A place for the whole community

Manor Road Quarter will be a proper neighbourhood. We’re creating 804 sustainable 1, 2 and 3 bedroom homes for all sorts of families, 50% of which will be affordable, available at London Affordable Rent or for sale via Shared Ownership. There will be space for businesses and shops to serve the growing community, all built around a 2.9 acre new park.

Making a (social) impact

Directly opposite the underground and bus stations, Manor Road is really well connected and highly sustainable. The buildings will have vegetated blue roofs, that safely capture storm water run-off. Alongside the new public park, they will provide a habitat for local wildlife and increase biodiversity.

Sustainability built in

We’re raising the green bar at Manor Road – we’re aiming for a 64% carbon emissions reduction compared to building regulations targets. We are also targeting Net Zero Emissions in operation through the procurement of renewable energy.

Community conversations

We have listened to the community of Canning Town, engaging with local people, community groups and representatives throughout the project. We’ve had four community conversations in the neighbourhood centre and have also gathered lots of helpful feedback through a dedicated website and email address.

Skills and training

We’re committed to providing employment and training opportunities for local people. The construction has already involved many members of the local community, young and old, allowing them to upskill and helping create many new opportunities for others.

Timeline

2018

Consultation

We held three consultation events in the local community. These were well attended, with lots of positive feedback given about how informative the sessions were. They have now helped to shape the masterplan.

2019

In planning

We submitted our hybrid planning application for homes in an urban parkland in 2019, and they passed in December of that year.

2021

Phase 1

Building got underway in September 2021, including a large part of the park and 355 new homes across three buildings, one of which will be a striking addition to London’s skyline at 32 storeys tall!

2023

Phase 2 in planning

We’ve submitted plans for the rest of the park and 290 more homes, 145 of which are affordable, available at London Affordable Rent and for sale via Shared Ownership. We’re also creating spaces for shops to provide amenities for the growing community.

2025

Future plans

The final homes will commence, positioned at the end of Canning Town’s high street, on Barking Road. These homes will form the gateway between the existing townscape and the new park and community at Manor Road.

2027

A proper neighbourhood

By the end of 2027 our new neighbourhood should be complete and flourishing.
