Salter Road, London SE16 6DU – Rotherhithe
Covering 0.87 hectares, this will turn a space currently taken up by a disused gas holder into an active community place. The project would create 151 new homes — 127 apartments and 24 houses — on buildings up to 6 stories tall.
South of the Thames and just to the north-east of Surrey Water, Rotherhithe Reach is positioned within predominantly established residential areas but its design seeks to form an enhancement to the site. This development will offer better access to the stunning Surrey Water and Deal Porters Walk, encouraging more outdoor activity and community participation. Located in such a central place, residents can easily access the rest of London.
A variety of housing forms are intended as part of the development to promote a community feel. The project will add 63 new affordable flats to local housing stock, balanced against 88 private units, thus inspiring diversity and inclusivity.
Rotherhithe Reach will provide its residents with 0.46 hectares of public open space to enjoy for recreation or relaxation. The development will have tree-lined streets, promoting a friendly urban setting that allows for public interaction and exercise.
This contemporary development will be built on the former gasworks site, which has remained empty since 1959. They will provide modern living spaces while ensuring that the sensibility of the new development is contextually appropriate and adds to neighborhood form.
Rotherhithe Reach will contribute some of the highest levels of affordable housing provision locally; delivering an impressive 42% affordable housing provision. 29% of social rent and 13% of shared ownership – are earmarked as affordable, meeting different housing needs to maintain an inclusive community.

Choosing a floor plan might be tricky, but it shouldn't be so. See 3 quick tips below to pick only the right layout for your new home.
Tip 1 — Measure it all
You might already know your desired square footage when choosing a new home. Generally, more bedrooms mean more space, which also drives up the prices.
However, modern developers offer smart floor plans so you can make better use of the space. For instance, a studio with an open floor plan can be much more efficient and affordable than a typical 1-bedroom apartment with a traditional floor plan.
Tip 2 – Go with the flow
Once you have picked one or several layouts, you need to imagine living in the space. Visualise daily activities like laundry or cooking: is it convenient? Do you have enough space?
Online interior design apps that offer 3D visualisation (many of them are free) are time-savers here. Just download the desired floor plan from 1newhomes, upload it to the website you chose, and get a 3D render to visualise living in your new home.
Tip 3 — Do not neglect flexible space
The current lifestyle dictates its own rules. That’s why you need to consider flexible space in your perfect floor plan to have room for a home office or a gym. In addition, be sure to check that your new flat has a lot of natural light. The importance of the latter goes without saying.
A good floor plan means having all you need in a smartly designed space. We are sure our quick tips help you pick only the perfect layout for your new home.
