Waterloo Gardens, Tower Hamlets
Mixed Use Redevelopment of Canal Club Community Centre
The Site is located at the intersection of Sewardstone Road and Waterloo Gardens. The Site is bounded to the north by the Regents Canal/Victoria Park and residential uses to all other boundaries. The Site is currently used as a community facility and includes a nursery known as Scallywags, a community garden, children’s playground and an outdoor ball court.
The development looks to redevelop the site, centred around the creation of a new and improved community building over two floors, comprising Scallywags nursery at ground floor and additional community floorspace at first floor. The redevelopment of the site also includes the re-provision of the ball court, the community garden, together with additional play spaces, a community orchard, a new civic square, and a new secured public canalside walkway.
Through more effective use of the 0.27ha Site, the development provides 14 self-contained flats, all in affordable tenure. The 14 units will be accommodated in 2, four-storey buildings, situated along the north/north western boundaries of the site.
The development is proposed to be delivered as car free, secured by legal agreement, with 1 x disabled parking bay as the only exception.
