Dagenham Green

Location and Urban Context

Whole neighbourhood Large-scale regeneration project in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham at the Ford Dagenham plant, which has since been demolished. The context mixes residential with a new public realm, including open space and pedestrian links, bringing the community closer to both adjacent transport infrastructure and amenity sites. More than 10 acres of additional new public open space are included in the development’s landscape strategy to facilitate outdoor recreation and improve the standard of the residential environment.

The area is close to transport links leading into the broader London. Dagenham Dock station and local bus services are on hand to provide further transport links into central and East London. This transportation connectivity facilitates commuting and connects residents to educational, employment, and retail facilities in surrounding areas. The zone provides a contrast between urban activity and green neighborhood planning.

Residential Homes and Shared Ownership

Shared Ownership at Dagenham Green boasts a variety of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom new homes, designed with the very best in modern living in mind to ensure ample light, generous floor space, and high specifications. These properties benefit from private outdoor amenity space, such as balconies or terraces, and are finished to a modern specification that meets both practical and functional needs synonymous with new build housing.

Shared ownership homes in this collection are of particular interest for a part-rent, part-buy model. Shared ownership offers a clear route to increasing equity in the home, over time, living in a secure residence that is secure and within established community surroundings.

Masterplan and Community Infrastructure

Dagenham Green is part of a larger masterplan that will provide more than 3,500 new homes, many of which will be affordable and shared ownership, as well as homes for rent and private sale. The neighbourhood will boast diversity of land uses – residential, retail, community, and educational- to provide for a unified urban district. A secondary school, commercial premises, and recreational facilities are all part of the long-term vision for the area.

Landscape is a key component of the masterplan, with parks, footpaths, and green corridors creating opportunities for outdoor living on a daily basis. They form part of urban biodiversity and sustainable neighbourhood design.
