All eyes on the Truman show: Public consultation launched for Truman Brewery regeneration

A London-based property development company has commenced the first round of neighbourhood consultation for the redevelopment of parts of the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane.

Plans that have been proposed for the regeneration project in East London, which have been designed by Buckley Gray Yeoman (BGY), who have been given the role of master planner, include retained and new buildings, commercial space, new public realm and new, affordable homes.

Grow Places, a London-based property development company, have now launched the first public consultation to gather locals thoughts and feelings on the new plans. 

In addition to BGY working on the project, the development will also be delivered by Carmody Groarke, Morris + Company, Henley Halebrown and Chris Dyson Architects.

Against this backdrop, Publica has been hired to manage the urban design and the public realm will be created by Spacehub. Arup is the consultancy on sustainability and multidisciplinary engineering and planning consultancy is being looked after by DP9.

Each of these groups will be working across seven developments that are situated across the entire site.

‘We are excited to embark on this journey in partnership with the Truman Brewer and local people. Together we aim to evolve the site in an authentic and sustainable way, so that the Truman Brewery continues as a vibrant and diverse open to local, Londoners and visitors from all over the world,’ Tom Larsson, founder of Grow Places said. ‘This neighbourhood consultation marks the beginning of a collaborative effort to shape the future of this historic site for all.’

As well as a public consultation being launched now, a further round is due to be held in early 2024 informed by the community responses received and by further discussion with Tower Hamlets Council and other stakeholders.
