East Village Planning Applications

On 27th February 2023 the LLDC Planning Policy and Decisions Team (PPDT) received a suite of planning applications for the remaining undeveloped plots in East Village and the East Village Public realm, comprising:

  • Plot N18/19, Celebration Avenue – a new Reserved Matters Application, pursuant to the Stratford City Outline Planning Permission (SC OPP) for predominantly residential uses. Two separate applications are submitted alongside this RMA: a Section 96A (“S96A”) of the Town and Country Planning Act (“TCPA”) 1990 (as amended) application is being submitted in support to allow the proposals for Plots N18/N19 to deviate from the SC OPP; and an approval of details (“AOD”) application that seeks an update to the approved Stratford City Site Wide Housing Strategy (“SWHS”) pursuant to Condition C1 of the SC OPP;
  • Public Realm - a new standalone and detailed application for enhancements to key areas of public realm, namely Victory Park and the area formerly known as the Belvedere.
  • Plot N16, 50 Celebration Avenue - a new standalone and detailed planning application for purpose-built student accommodation (“PBSA”). A separate application is submitted in support of that standalone application pursuant to S96A of the TCPA (as amended) for non-material amendments to “slot out” Plot N16 from the SC OPP. This is necessary because no PBSA floorspace forms part of the overarching SC OPP.
