Keir Hardie Way

The garage site is bounded by private rear gardens to the east, front gardens to the west and Ripple Side Cemetery to the south. Located 10mins walk away from Upney station. The PTAL rating is 1b.

Freehold sale of the site will be by way of informal tender. The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham are seeking subject to planning offers. The purchase price will be subject to stamp duty.

Important to note is that the site is in flood zone 1 (low risk), has some potential overlooking from neighbours and that a sprinkler requirement is likely (dry fire main inlets to be provided within site due to limited fire service access). The site is identified within London borough of Barking & Dagenham’s Draft Local Plan Small Sites Allocations.

Due to size and layout constraints more than 10 units on this site is considered highly unlikely, which is the minimum required for affordable housing to be delivered. Should a scheme trigger affordable housing, 50% is expected on public sector land. Tenure mixes are expected to be in line with the Planning Note provided.

Proposals should aim to be zero carbon in operation and are required to be designed in accordance with the London Plan’s energy hierarchy. A minimum 10% of carbon savings should come from energy efficiency measures alone.

The London borough of Barking & Dagenham’s Innovative Sites Programme (ISP) seeks to promote good design on small sites throughout the borough, help diversify the pool of developers working in the borough and promote high standards of sustainability and use of Modern Methods of Construction.

In line with the GLA’s Small Sites Small Builders’ programme, the objectives of the ISP include the facilitation of housing delivery by SME developers and specialist Housing Associations.
