Introduction

This website has been created to inform local residents and groups about the plans to transform Dalston with an exciting regeneration scheme.

The scheme includes:

Improved transport - the East London Line extension will open in 2010, providing new Tube connections, new rail links and a new station at Dalston Junction
Over 500 new homes including affordable housing
A major new public square
A new public library and archive
New shops and restaurants
New investment in Dalston bringing retail opportunities, more jobs and prosperity
Energy efficient measures such as green roofs and combined heat and power

It will be designed by a team of architects working on the two sites that include: John McAslan and Partners, Arup Associates, Weston Williamson and Goddard Manton.

Landscape architect Michel Desvigne has prepared a plan for the new square and working with J&L Gibbons, will use public feedback to prepare the detailed plans for the square.
