Plans have been launched for a major transformation of the historic Waltham Forest Town Hall Campus in London.

The £150 million plans will see staff from 10 older, less efficient council offices across the borough move into new office space on the Town Hall Campus site. The land unlocked by this move, and land gained by demolishing the Magistrates will then be used for much needed housing, with 50% affordable.

Developers are now being sought for the plans via the London Development Panel (LDP2).

Cllr Clare Coghill, Leader of Waltham Forest Council, said: "This is a once in a lifetime project and will truly change the way we work for the benefit of our community, customers, colleagues and the council. The redeveloped Town Hall campus will be a one-stop shop for our residents, and a single site from which the majority of council staff can work.

"The Town Hall and neighbouring Assembly Hall are iconic and architectural treasures. We want a Delivery Partner that recognises the value and importance of this site to the community, and understands our vision to protect and preserve them, while welcoming ways to modernise the site and open it up for residents, staff and visitors. This is a fantastic opportunity to realise the full potential of this wonderful borough."
