Viability Study Bakers Arms

Tender description

Waltham Forest is in the process of preparing a new Local Plan for the borough, including a Site Allocations DPD that will identify sites for development and complement the policies in the Local Plan. In the emerging Local Plan, Bakers Arms, where Leyton Bus Depot, Leyton Leisure Lagoon and Stanley Road sites are located, is identified as a ‘Strategic Location’ - one of the primary growth locations in the borough for new homes, jobs and supporting infrastructure. The three sites were identified as a potential site allocation through the Growth Capacity Study (2018). The Council is commissioning a high-level viability study for three sites in Bakers Arms (Leyton Bus Depot, Leyton Leisure Lagoon and Stanley Road), Waltham Forest (please see below). The assessment should evaluate the feasibility studies carried out on the Leyton Green Sites and advise on commerciality/ deliverability of masterplan design options and development quantums (residential and non-residential uses) that could be delivered on the sites in order to inform our emerging Local Plan and Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) and potential future supplementary planning guidance.
