Thames Gateway Interim Plan Development Prospectus - EUKN

Chequers Corner. The sites have a combined residential capacity of some 6,500
homes for rent and for sale together with new schools, community facilities and
a Centre for Sporting Excellence.
A2.16 Transport infrastructure aspirations for the area include a new station on the
London-Tilbury-Southend (c2c) railway line at Beam Park. It is planned that the
existing station at Dagenham Dock will become a new transport interchange
linking East London Transit services and new bus services.
A2.17 The adjacent Dagenham Dock employment area comprises 133 hectares of
largely under-utilised brownfield land. For many years Dagenham Dock has
suffered from poor access, fragmented ownership, poor-quality infrastructure,
contaminated land, limited public transport and the open storage of scrap metal,
containers and aggregates. A substantial public sector investment programme is
underway, including new linkages into the strategic road network. This is
stimulating significant private sector investment; some 1,400 jobs have resulted
since 2002. Dagenham Dock is being promoted as a sustainable industrial park
suitable for environmental technology businesses.
