In 2024, we received permission to restore five historic buildings on Sclater Street – the former Mission Hall, a Victorian-era building and three former Weavers’ Cottages.

These buildings are part of the historic fabric of the neighbourhood and the proposals seek to protect and restore the buildings, as part of the wider redevelopment of The Goodsyard.

The Goodsyard will be developed in stages, the whole build will take approximately 10 years to complete.

The Goodsyard is a complex site with several constraints and long-term delivery considerations. It is shaped by its proximity to key transport infrastructure, including the Central Line, six mainline tracks into Liverpool Street Station and most notably the East London Line and Shoreditch High Street Station, which pass directly through the site.

Working within these constraints takes time and we are working closely with both local authorities and other stakeholders such as Network Rail and TfL to minimise disruption to transport links.

We are developing a series of Reserved Matters Applications to provide more detailed designs for each of the individual plots within the masterplan.

The Goodsyard will form part of a vibrant new mixed-use community, featuring around 100 new spaces for retail, restaurants, and leisure. At the appropriate stage, we will begin marketing these spaces and engaging with local businesses to explore opportunities. Our aim is to create a dynamic mix of independent operators and well-known national brands that reflects and complements the character of the area.
