Deputy Mayor praises progress on a vital London development
A nationwide placemaker have been hailed by the deputy to celebrate the launch of a mixed-use scheme that will deliver much needed affordable housing.
The development, which is being delivered by Muse, a nationwide placemaker, in partnership with Housing and Regeneration Association Poplar HARCA, is situated in Bromley-by-Bow.
Located between Bruce Road and Bromley High Street, Stroudley Walk – the name of the new development – will provide the local community with 274 new homes in total, ranging in size from one to four bedrooms, from studio apartments to four-bedroom, terraced family homes.
In addition, 52% of the project will be made up of affordable housing – 82 homes will be available for London Affordable Rent and 33 for shared ownership.
Against this backdrop, all three- and four-bedroom homes will be delivered as London Affordable Rent for the families who need them most.
The Deputy Mayor for Housing and Residential Development, Tom Copley, said: ‘I’m pleased to celebrate the progress at Stroudley Walk which will deliver 115 new genuinely affordable homes in East London, alongside green areas, and community spaces.
‘This impressive development builds of City Hall’s record level of affordable housebuilding across the capital and will ensure that more Londoners can benefit from new, high-quality homes – helping to build a better, fairer, more prosperous London for everyone.’
In regard to the green areas that will be created, the harsh concrete that currently paves the way of Stroudley Walk will be softened by 33 new trees and additional plats, the delivery of a pocket park and public spaces. This new outdoor space will promote biodiversity, improve natural surveillance, and encourage street play and community activities.
Isabelle Asante, senior development manager at Muse, said: ‘Stroudley Walk provides a unique opportunity for the Bromley-by-Bow community, with 52% affordable housing, public spaces, and most importantly community spaces.
‘Our plans set out to honour Bromley-by-Bow’s rich history and heritage, whilst building for the future and creating meaningful social impact for the local community.
‘It was great to welcome Tom onto site, to show the capability Stroudley Walk and thank the GLA for their support on the project to date.’
The entire development is expected to be completed by Autumn 2025.
