The Hill Group and housing association Poplar HARCA have received a resolution to grant planning permission for the £800m transformation of the Teviot Estate in Poplar, east London.

The redevelopment will deliver 1,928 new homes over four phases, alongside community facilities, public spaces and a fully relandscaped Langdon Park.

The project will include a new mosque and significant investment in local infrastructure.

The first phase will now start on site next year delivering 475 new homes with first completions expected by 2028.

Designed by architects BPTW, the masterplan spans eight hectares and includes a mix of studios, apartments and family homes.

Andy Hill, founder and Group Chief Executive of The Hill Group, said: “This is a landmark moment for Teviot and a major step forward in delivering lasting change for the community.

“Securing planning permission means we can now move forward with our shared vision, which prioritises creating high-quality homes and improved communal spaces that reflect the needs of residents. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Poplar HARCA and the local community to bring these plans to life.”

Paul Dooley, Director of Regeneration and Development at Poplar HARCA, added: “We’re proud to have secured planning permission for the regeneration of Teviot, a nationally exemplar project, shaped in genuine partnership with the community. This is a real win for residents who gave their time and efforts to make sure this masterplan delivers the things that are important for local people.

“The plans include a mix of affordable homes, with a strong focus on family-sized housing to tackle overcrowding in Tower Hamlets, as well as investment in community facilities and projects that will benefit the neighbourhood for years to come. We’re excited to get started on delivering these plans and working in partnership with Hill to build a brighter future for Teviot.”

The full regeneration is expected to be completed by 2042.
