The Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside is designated as an Opportunity Area (OA) in the London Plan and is one of the largest regeneration areas in London. Prepared jointly by the GLA, TfL, London Borough of Newham and the GLA Royal Docks Team, the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside OAPF (‘the RD+BR OAPF’) provides a planning framework to guide emerging and ongoing development in the area, and sets the context for the proposed extension of the DLR to Thamesmead via Beckton Riverside. The RD+BR OAPF identifies the potential, with transport and connectivity improvements in place, for the OA to provide 38,600 new homes and create 55,800 new jobs. The RD+BR OAPF is guided by the Mayor’s Good Growth objectives and has been informed by engagement with stakeholders and local communities. The documents were signed-off in Mayoral Decision 3081. The Appendix prefix to each document comes from the Mayoral Decision. The main document is Appendix A.
