Plans for a huge 7,000-home development in Silvertown have been approved by councillors in Newham .

The development on vacant land at the south-east corner of Royal Victoria Dock will include up to 7,172 homes, a primary school, leisure facilities, shops and restaurants.

Jess Wallis of developer Silvertown Partnership told councillors the scheme would “bring this significantly under-utilised part of Newham back to life”.

Councillors on the strategic development committee voted to grant planning approval to the development at a meeting on Tuesday (9th).

Plans presented to the councillors said the development would be formed of four “neighbourhoods”.

These would include a “local centre” on the west of the site, adjoining Mill Road. It would include shops, restaurants, and offices.
