The planned buildings will vary in height from 8-18 storeys. They have been designed by Guy Hollaway Architect and will boast rooftop allotments.

The Royal Engineers Road plans include 220 flats, which could be delivered as build to rent or speculative homes for sale. 

Richard Upton, Deputy Chief Executive of U+I said: “The project team has worked hard over the past year to develop a creative and compelling vison for Royal Engineers Road.”

“The plans will bring forward a high quality residential-led scheme, which with the inclusion of a build to rent element, providing local residents with greater choice.”

The project is one of four U+I developments within London City Region ‘Huburbs’ and within an hour’s commute of central London.

The developer has revealed a construction programme for 5,000 PRS homes around the National Stadium

Funding and planning is in place and Quintain said “construction will also be at a pace not seen at any other major development site, with 3,000 homes under construction by the end of 2017.”

The 5,000 homes will be delivered in phases over the next seven years.

The developer currently has four contractors on its Wembley framework – Carillion, McLaren, Sisk and Wates. But work could be opened up to new firms.

The homes will be available through Quintain’s build to rent business Tipi which was launched last April.

By the end of this year there will be 3,000 homes under construction, alongside a new seven acre public park, a new landscaped London square, a three-form entry primary school and a wide range of shops, restaurants and workspaces.

Quintain has already invested £900m in the transformation of Wembley Park and has a further £800m of funding secured.

Angus Dodd, Chief Executive of Quintain, said: “Our commitment to build to rent at Wembley Park means we can deliver the homes London needs far faster than if we were selling homes privately and ensures they will be occupied very shortly after they are complete.

“This long term commitment also means we can design homes specifically for the needs of today’s generation of renters and provide fantastic shared facilities and professional management arrangements which our residents love. We will ensure no apartment is left empty.

“Quintain owns the entire 85 acre site – a huge area in the context of London – allowing us to deliver in a co-ordinated manner the apartments, the parks, the outdoor spaces and the commercial, retail and entertainment uses which are such an integral part of Wembley Park.

“We are creating, a 21st century great estate for London, in tune with what all Londoners want today and enhancing and contributing to the wider borough of Brent.”

Cllr Muhammed Butt, Leader of Brent Council, said: “To have 3,000 new homes under construction in one location this year shows just how in demand Wembley Park is as a place to live and it is comforting to know that with professional management in place, we won’t have a single rogue landlord.

“I have been hugely impressed with the quality of homes being built at Wembley Park and Quintain has also made a huge investment to upgrade all the public spaces around the area to bring the place alive with events, shops, workspaces and other attractions.”

The council’s recommendation to select the firm as preferred development partner is set to be rubber stamped on 14 February.

Lendlease was up against rival bids from Morgan Sindall with Clarion Group; and Pinnacle with Starwood Capital and Catalyst

Over the next 20 years the Haringey Development Vehicle joint venture will drive construction of 5,000 new homes and a new town centre in Wood Green.

The development sites proposed for the first phase of regeneration are the former Cranwood care home in Muswell Hill; the council’s civic centre, Station Road offices and library in Wood Green; and the Northumberland Park regeneration area.

Haringey council leader, Cllr Claire Kober said: “This 50:50 partnership ensures the Council is involved in all decisions and crucially can ensure that a share of the profits goes back into other regeneration initiatives, affordable housing and funding the services we provide to residents.” 

If the decision to appoint Lendlease is approved a final decision on whether to establish the Haringey Development Vehicle is expected to be made by Haringey council’s cabinet in the summer of 2017.

Developer Knight Dragon commissioned “starchitect” Santiago Calatrava to design the scheme above North Greenwich station.

He has created a glass galleria and 80ft high “winter garden” atrium surrounded by three towers.

The development will also be linked to the other side of the Thames by a new bridge.

The Peninsula Place scheme will include 800 apartments, 30,000 sq ft of offices, a hotel and around 80 shops, restaurants and bars.

The bus station will be rebuilt while the tube station will remain open during construction.

Mr Calatrava told the Standard: “It is an honour to be designing such a piece of the fabric of London, a city I love. In designing this scheme, I have been inspired by London’s rich architectural heritage and the very special geography of the Peninsula.

“It will be a project that reflects both this and the ambition of Knight Dragon for Greenwich Peninsula.”

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, said: “Peninsula Place will create a new buzzing, cultural destination in the capital, which I’m confident will attract visitors not only from London, but around the globe.

“The iconic building – designed by world leading architect Santiago Calatrava – will be a truly fitting pathway onto the Peninsula, with the development offering an improved tube and bus station, alongside new shops and homes.

“This investment in key infrastructure in the capital is a vote of confidence post-Brexit and shows that London is open to business, trade and attracting the greatest talent from around the world.”

