Lea Bridge Station Sites - Developer Partner

Description

The London Borough of Waltham Forest (“the Council”) commenced a procurement through Contract Notice 2019/S 070-165593 to appoint a development partner in relation to three sites adjacent to Lea Bridge Station in order to facilitate the delivery of a high-quality, residential-led mixed-use development; new station entrance and an improved public realm. The development partner was originally expected to deliver in the range of 300-320 homes and a minimum of 3000 sq. m. of commercial cultural spaces and 750 sq. m. of public space. The original opportunity also required the development partner to construct a new entrance to the railway station as part of the scheme. Please see the Contract Notice for further details. The Council entered the development agreement with London Square Developments Limited on 17 March 2021 and now intends to vary the scheme for the reasons detailed in this voluntary transparency notice.
