London Legacy Development Corporation and Ballymore have received detailed planning consent for a 700-home scheme neighbouring East Bank, in Stratford.
Stratford Waterfront, designed by Howells alongside O’Donnell+Tuomey and LDA Design, comprises four residential-led buildings of up to 27 storeys.
The plans also include circa 20,000 sq ft of commercial space at ground level, as well as more than 43,000 sq ft of public open space.
Of the homes, 35% will be affordable, rising to 50% when combined with Bridgewater Triangle, a second site to be delivered by the partnership.
Simon Ryan, development director at Ballymore, said: “East Bank is transforming Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with the most ambitious cultural project in a generation. With the London College of Fashion, UAL and UCL East already open, Sadler’s Wells East will follow later this year with V&A East and BBC Music Studios soon after.
“So, this site demanded new homes of design excellence – in keeping with the bar that has already been set by our cultural and academic partners and neighbours and the site’s most incredible setting by the water and on the park.
“It’s fantastic to have the green light so detailed design work can commence with a view to beginning construction in early 2026.”
Rosanna Lawes, executive director of development at LLDC, said: “As East Bank, one of the country’s largest cultural and education districts, nears completion it is exciting to move onto the next phase of development. The joint venture partnership with Ballymore means that we can rapidly build on the park’s successful legacy to create another thriving and sustainable community of well-designed and sustainable homes.”
Completion is anticipated late 2029.
