Barking Riverside Limited (BRL) is pleased to announce the appointment of renowned architects Bell Phillips to work on the Sub Framework Plan (SFP) for Stage 3 North of our masterplan. This exciting new phase will introduce over 1,000 homes to the area (35% of which will be affordable), alongside a mix of non-residential uses and open spaces. This will be an important step in shaping the bright future of Barking Riverside, creating a vibrant and sustainable community.
We spoke with Joe Burke, Project Architect at BRL, to learn more.
What is an SFP?
“An SFP is a mini-masterplan for a specific neighbourhood within the wider development. It provides much more detail than the outline masterplan and helps us create a distinct identity for each district. Creating an SFP means that when housebuilders come to deliver homes here, they have a clear framework to work to, making the planning process more straightforward for them and helping us maintain the identity of Barking Riverside.”
What are you most excited about for this phase of the project?
“I think the most exciting, and possibly challenging part of this phase is the fact there’s now a clear built context to respond to, and an ever-growing community of over 2,000 homes right next door.”
Why has Bell Phillips been selected?
“Their bid demonstrated an extremely high level of design capability, presenting and testing us with all the possibilities based on our brief. We’re excited to be working with this team for the first time, and we were very impressed with their collaborative approach throughout the bid process.”
Stage 3 North will be a key moment in the evolution of Barking Riverside, and we look forward to seeing how Bell Phillips’ vision comes to life.
