Barking Riverside Ltd plans to develop a paved footpath, public square, and play area along the River Thames at the former Barking Power Station site. This redevelopment aims to enhance access to the river while protecting local ecology and reducing flood risk. A straight paved path will replace an unpaved footpath, ensuring safety and immersion in coastal grassland habitat. Features include a terrace for events, a children's play area, and a lookout viewpoint, all contributing to the project's focus on ecological preservation and housing delivery in London.
The redevelopment of the Barking Riverside site aims to improve access to the River Thames while protecting and enhancing the local ecology, which is extremely rich.
Matthew Carpen emphasized that this project will enable the delivery of urgently needed housing in London, fulfilling both mayoral and borough priorities.
The approved plans include a new paved footpath and public square designed to enhance ecology, provide a children's play area, and create a lookout viewpoint for visitors.
Raised bunds will be constructed alongside the path to reduce the visual impact of human activity on nesting bird populations, ensuring ecological balance.
