A new town is being proposed in southeast London, with plans for 15,000 homes and a new train line to London. The Thamesmead Waterfront site, a 100-hectare brownfield area, has been shortlisted by the Government's New Towns Taskforce as a potential location for a new town. The site, primarily owned by Peabody, is being developed in a joint venture with Lendlease and The Crown Estate. The area has long been recognised as having untapped potential, with early plans for development in the 1960s being hampered by connectivity issues and environmental limitations. Recent efforts have led to the adoption of the Thamesmead and Abbey Wood Opportunity Area Planning Framework in 2020. A new Docklands Light Railway extension is considered essential for unlocking the full potential of Thamesmead, with public support reportedly high at 85%. The planned link is a key enabler for future development, as the SE28 postcode currently has no train or tube station. Transport for London has announced funding to support the project, which is expected to have a transformative economic impact of £15. 6 billion. This development has been reported by Express. co.
