Masterplanning & Urban Design

Meridian Water

The Masterplan

Meridian One will be a 7-hectare neighbourhood nestled within a parkland. 75% of the site will consist of parks, open space, play space, tree nurseries, and tree-lined streets that link to surrounding open spaces. The public realm and open space is a celebration of the parkland character of the Lower Lea Valley.

The strengthened North-South route features biodiverse rain gardens and forest-scale trees, extending parkland through the centre of the site. At the heart of the site is Station Square, adjacent to Meridian Water station and the centre of the community. There are two large parks within the development; Northern Park is designed as an informal, more naturalistic parkland with wetlands and clusters of native trees. The Southern Park represents a more formal, gateway parkland with amphitheatre linear seating areas. Micro Parks along the edges of the site, create green gateways into Meridian One, enhancing and extending the green corridor along the railway.
