Albert Basin
A mixed-use site on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) line and near the proposed Thames Gateway Bridge.
A number of industrial developments accommodating businesses relocated in this area as a result of the London 2012 Games have now been completed and are occupied.
The sites have been fully remediated, and there is continuing investment in new road and public realm infrastructure. There are new homes already built on the waterfront at Royal Quay and more planned across the Albert Basin sites.
The London Development Agency (LDA) has prepared a masterplan for the Albert Basin which envisages nearly 2000 new homes, of which a large proportion will be affordable. The selection of developers to deliver the next phases of development will begin shortly.
The Albert Basin will be home to the LDA's first zero carbon development at Gallions Park. The proposal is based on:
- Using the building specifications to cut carbon emissions by 40 percent over and above 2006 regulations
- Using Combined Heat and Power (CHP) to provide a net zero-carbon energy supply
