Mixed-use development

Plans submitted for mixed-use east London development



Plans for the transformation of a key site in East Ham, east London, into a mixed-use scheme have been submitted by a joint venture partnership.


Yorkshire-based retail developers Dransfield Properties and site owners Land Management (East Ham Regeneration Limited) are working with Barratt London on the new development, which will regenerate the 1.9-acre Market Hall site in East Ham and create new jobs and homes in the area.

The development site is surrounded by Ron Leighton Way, Pilgrims Way and St John’s Road in East Ham with pedestrian access off Myrtle Way.

The design – which includes new public spaces linking to the high street, as well as a landscaped courtyard and roof gardens – was created by London architects RMA.

The plans aim to transform a currently run down and under-utilised site into a vibrant development in the heart of the community.

The plans – which were submitted to Newham Council – include:

  • 277 flats and duplexes
  • 35% affordable housing
  • the redevelopment of the Market Hall with 21,500 sq ft of retail and restaurant space
  • new areas of public space, a landscaped courtyard and roof gardens, as well as the relocation of the existing local authority car park

Mark Dransfield, managing director of Dransfield Properties, said: “This is our first major London development and we are delighted to be working with a great team of professionals on a scheme which will deliver real change in this part of east London.

“We have been working with Newham Council for three years to ensure a quality scheme is delivered which will set the standards for future development in the area.

“Our plans represent an opportunity to not only transform the site with some really striking architecture, but to create new public spaces, amenities and, of course, much-needed new homes.”
