It also fronts onto the River Roding, a tributary of the River Thames. The site is situated just a short walk from Barking\u2019s mainline and London underground station.<\/p>\n<p>Plans for this site are at a developmental stage, but the housebuilder envisages the creation of a \u00a3300m (gross development value) waterfront development expected to deliver in excess of 1,000 homes through a mixture of tenures. The proposals will also include the transformation of the riverside and the provision of a range of community-based activities including a new riverside gastro-pub\/restaurant and retail space. The redeveloped site will be complete with a waterfront promenade, pedestrian pathways and landscaped grounds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.weston-homes.com\/\">Weston Homes<\/a> intend to submit a full planning application in the summer of 2018, and the application will be one of the largest submitted to Be First, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lbbd.gov.uk\/residents\/\">London Borough of Barking &amp; Dagenham\u2019s<\/a> urban regeneration company.
