A key design intervention is the transformation of an enclosed pedestrian route, previously associated with antisocial behaviour, into an attractive, overlooked garden mews – a direct route to that . Widened footpaths, new residential frontages, accessible routes and biodiverse planting create a safer, more welcoming connection towards Prince Regent DLR station.

The landscape strategy also places nature recovery and climate resilience at the forefront of the design. Native and pollinator-friendly planting, orchard trees, species-rich grassland, rain gardens and biodiverse green roofs combine to strengthen local green infrastructure, manage surface water and support urban wildlife. The integration of photovoltaic panels with green roofs further demonstrates a holistic approach to environmental sustainability.

References to the site's maritime heritage are woven into the landscape, creating a distinctive sense of place rooted in the history of the Royal Docks.

The proposals demonstrate how thoughtful landscape design can transform a constrained urban site into an inclusive, resilient neighbourhood where people and nature can thrive together.
