100% Affordable homes, new public realm and a distinct approach to sustainable placemaking in Barking.
Padnall Lake in Barking & Dagenham delivers 77 affordable homes as part of a wider 300-home masterplan. Located at the edge of Marks Gate and adjacent to the A12, the development sensitively reimagines underused open space into a sustainable new neighbourhood centred around a revitalised linear park and enhanced lake. HTA worked across five disciplines to integrate new homes with generous public realm, biodiversity improvements and community infrastructure. The scheme prioritises affordability, buildability and long-term sustainability, while reinforcing local identity through design.
