Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Barking and Dagenham and are not the council. About us

The Planning Committee is scheduled to consider a new outline planning application for Barking Riverside and a non-material amendment to a previous planning permission concerning Beam Park Station. The meeting will also include a review of parameter plans related to the Barking Riverside development.

Barking Riverside Area New Outline Planning Application

A significant item on the agenda is a new outline planning application for the Barking Riverside area, located on Renwick Road, Barking. The report pack indicates that this application will be presented to the committee for consideration. The discussion is expected to cover various aspects of the proposed development, as detailed in the NOPA Committee Report 16 March revised nos. document1. This report likely outlines the details of the application, including its potential impact on the local area and how it aligns with council policies. The committee will also have access to several parameter plans, such as the Sitewide Stages Plan 2, Parameter Plan - Application Boundary 3, Parameter Plan - Maximum Building Heights 4, Parameter Plan - Finished Ground Level 5, and Parameter Plan - Road Infrastructure 6, which provide a framework for future development within the Barking Riverside area. These plans are crucial for understanding the scope and limitations of any development that may be approved under this outline application.

Beam Park Station Non-Material Amendment

The committee is also scheduled to review a non-material amendment to a previous planning permission for Beam Park Station. The amendment relates to the wording of Condition 71 of planning permission 22/01048/OUTSRM, which was granted on 17 November 2023. The report NMA Committee Report Beam Park Station Final 7 will provide details of this proposed amendment. A site location plan for Beam Park Station is also available8. A non-material amendment allows for minor changes to an approved planning permission without requiring a full new application, provided the changes do not significantly alter the development's impact.


  1. The NOPA Committee Report 16 March revised nos. document provides detailed information regarding the new outline planning application for Barking Riverside. 

  2. The Sitewide Stages Plan is one of several parameter plans that outline the framework for development in the Barking Riverside area.

  5. The Parameter Plan - Finished Ground Level specifies the intended ground levels for construction. 

  6. The Parameter Plan - Road Infrastructure details the planned road network within the development. 

  7. The NMA Committee Report Beam Park Station Final document outlines the proposed non-material amendment to the planning permission for Beam Park Station.
