News on Royal Docks and Riverside Map

Back in 2020, you helped us shape the Vision and Principles for the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF). Through pop-up events, community sessions, one-to-one meetings, youth sessions, and our online website, we had the opportunity to hear your thoughts and gather feedback, ensuring that the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside becomes: a lively, healthy place, a connected resilient place, an enabled innovative place, and an empowered diverse place.

Since we last talked to you, we have been working hard to put together the strategic framework to guide the future growth in the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside. Incorporating your feedback on the Vision and Principles, we have prepared a draft OAPF which is now open to consultation from 7 February to 21 March 2022 . The OAPF will help guide where new homes and jobs are provided up to 2041. This includes the infrastructure to support them, for example, public transport, local connections, utilities, and community facilities. The OAPF includes high–level strategies and recommendations that help shape the future of the area. We also came up with some ideas on what this OAPF could mean for seven places and a set of new and improved local connections.

Given that strategic planning affects all of our lives, It is vital that local people sit at the heart of these plans, to ensure future development meets community needs while celebrating the area's heritage.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for participating in the previous round of engagement and invite you to give us your thoughts on the consultation draft.
