Lombard Square, Plumstead - West Thamesmead, Royal Borough of Greenwich

Entrant's Summary: Situated on the site of Arsenal Football Club’s former stadium, Lombard Square revitalises 17 acres of derelict and inaccessible brownfield land into a place for a new community to grow and thrive delivering 1,913 new homes, 40% of which are affordable, over 47,000 sqft of industrial, community, commercial and employment space and a new public park. Connecting the existing communities of Plumstead and West Thamesmead through the delivery of new green pedestrianised paths and cycleways as well as enhancing existing public spaces through several collaborative projects, this ambitious development acts as a driver for change within the wider Thamesmead area.
