A Greener Future at Growing East London Development
With green living becoming increasingly important to homeowners, L&Q at Beam Park is providing the opportunity for first-time buyers to secure an eco-friendly property and offers a new collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes through Shared Ownership.
Designed to meet the GLA’s London Sustainable Design & Construction policy and achieve a 35% reduction is CO2 emissions compared to previous building regulations.
Homes at L&Q at Beam Park have been designed to support residents to lower their eco-footprints and reduce their energy bills. The properties are fitted with a highly efficient water system that prevents water loss, whilst greater levels of insulation are achieved through double glazing and doors that meet high insulation standards. All apartment blocks are fitted with solar PV panels, whilst brown roofs will be positioned across the development, creating an environment for local ecology to thrive.
Part of a joint venture between L&Q and Countryside, Beam Park is transforming a 71-acre site with 3,000 new homes and substantial public infrastructure, across the border of the London Boroughs of Barking & Dagenham and Havering.
A major component of the masterplan is its 17 acres of open space, with proposals for a central park, play area and recreational spaces, large grass areas, formal gardens and water features. Residents will also enjoy new walking and cycling paths, weaving through the richly landscaped street scenes.
Claire Brenlund, sales and marketing director for L&Q, commented: “Green living is something which has moved from an add-on to an essential for the first-time buyer market, as we all take strides towards a greener future. Anticipating this shift in priorities, we have taken pro-active measures to ensure all our homes at L&Q at Beam Park support eco-living, minimising the environmental impact of the development and its residents.”

Main bedrooms are complete with built-in wardrobes, whilst bathrooms have modern white sanitaryware. Every home includes private outdoor space, whether a garden, balcony or terrace.

Ideal for families moving to the area, the development will soon offer two new, purpose-built primary schools with excellent facilities, adding to the numerous nurseries, primary and secondary schools in the region already rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.
