Policy
South Quay Plaza occupies a prominent position on marsh wall and a central location in the isle of dogs.
the isle of dogs has undergone a significant transformation over the past 30 years with the development of canary wharf and the subsequent residential development in the immediate area around it. canary wharf has emerged as a recognisable location that successfully brings together residential, employment and leisure uses.
the future redevelopment of South Quay Plaza will contribute to the positive transformation of this part of the isle of dogs, integrating with existing and planned communities and bringing a wider benefit to the local area.
the site is covered by the isle of dogs opportunity area; the canary wharf activity area; and sits within the millwall area of the core Strategy.
Planning policy identifies the need for at least 10,000 new homes across the isle of dogs and 6,150 within millwall over the next 22 years. South Quay Plaza is allocated for residential development as part of the ‘millennium Quarter masterplan’, which can be seen above.
Other policy initiatives for this area include:
• the delivery of improved public realm;
• bringing life to the riverside;
• active frontages at the ground floor of buildings; and
• improved connectivity between millharbour, marsh wall and the areas to the north.
the redevelopment of this site for a residential use will therefore realise the aspirations for this part of the isle of dogs and bring forward a key part of the millennium Quarter masterplan.

detailed proposals for the site will be developed over the course of the next few months and we would like you to be involved. Feedback forms are available so please take the time to fill one in.
we will be holding two further consultation events prior to the planning application being submitted. we will also continue to meet local stakeholders and members of the community over the coming months who have an interest in our plans for this exciting site.
it is anticipated that a planning application will be submitted towards the end of this year.
the exhibition boards will be available on the project website www.berkeley-southquay.co.uk shortly after the exhibition closes. it is also possible to submit further comments through the website if you wish.
For further information please contact [email protected] or call rebekah on 020 3176 4161
the demolition of SQP2, SQPR and SQP3+ will improve connectivity through to the waterfront and significantly increase the amount of quality public realm, providing better access to the northern part of the isle of dogs.
the redevelopment of South Quay Plaza therefore represents a unique opportunity to create an open and pleasant environment and a vibrant waterfront that the whole community can enjoy.
there is a large map of the isle of dogs in the centre of the room. Please feel free to come forward, tell us about your local area and discuss how you think the redevelopment of South Quay Plaza could benefit the wider community.
we are currently considering options for a residential led mixed-use development on this key site within the millennium Quarter.
Given the existing site conditions, it is known that the proposals will involve the following:
• the demolition of the small retail plaza (SQPR);
• the demolition of the office building to the north-west (SQP2) and the smaller building on the north-east corner of the site (SQP3+), which have both reached the end of their economic life. the existing occupants of SQP2 (the Financial Services ombudsman) are relocating to newly refurbished premises elsewhere within the borough, which will ensure that the employment is retained in tower hamlets.
• the office building to the east of the site (SQP3) will be retained as this will shortly be going through a process of refurbishment and remain an employment asset for the medium to long term.