Ultimately the £6bn Lee Valley scheme, led by Enfield Council teamed up with Barratt as its main development partner, will deliver 10,000 new homes. 

Land remediation specialist Cognition Land and Marine are on site pioneering a new US method for removing oil and non-aqueous chemicals with limited groundwater extraction.

The NET method uses oil attracting fabrics running continuously in a loop on conveyors into ground wells to recover pollutants, reducing the need for expensive water treatment.

A soil remediation contractor will be named by Enfield Council for Meridian Water’s phase one by the end of February to start on site in April.

Once Barratt has achieved detailed planning for the first 725 homes later this year principal contractors will be appointed.

The vast site covers a 210 acres located  between Edmonton, Tottenham and Walthamstow.

The first homes are due to be completed in 2019 alongside a new station.

Phase One will also include shops and public spaces around a new railway station.

Cllr Doug Taylor, Leader of Enfield Council, said:  “Today is the day that Meridian Water moves firmly from vision to reality.  Many people said ‘it couldn’t be done’ but today we have started works to prepare the site for the first 725 new homes, we have the new railway station funded and being delivered and we have the UK’s largest homes builder as our selected Development Partner.”

Plans for the new £500m ground will see the current stadium demolished.

A club statement said: “We are grateful that planning permission was granted for the redevelopment of our historic home.

“The committee decision does not mean that work can begin on site.

“This is just the latest step, although a significant one, that we have to take before we can commence work, including obtaining various other permissions.”

The new stadium has been designed by architects Herzog and de Meuron and construction work is expected to last three years.

Contractor Hill will now start work on the first phase of Fish Island Village development, which lies next to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

The housing projects at Neptune Wharf and Monier Road, will include affordable rent, shared ownership, and intermediate market rent homes. There will also be some private sale and market rent homes.

The initial phase of 408 homes and workspace, designed by Haworth Tompkins, will be spread over 13 buildings on the site of former warehouses next to the Hertford Union Canal.

These buildings will sit alongside structures by Pitman Tozer and Lyndon Goode Architects in the later phases taking the development up to 580 homes with 55,000 sq ft of workspace operated by The Trampery, a London-based social enterprise.

Fish Island Village

Fish Island Village is part of an ambitious plan to revive this site in East London and to engage the vibrant artistic community while creating much needed homes and affordable workspaces to help build on the thriving creative industries at Fish Island.

Cube office building will sit 12m above the ground

The 14-storey cube-shaped office building replaces earlier plans for a landmark 72-storey residential tower, nicknamed the ‘Paddington Pole’, which was abandoned after running into fierce opposition.

Great Western Developments and development partner Sellar Paddington are aiming to build the distinctive building – likened to an ice cube – at the former Royal Mail sorting and post office site adjacent to Paddington Station.

Designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop, the 360,000 sq ft Paddington Cube would sit on a three storey podium 12m above 1.35 acres of newly created public realm.

The Paddington Quarter development will accommodate more than 4,000 new jobs for Paddington and include 80,000 sq ft of retail and restaurant space over five levels, including a rooftop restaurant.

£65m is being invested in public realm and major transport infrastructure improvements

The former car park forms the third phase of the First Central development in Lakeside Drive.

The cleared site was purchased for more than £40m and also comes with outline consent for 60,000 sq m of office space and will contain 800 apartments.

The site was formerly part of the Guinness factory and previous residential phases have been completed by Bellway, Redrow and Catalyst HA.

The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) Planning Committee has produced a planning brief for a residentially-led mixed-use scheme.

The Fairview/L&Q joint venture has retained architects, Allies and Morrison, to design a scheme in excess of 800 apartments with commercial space on the ground floor.

Fairview Land Director Richard Paterson said: “We are delighted to be working with L&Q in a 50/50 joint venture for the first time and we welcome more joint projects of this type.

“This location is already ‘tried-and-tested’ with the success of an earlier phase and its proximity to Park Royal underground station on the Piccadilly Line and Hanger Lane on the Central Lane, not to mention direct access by road to the A40 Western Avenue and the A406 North Circular.”

Jerome Geoghegan, Group Director of Development and Sales at L&Q said: “We are pleased to be able to collaborate with Fairview on this exciting new development at Park Royal and we are confident we will be able to bring our extensive experience to help deliver this important site. L&Q are one of the leading residential developers in London and the South East, building high quality homes for people across a range of incomes.

“We have ambitious plans develop a pipeline of new homes over the next decade and partnership is at the core of our approach – working together to deliver communities that make the capital an even better place to live”.

Victoria Hills, Chief Executive of the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation, said: “OPDC is delighted that Fairview have joined forces with L&Q First Central to help drive forward delivery of hundreds of new homes in the area and we look forward to receiving the planning application in due course.”
