Our on-site meanwhile uses, alongside the completed development, will seek to provide a physical and economic link directly to the park from Stratford and beyond. To deliver this project, Hadley are working alongside an award-winning team, partnering with Mecanoo, Delva, Buro Happold and Deloitte.
The site, which had previously been awarded detailed planning permission for 767,000 sq ft of office space, will now host a broad range of uses for local residents. Alongside new homes with a high provision of affordable housing, plans will include food and beverage offerings, community gardens, a health & wellbeing-focused community centre, a sustainable transport hub and a flexible workspace, supporting the growth of East London-based businesses.
After acquiring the site in January of this year, the first three months were a race against time to get the grounds ready for the opening of The Lighthouse and Gardens - our community-focused garden and well-being space.
With a programme of events and a number of drop-in opportunities, the Lighthouse offers an excellent opportunity to engage the community and find out what really matters to local people early in the process. Public consultation formally began in October 2022, displaying early ideas for the development to local residents and the wider community, both online and at The Lighthouse. Consultation feedback will inform the development of our proposals in the coming months, leading to our second round of consultation in February of 2023.
