Queen Mary University Mile End Campus - Supplementary Planning Document
This initial stage of the consultation has concluded.
Tower Hamlets adopted the Queen Mary University Mile End Campus SPD on 28 July 2021.
The masterplan for the Queen Mary University London campus in Mile End outlines the development opportunities for the campus and seeks to ensure proposals are in line with the interests of the local community and stakeholders.
The SPD also takes into consideration the important spatial context surrounding the campus, including the Mile End Hospital, the Regent's Canal and Mile End Park.
The Queen Mary University Mile End Campus SPD was prepared under Regulations 11 to 16 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. Early-stage feedback was incorporated into the draft that was presented for public consultation, which took place between November and December 2020. A summary of the comments received during the public consultations and the Council’s response to them are set out in the Consultation Statement also available on the Council’s website.
Queen Mary University SPD Background
Haworth Tompkins and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets worked together to develop a new masterplan for the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) campus in Mile End. This SPD aims to guide the growth ambitions of the university and to ensure that this growth is aligned to the interests of the local community. The SPD also takes into consideration the area surrounding the campus, including the campus’ relationship to the Mile End Hospital, Regents Canal and Mile End Park.
The masterplan has been adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), which provides material weight in planning decisions and provides a management process for the future development of the campus.

Enhance your responsibilities as caretakers of some of our heritage assets.
In particular, ensure the 1820 barge operators house attached to Globe Bridge is retained and restored so it stands as a tangible symbol of the canal's history for another 200 years. Open up the canalside to enable the light, so essential for the canal's eco-system and bio-diversity, to get through on the particularly dark and deep cut around Mile End Lock.

Reopen the pedestrian ralway underpass connecting QMUL with Meath Gardens, Mile End Park, Roman Road and Bethnal Green
Friends of Meath Gardens and the council have been in discussions with QMUL about re-opening the pedestrian railway underpass to connect QMUL with Meath Gardens. LBTH have already obtained funding to enable this to happen. This will give QMUL easy access to Meath Gardens, Mile End Park (across the Meath Gardens Footbridge) as well as to Roman Road and the rest of Bethnal Green. We hope this has been included in the Masterplan?

QMU hurriedly cleared much of the C17 Jewish cemetery in the 1970s. It's not clear how thorough that work was and some remains may survive.

Campus Accessibility
As QMUL occupies a very large area in the context of the local neighbourhoods it would be useful if rights of way were maintained for local people. These have increasingly been closed off during the last 20 years and local people been made to feel increasingly unwelcome on the estate. Agree that a part of this should include links across the canal.

Connecting the campus to Mile End Park over the canal, rather than only via Mile End Rd, would be great for students and the community.
