Thurrock Council has given the green light for Purfleet on Thames, a £1bn regeneration project that will see thousands of new homes created in Purfleet and a new town centre and a media and creative industries hub established.
The plans, submitted by Purfleet Centre Regeneration Ltd (PCRL), a joint venture between Urban Catalyst and Swan Housing Association chaired by Sir Tim Laurence, were unanimously granted outline planning permission by Thurrock Council’s Planning Committee last night (Thursday 25 April) and will deliver the following in the town:
- Up to 2,850 homes to be delivered alongside shops, restaurants, a medical centre and community facilities
- A new town centre with upgraded rail station and improved riverside areas and access will help transform Purfleet into a new destination
- A new primary school
- Brand new media village with art, film and TV studios
- New parks and leisure spaces
The scheme has the broad support of the local community who have been extensively involved in framing the masterplan and the local Community Forum were vocal at last night’s committee in support of the scheme (which was recognised with a national award for Best Public Participation in 2018).
