are the principle of the development, density and housing mix, affordable housing, design, internal design, amenity space and play space provision, transport and parking, flood risk, sustainability and energy, biodiversity, archaeology, noise, local labour/goods and services, and S106 matters. The application proposes a high standard of design and should result in high quality dwellings and spaces that are livable, sustainable, accessible, attractive, durable and well- integrated with their surroundings. The proposal is considered to comply generally with the relevant London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Local Development Framework policies, the relevant London Plan policies, and relevant national planning policy. The application is referable to the Mayor of London under Category 1A of the Schedule to The Town and Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008, namely ‘Development which comprises or includes the provision of more than 150 houses, flats, or houses and flats’. Accordingly, if the Development Control Board recommends that the application be granted, the Mayor of London must be consulted again and given 14 days to decide whether to allow the draft decision to proceed unchanged, or to direct refusal of the application. Reco mmendation: That the Development Control Board recommends planning permission be granted subject to any direction from the Mayor of London; the conditions listed below (with any amendment that might be necessary up to the issue of the decision, including any other conditions that may be required as a result of referral to the Mayor of London); and the completion of a S106 Agreement securing an Employment, Skills and Suppliers Plan and the Nominations Agreement for the Development: Conditions: 1.

  • 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.

  • Public Meeting to Discuss Thames Road Closure
    PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS THAMES ROAD CLOSURE th th (From 9 ​ April to 9 ​ October 2018) ​ ​ th THURSDAY 19 ​ APRIL 2018 1900-2045 ​ @ Christ Church, Bastable Avenue Chaired by Matt Scott Project Director Barking Riverside and Allan Thacker Chair of Thames TRA Welcome & introduction Allan opened the meeting and explained it was to discuss the implications of the th th work being carried out in Thames Road from the 9 ​ April to 9 ​ October 2018, and ​ ​ the lack of communication from the developers or Barking & Dagenham Council. Much later in the day Thames Water did 3 consultation events with no real effort made to take on board concerns but simply to give out limited information. Residents need to hold those responsible for the lack of engagement to account tonight and in the future. By holding regular public meetings, the aim is to ensure the community comes together and campaign. He introduced Matt Scott who, since he has been employed at Riverside has been invaluable working with the whole community. Matt reiterated the purpose of the evening being for residents to voice their concerns and to take collective action. The issue that had brought people together was the th th partial closure of Thames Road from the 9 ​ April to 9 ​ October 2018 but behind that ​ ​ action was a lack of engagement and accountability. The need to upgrade the sewerage pipes and sewage system would have been known about a long time ago so there was no excuse for the lack of engagement and dialogue with local people and lessons for the future needed to be learnt.

  • River Thames and Tidal Tributaries Summary
    Metropolitan Site Reference: M031 Site Name: River Thames and tidal tributaries Summary: The Thames, London’s most famous natural feature, is home to many fish and birds, creating a wildlife corridor running right across the capital. Grid ref: TQ 302 806 Area (ha): 2304.92 ha in London, 171.22 ha in Barking and Dagenham Borough(s): Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, City of London, Greenwich, Hammersmith and Fulham, Havering, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Richmond upon Thames, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth, Westminster Habitat(s): Intertidal, Marsh/swamp, Pond/Lake, Reed bed, Running water, Saltmarsh, Secondary woodland, Vegetated wall/tombstones, Wet ditches, Wet grassland, Wet woodland/carr Access: Free public access (part of site) Ownership: Port of London Authority (Tidal banks) and Private (Riparian owners (non tidal banks)) Site Description: The River Thames and the tidal sections of creeks and rivers which flow into it comprise a number of valuable habitats not found elsewhere in London. The mud-flats, shingle beach, inter-tidal vegetation, islands and river channel itself support many species from freshwater, estuarine and marine communities which are rare in London. The site is of particular importance for wildfowl and wading birds. The river walls, particularly in south and east London, also provide important feeding areas for the nationally rare and specially-protected black redstart. The Thames is extremely important for fish, with over 100 species now present. Many of the tidal creeks are important fish nurseries, including for several nationally uncommon species such as smelt. Barking Creek supports extensive reed beds. Further downstream are small areas of saltmarsh, a very rare habitat in London, where there is a small population of the nationally scarce marsh sow-thistle (Sonchus palustris).

  • Consultation on Proposed Changes to Bus Routes EL1 and 387
    Consultation on proposed changes to bus routes EL1 and 387 Response to the main issues raised August 2013 TfL response to the main issues raised This document summarises TfL’s responses to the main issues raised. Responses to this consultation are contained in a separate document. Both are available on the TfL website. Set out below, are the main points put to us during the consultation and our response to these. Our proposals Barking Riverside is a proposed 150 hectare mixed-use development site situated at Barking Reach with planning permission for 10, 800 homes, a district centre, secondary school, and two local centres (including the Rivergate Centre). The expected completion date for the entire development is 2033. Once completed the first two phases of the development will consist of 3,300 homes, the Rivergate local centre (with a primary school), health and nursery provision, and a secondary school. New East London Transit routes EL1 and EL2 were introduced in February 2010 (which included the withdrawal of route 369 and the shortening of related route 179). A recent refresh of plans for bus services in the area has been undertaken with new data becoming available and the requirement to take into account the redevelopment of Thames View Estate and the resultant loss of the EL1 bus stand at Bastable Avenue. Route EL1 currently runs between Ilford Broadway and Thames View Estate 24 hours a day. We proposed to extend it to Barking Riverside (Mallards Road) via Renwick Road, Thames Road, Marine Drive and Galleons Drive. Frequencies would remain unchanged. Route 387 currently runs between Little Heath, Haw Bush and Barking Riverside, Mallards Road.

  • Appendix 2 , Item 5. PDF 63 KB
    Appendix 2 Eastern End Thames View Detailed Design April 2011 Context This is a detailed design document for the Eastern End of Thames View, a vacant quarter at the end of Thames View Estate, Barking. This document provides a background of the site and the masterplan which was finished in 2009. It details the relevant policies for any future development on the site and the minimum design requirements. Location The Eastern End of Thames View is a vacant piece of land at one end of Thames View. It is bordered on the east by Abridge Way and Renwick Road. Bastable Avenue cuts through the lower portion of the site, running west to east. The A13 runs to the north of the site, and immediately adjacent to the northern boundary is the rail line that links London with the East and Kent. The site is flat and currently fenced off. Size The original size in the masterplan was 5ha. This included a strip of land along the southern edge that is proposed to be developed into two rows of houses (11 and 12 in each row). After consultation with the existing residents of Thames View, this part of the development is not deemed to be viable, so is removed from the Eastern End of Thames View. The remaining, developable area of the Eastern End is 4.25ha. This includes the entire strip of land adjacent to Renwick Road and a small block in the northern corner on Wivenhoe/Crouch Avenue for housing. Transport links The site, while being close to the railway and A13 has the feeling that it is not very well linked with Barking or surrounding areas due to the physical barrier of the A13.
