Belvedere Wetlands

The Belvedere Wetlands masterplan, with selected delivered outcomes designed by East, is an ambitious series of projects developed with and by Bexley Council over two years. The area comprises vast industrial uses, criss-crossed with a complex network of dykes that manage the hydrology of the local area.

From a robust consultation process, key issues and points of severance within the area were identified. Issues include the industrial vehicles that drive through the residential areas, lack of well connected, safe pedestrian routes, poor signage and generally poor awareness of the ecological features here such as the river and the marshes.

The overall project scope improves access to the river and marshes for local people, while managing conflict caused by the industrial uses, helping enable these uses to positively co-exist.

Location: Bexley

Client: London Borough of Bexley

Project status: Completed 2012
