Hartley Centre consultation

Populo Living, Newham Council’s house building company, is seeking to redevelop the former Hartley Centre site on Barking Road.

With our proposals still at an early stage, we want to give the local community an opportunity to view the plans, meet members of the project team, and provide feedback.

This website explains the background to our current proposals, the draft plans we are developing, the key issues we are considering, and a timeline to explain what is likely to happen next. Please take time to review the materials and get in touch via the Have Your Say page to ask questions and provide feedback.

About Populo Living

Populo Living is a housing developer wholly owned by Newham Council. Established in 2014, we are focused on delivering quality homes in Newham.

Under the administration led by the Mayor of Newham, Rokhsana Fiaz, Populo Living has shifted its focus from delivering homes at market rents to ensuring 50 per cent of the homes it builds across the Borough are affordable.

The Mayor has set ambitious targets for housing delivery across Newham, including a pledge to build 1,000 affordable homes in the Borough by 2022. The majority of homes promised by the Mayor will be built by Populo Living on various sites.

Work has started on 227 new genuinely affordable homes across 11 sites across Newham, doubling the Mayor’s target of 100 in her first year.
