Plans for new Thames cycling and walking bridges

Not sure what all this is doing in a Thames bridges thread, but interesting. The map above is a bit odd, as it doesn't show the two existing bridges to the Leamouth Peninsula, today the site of truly horrific development, and between the Limmo Peninsula and Poplar. The web page does correctly state that there are no crossing points between there and Twelvetrees, but could have been clearer. These two bridges are both poor; one seems like a cheaply-done developers' discharge of a planning condition, despite such a connection to Canning Town Station being vital, and the other one must be a replacement for the old industrial bridge there that hasn't been removed.

I can't see any detail on the bridge proposals, as it seems to require you to sign in on the Tower Hamlets web-site (here's their version of the consultation page: https://talk.towerhamlets.gov.uk/lower-lea-bridges), but obviously such connections are a good thing. However, all three are linked to major development sites, and, one would guess, may be financed from planning gain money. In practice, what this usually means is that they are poorly-integrated into the local network and sticking-plaster rather than properly planned. NB I have no idea if that's true here. I assume some more detail will be in the planning applications, if anyone has the time and inclination to look them up.

The 'Mayer-Parry' bridge is shown where there is currently no access to the riverside, where they are probably still 'stitching together' the river path, and adjacent to the major development site at the former Crown Wharf, currently sterilised. I assume that there is a plan to provide good river access there. This site will probably end up looking much like Leamouth Peninsula.

The 'Poplar Reach' bridge is clearly important as it will be next to Cody Dock, but here, too, there is a development site, this time on the Tower Hamlets side and already being filled with the awful 'Poplar Riverside' development, all the same boring identikit rubbish that major developers always build.

The 'Lochnagar' bridge seems to be intended to connect to Lochnagar Street, and the development here is 'Calico Wharf'. I assume all the post-industrial rubbish that used to be here until at least 2018 according to StreetView will have been cleared away and Lochnagar Street may become a public thoroughfare down to the river. The most interesting thing in this area is the former Bromley Hall School, Grade II-listed:

One would assume that the site was chosen to ensure disabled children were well out of view. :( Happy to be corrected on that, but you often find that such facilities are located in out-of-the-way sites. I wonder if they'll find a new use for that site. Listing provides protection, but it can also mean decades of vacancy and dereliction.

Much of the quality of these proposals will be in the design of the bridges. They've certainly set an ambitious delivery schedule.

It doesn't strike me that there has been a lot of cross-river masterplanning here, but I haven't looked up the strategy documents. To me, it looks like too little, too late, with by far the greatest emphasis given to extremely poor quality private development, as usual.
