The council's published Local Plan shows the sites where they want 27,000 new homes built by 2035. Nearly 14,930 of them will be built in South Waltham Forest. They have published a draft Supplementay Planning Document (SPD) showing how Leyton Mills will look. That is Leyton Mills, Spitalfields, Eton Manor and Temple Mills. The adjacent Bywaters site has not been included but what will happen to the land if it is closed?

Gateway Road, Leyton, will be

include eight buildings, were approved at a meeting of Waltham Forest
Council’s planning committee on Tuesday, November 8
John Glover, the managing
director of Bywaters, said the development will benefit small businesses who
can rent out office space.
He said: “We are extremely
pleased that Waltham Forest planning committee recognises the benefits the
scheme will bring to the area, including 730 new homes and 4,500 sq m of new
commercial space.
“These promise to activate the
local area, and create more footfall for local businesses.
“Once the development is built
out it will deliver much-needed homes in the local area and help to create a
thriving business community with space designed for SMEs and entrepreneurs.
“The entire development will
constitute a scheme the whole of Leyton and Waltham Forest will be proud of”.
The application is now subject
to formal approval from the mayor of London, and the completion of a section
106 agreement with Waltham Forest Council.
