Tower Hamlets’ approval clears the way for a full rebuild delivering 137 affordable homes with the balance made up of a mix of private, and shared ownership homes.

Designed by PRP Architects, three existing blocks of 72 homes will be replaced with two towers of 21 and 25 storeys and two mid-rise blocks of 6 and 9 storeys.

The scheme includes a courtyard play area, a community garden and two new indoor community hubs

Tiller Road is the latest project in the expanding Riverside–Mount Anvil partnership, which also includes Bellamy Close and Byng Street, Friars Close in Southwark, and 262 affordable homes at Royal Eden Docks.

Marcus Bate, partnerships, planning, communities and sustainability director at Mount Anvil, said: “With this planning success, we have over 1,000 homes under development with our joint venture partners Riverside across four London sites.

“The transformation of the Tiller Road Estate is going to deliver long-lasting positive impact for residents.”
