CATCHMENT AND DEMOGRAPHICS
SITUATIONThe subject property occupies a highly prominent position at the major junction of the A13 (Newham Way) and the A1020 (Royal Docks Road), forming part of one of the largest critical masses of retail warehousing in the UK.
The immediate area has over 730,000 sq ft of open A1 food and non-food retail warehousing including Gateway Retail Park, Beckton Retail Park, a dominant Sainsbury’s foodstore and Gallions Reach Shopping Park.
Other uses in the immediate area include Alpine Way Industrial Park and London Industrial park, which includes multinational businesses such as Britvic, Reiss and Booker wholesale.
The imminent arrival of Crossrail has been a catalyst for significant residential development in the wider catchment.
Beckton draws upon an extensive catchment population of 384,437 within a 10 minute drive-time of the subject property and 1,072,326 within a 15 minute drive-time. The Newham population stands at 324,000 and is forecast to reach 381,000 by 2024, showing a 15% population increase.
The Local Plan (2018) reports major new housing and infrastructure provision within Beckton for at least 5,278 new homes. The recent decommissioning of the gasworks site has provided a regeneration opportunity to redevelop the site to include a re-modelling of Gallions Reach as part of a new town centre, which will provide a catalyst for growth in the local area.
