Goresbrook Village

Description

Goresbrook Village is a friendly place known for its green space, attractive tree-lined streets, and exemplar homes with generous gardens; a new suburban quarter that has its own distinctive personality, but also connects seamlessly with the surrounding community. The primarily residential development includes a shop and village square on Goresbrook Road, and a new linear park incorporating 'doorstep play' linking the new homes to the expansive Castle Green to the east of the development, ensuring that the wider community including a local school, will benefit from the scheme.

Planning History

Goresbrook Village is a new residential quarter that replaces three iconic and unpopular tower blocks formerly known as 'Legoland' on a site alongside the A13. The project is part of LB Barking and Dagenham's extensive estate renewal programme that has seen the demolition of old housing stock, replaced with a choice of new homes for their residents. \\\\r\\\\n\\\\r\\\\nCountryside Properties was selected by the Council as the development partner for the regeneration of the estate. The design proposals were based on the Council's brief for the site, and we worked closely with them to develop the scheme. The planning application was unanimously approved on 8 January 2013.
