Buxton Street Housing Proposals
The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has appointed Archio
architects to develop proposals for three family-sized homes
for social rent, just off Buxton Street. A planning application is
currently being prepared to demolish the existing disused former
premises manager’s house and redevelop the site to help meet
the Council’s need for larger affordable family homes across the
borough. The proposals have been carefully designed to respond
to the surrounding context, creating a strong relationship with the
existing properties along Buxton Street while delivering new highquality, sustainable places to live.

We would like to meet with resident’s face to face and have organised a drop-in session on:

The presentation materials shown on the days will also be available for you to access on the Council’s website from Tuesday 7th July 2026, and we will be taking comments on the proposal up until Monday 20th July 2026.
