“Securing planning approval for phase one at Pudding Mill Lane is a significant step forward in delivering a new, mixed?tenure neighbourhood for east London,” said Rob Wilkinson, managing director at Vistry South London.

“We look forward to starting construction this autumn, where we will continue to work closely with LLDC to bring forward a thriving new community.”

Darren Parker, executive director for development at LLDC, added: “This decision marks a significant step forward for our JV with Vistry and for the continued evolution of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

“By bringing forward the affordable homes within this development, we are reinforcing our long-term commitment to building mixed, sustainable communities that reflect and support the communities of east London as part of the 2012 Games legacy.”
