Plans have been submitted for entrance upgrades at a major shopping centre in east London.

Westfield Stratford City has put forward proposals to improve the pedestrian route which connects the centre to Westfield Avenue - known as Cherry Park Lane.

The plans include both hard and soft landscaping along the route, such as trees, planters and a sculptural metal ribbon, which is proposed to weave through the site and help visitors find their way.

Cherry Park Lane passes the Coppermaker Square residential area, and as such the proposals include a pathway into the centre for residents.

According to the planning documents, the existing route is "sterile and lacks interest", whereas the proposed refurbishments will create an "exciting new entrance" with a "clear transition" between Westfield Stratford and the residential development.

DP9 Ltd, who drew up the plans on behalf of the shopping centre, said: "The proposed development seeks the creation of new, high-quality landscaping and associated works at Cherry Park, including the enhancement of entrances to the pedestrian route connecting Westfield Stratford City Shopping Centre and Westfield Avenue.

"The proposals will transform an underutilised hard-landscaped route into a high-quality landscaped public space, providing enhanced urban greening, improved pedestrian connectivity and a more attractive and welcoming environment for residents and visitors."

If approved, the scheme is expected to cost up to £2 million.

A decision date has not yet been listed on the Newham Council website, but the application expires on April 29.
