Watts Grove Resident Newsletter Issue 1, January 2017
New Homes for Watts Grove We have been working hard to bring together a scheme for new housing on the vacant site in between Watts Grove and Gale Street. We wanted to update local residents on the progress we have made and provide the most recent images of the designs, which we will be putting forward to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets this year. Our plans are for 65 homes on the site, made of a mixture of 1, 2 & 3 bedroom units to accommodate the many different needs of the people in the area. The indicative ground floor plan (right) shows how we are bringing together a variety of unit sizes Caption across the site.

The tenure mix of the scheme is yet to be confirmed but we are hoping to provide a high percentage of units for shared ownership purchase enabling more home ownership within the Bow area. The bottom image to the right shows a view of the development from Gale Street. This provides an understanding of how the site will open up an access route from Gale Street through to Watts Grove along the south of the site. This will strengthen the connection residents of the wider area will have with Furze Green and allow more families easier access to enjoy the space.
Ground floor plan of the proposed scheme
We believe that our proposal is mindful of the surrounding properties, whilst still providing a modern scheme that will bring a large number of affordable homes to the Borough.
