London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) and leading property developer Ballymore have established a partnership to create outstanding communities at Stratford Waterfront and Bridgewater Triangle knitted into Stratford. These neighbourhoods aim to deliver exemplary design with around 1,400 new homes and a model for sustainable development in London for the future.
Both sites have been granted ‘Outline Planning’ permission which means the general principles have been agreed. The projects have now progressed into a more detailed design stage.
For the Stratford Waterfront site, the ‘Reserved Matters’ application—submitted in March 2024—was approved by the Local Planning Authority in November 2024. This process confirmed the design details for the site. The intention is to submit additional applications for Bridgewater Triangle in autumn 2025.
Over the coming months, community engagement company make:good will be speaking to local residents and stakeholders about the proposals for Bridgewater Triangle to help shape the updated designs.
