Help shape our proposals for

Orchard Wharf

Welcome to our consultation website on the proposed redevelopment of Orchard Wharf, E14

Location of the site in its surrounding context

As you may be aware, in December 2020, Regal London submitted a planning application to deliver a mixed-use redevelopment of the site, including reactivating the safeguarded wharf, 826 homes, as well as new connections through the site.

Following submission, the decision was taken to withdraw the planning application in Spring 2023.

Working with a new design team, led by Howells, we are in the early stages of preparing revised proposals for the site. The key principles of the previous scheme remain the same, including our commitment to reactivating the safeguarded wharf and prioritising the delivery of affordable housing. However, the revised scheme will see the introduction of purpose-built student accommodation, to meet an identified and growing need.

The project team

Regal London has over twenty years of experience building high-quality, mixed-use developments in the capital, including in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

We are invested in becoming a long-term partner in the borough providing high-quality affordable homes and student accommodation. We’ll also work with local employment organisations for the construction jobs and continue to communicate with neighbours throughout the construction process.

Howells are a group of architects, designers and makers. We make buildings and places that transform cities, create communities and enrich lives.

Howells has a proven track record of working in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, designing both London City Island and Blackwall Yard, which achieved planning permission in 2021.
