New images released showing regeneration of Purfleet-on-Thames

The new images show plans for the new train station, which will be overhauled as part of the regeneration.

New images have been released showing how the £1billion regeneration of Purfleet-on-Thames will adapt the town centre and riverfront.

The changes will include upgraded transport links, new homes and a 1m sq. ft. creative complex.

Illustrations have been created by award-winning architects AHMM, who are working on the overall masterplan, with drMM, that was originally put together by KSS and aLL Design.

The new images show plans for the new train station, which will be overhauled as part of the regeneration.

Entrances to the new 1,000,000 sq. ft. media village, which will include TV studios where live shows can be filmed in front of a public audience, are shown.

The renditions also show some of the thousands of homes that are intended to be built.

Once completed, the £1billion regeneration will see a new town centre with shops and restaurants.

The plans also show up to 2,850 new homes will be provided as well, alongside an integrated medical centre, improved transport infrastructure and a new primary school.

Last month, the government announced it was pledging £75million to support the redevelopment as part of the Housing Infrastructure Fund.

The funding will be used to provide vital infrastructure and plans could include replacing the level crossing with a bridge over the railway and a new health centre, river wall, drainage and other important utility infrastructure.

Purfleet Centre Regeneration Limited is a joint venture between mixed-use developer, Urban Catalyst and Swan Housing Association.

They are running the regeneration in collaboration with Thurrock Council.

Chairman of PCRL, Sir Tim Laurence, said: “These latest images show the scale of our ambition for Purfleet-on-Thames, from transforming the riverfront to upgrading the train station and delivering thousands of homes.

“This is on top of a new school and integrated medical centre for local residents as well as a media village that will see the town emerge as a leading creative hub capable of supporting Britain’s booming film and TV industry.”
