Plans for mixed-use development at Canary Wharf submitted

The Wood Wharf Partnership has submitted its plans for a mixed-use development adjacent to Canary Wharf.

It says the site will be one of Britain's largest mixed use developments, Property Week reports.

The 17-acre site will be a mix of residential and commercial development, created in partnership with British Waterways, Ballymore Properties and Canary Wharf Group.

Plans for 4.9 million square feet of offices and 1,668 homes were submitted to Tower Hamlets council this week.

Jason Larkin, Wood Wharf’s executive director of planning told the publication: "This will be one of the UK's largest mixed use developments.

"Our vision is to create a new world-class business and residential urban quarter set within an exciting waterside setting."

He added that the buildings will be sustainable and include 'eco-islands' and nature walks.

Initial ideas for redevelopment of the site were prepared in 2003 and identified the site as having potential for commercial floor space including a hotel, shops, bars and restaurants, homes, a new canal and public open spaces.
