Barking Riverside is far more than a large new housing development – it is about 'place-making' on a huge scale. The public realm and generous community facilities are an integral part of the vision – with new schools, shops and healthcare amenities tailored to meet the needs of the whole community.

We have high aspirations for the area. The ambition is to create a new community where people want to settle and stay because they feel proud of where they live. The site has exceptional potential and its qualities offer an excellent starting point for the creation of a new, inspiring urban district.

The competition will select the two independent Design Teams to be appointed to work with Barking Riverside Ltd on the first two (Eastern and Western) of four stages of sub-framework plans, set within the context of the approved masterplan and the Urban Design Guidelines, which will total the first 4,000 homes to be built on the site.

Barking Riverside Ltd is a joint venture company of the national regeneration agency English Partnerships and Bellway Homes plc.
