Queens Market is a well-established and much loved place
to shop in Green Street, E13. People from across London are
attracted by its vibrant rich mix of exotic fresh produce and
goods, alongside more traditional fare.
Local residents and traders have been consulted on the planned
improvements, which now include a market with the more pitches than
the existing one, and a new and bigger library combined with a
Local Service Centre. The latest proposals are a direct result of
that consultation.

You can also view the May 2008 proposed plans for Queens Market.
The developer proposes demolition and replacement of the existing
market with additional uses to create a mixed use development
including:
- 164 market stalls
- 6,374 sq m of retail area including shop units and
mezzanines
- A new state of the art Council 'front office'
including local service centre, library and community services
- New public toilets
- Waste collection area and composters
- 340 residential units including affordable
housing
- 10 new affordable family residential units on
Rochester Avenue
- A new multi-functional space for market stalls,
cultural exhibitions and performances along Green Street
You can access over 160 documents from 'Accommodation
Schedule' to Waste Management Strategy' and take in all of the
proposed plans too.
The plans are generally accessible 9am - 5pm in the Council's
Planning & Building Control reception, 1st floor, Town Hall
Annexe, 330 - 354 Barking Road, East Ham, E6 2RT.
The expiry date for standard consultation was 30/5/08. However,
though there is a statutory 21 day consultation period, that will
apply differently for different interested parties (neighbours and
so on). Any particular party's consultation period will run 21 days
from the date they received formal notification.
What this means is that the Council has a minimum period in which
it can't make a decision. If we receive comments after the 21 days
that doesn't mean we ignore them. All comments are considered right
up to the time Members make their decision at Committee. The
significance of the 21 days is that that is the only period that a
Council decision can't be made.
May 2008
Developers St Modwen formally submitted plans to Newham
Council. The Council will consider the planning application, as the
local planning authority, at committee. Decisions reached will be
in accordance with the relevant Council, London and Government
policies. No decisions have been made on the application, and it
will be properly considered in accordance with Council procedure.
The application is presently being processed. Proposal documents
and Q&As currently available below relate to a previous stage
of the process and will be updated at the appropriate stage in
proceedings.
