West Ham Park Old Nursery Site

What's next for West Ham Park Old Nursery Site?

The City of London Corporation (as trustee of the West Ham Park Charity) is extremely proud of the fact that West Ham Park is widely considered to be one of the best maintained and most loved parks in Newham. It’s a vital asset for local communities to enjoy, and it’s a haven for biodiversity. It’s seen by many as a green oasis within an urban setting.

The Charity is extremely grateful to all those individuals who engaged with the public consultation regarding the potential redevelopment of the former nursery site in the north-east corner of the park. Feedback from the public described a variety of ideas that people would like to see developed, and this information is hugely valuable when developing the Charity’s business plan for the site.

Following the completion of the consultation, the Charity has been in dialogue with The London Borough of Newham about how best to proceed in the best interests of the park, its users, local residents and in the future management of the site.

The London Borough of Newham has an emerging Local Plan which all future developments must adhere to. Any develop of the former nursery site will therefore need to align with the priorities that are laid out in this key planning document. Discussions with the Council are ongoing regarding the future of the site.
