Developer Native Land has been given planning for the next phase of its £1bn Bankside Yards redevelopment in London’s Blackfriars.

Known as Eastern Yards, the scheme was approved by Southwark council on Monday night and will see the construction of nearly 350 homes. 

It was masterplanned by architect PLP, which also designed four buildings, including homes, an office and hotel, with a further residential building designed by Make Architects.

The job includes an 18-storey office block, called Arbor, as well as two residential buildings comprising 257 homes – a 49-storey tower and a smaller 13-storey block.

The first phase of the scheme, called Western Yards, is currently being built just to the west of this scheme.

The scheme, which is being funded by a mixture of Malaysian and Singaporean investors, will also include revamping 14 railway arches in the area to make way for 50,000sq ft of retail, leisure and cultural space.
