East London round-up

The shortlist for the development partner at Stratford (after L&CR took back control of the non-retail areas) is down to two: Bougyues (with Barratt) and Lend Lease (with East Thmaes Group and First Base). The winner will be announced in the next two months.

Herzog and de Meuron have received planning permission for their first housing scheme in the UKK. After Greengate House in Plaistow fell through rather disastrously last year, Poplar HARCA contacted H&dM and now they've got planning for four buildings totalling 36 residential units and a medical centre.

The shortlist for Ken's model zero-carbon development at Gallion's Reach has been announced:
L&Q Group; Guinness Trust with Gallions Housing; Crest/Bioregional/Quintain (my hot tip?); Metropolitan/J Leon (who?); Bellway/Genesis Housing Group; and Lend Lease/First Base (another hot tip, I would have thought).
