The site on the north bank of the Thames has planning permission for 463 riverside apartments and a new Sainsbury’s supermarket.

It will also will include restaurants, cafes and bars, a crèche, a gym, landscaped gardens, a riverside walk and the use of a jetty to create an ecological area for riverside wildlife.

The development will be delivered in two phases.

Phase one includes construction of a new  9,395 square metre supermarket for Sainsbury’s together with 267 residential units of which 52 will be shared ownership.

The residential blocks wrap around the new supermarket as well as extending above the building and range from 2-17 storeys.

Phase two comprises the demolition of the existing superstore and the construction of 196 units, including 14 social rented homes.

Alastair Baird, Regional Managing Director of Barratt London said: “Our London portfolio is expanding fast – we now have over 3,000 units under construction across the Capital in 17 boroughs providing homes ranging from £120,000 to £3.5m.”

The scheme has been designed by Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands
