LATEST UPDATE
Planning permission granted, amendment under consideration
Planning permission for the redevelopment of Stratford Gasworks was granted in November 2024. St William has since submitted a minor amendment to the approved scheme to the London Borough of Newham, and a decision is expected in Autumn 2026.
Site investigation works from October
A short phase of investigation works will take place on site from as early as Monday 19 October 2026. Remediation works to prepare the site for redevelopment are expected to begin in 2027.
Our Vision
Our vision for Stratford Gasworks is to transform an underutilised former gasworks into a sustainable, community-focused and welcoming neighbourhood that combines new homes, green spaces and connections. In doing so, St William want to help deliver the physical legacy of the Olympic Games and contribute to the transformation of the area.
St William
St William was formed as a joint venture between the Berkeley Group and National Grid to regenerate underutilised gasworks. Our goal is to reconnect these sites with the local community and transform them into places where people want to live, work and spend time.
St William are unlocking some of the most technically complex regeneration sites at the heart of communities across the South of England, creating homes for everyone.

Landscape-Led Development
The places built by St William will be renowned for the quality of their landscape and public open space. To achieve this, we adopt a landscape-led approach, on every site, which can be summarised as “first life, then spaces, then buildings.”
