Planning permission for Site B1 was given on 22nd January 2008 and construction begins on 7th April along with the Plaza and library. These , and site B2, are all due to be completed by June 2009. All details on these sites can be found here.

The total redevelopment of Canada Water in London SE16 is about to start. The community aspiration is for a "low, clean and green" waterside development, preserving and enhancing the attractions of Canada Water itself but also becoming a community focus rather than a barren set of car parks. The community - through the Canada Water Campaign - has been fighting hard to preserve the dock and to prevent overdevelopment whilst achieving the facilities that are badly needed.

A British Land/Canada Quays consortium was chosen as the preferred developer-led team to masterplan development at Canada Water following extensive public consultation. This followed Southwark Council's adoption of the Master Developer Brief and the Planning & Design Principles & Technical Appendices which the Canada Water Consultative Forum worked so hard on. Their first applications gave been submitted for sites A &B (see above).

Join the debate, keep close to the action, come to the meetings.
