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 same number of
pitches as the existing one, a new and bigger library combined with
a Local Service Centre for Green Street. The latest proposals are a
direct result of that consultation.

You can also visit the new website produced in partnership by St
Modwen and Queens Market traders http://www.newqueensmarket.co.uk/
The page details the proposed demolition and replacement of the
existing market with additional uses to create a mixed use
development including:
- A new state of the art Council 'front office' including local
service centre, library and community services
- 164 market stalls
- 6,374 sq m of retail area including shop units and
mezzanines
- 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 is 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.
Proposed plans for Queens Market
May 2008 - Developers St Modwen have now 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 here relate to a previous stage of the process and will
be updated at the appropriate stage in proceedings.
