Tower Hamlets scheme part of plan for 4,000 council homes in borough

Child Graddon Lewis has secured planning consent for a 53-home affordable housing scheme on the site of a former council office building in Bethnal Green East. The project, located on Roman Road, is part of Tower Hamlets Council’s wider programme to deliver 4,000 new homes for social rent.

The mixed-use development, known as Albert Jacob House, is designed to include residential accommodation, 350m2 of commercial space and new communal landscaping. Tower Hamlets council, which owns the site, intends for the scheme to provide 100% affordable housing at social rent.
