Green light for final elements of Olympic village development

Get Living has been granted planning permission for more than 1,000 homes in east London’s former Olympic Village.  The three new blocks, unanimously approved by the London Legacy Development Corporation, complete the original masterplan for the East Village neighbourhood in Stratford. Originally built to house athletes for the 2012 London Olympics, East Village has now grown to a community of 6,500 people with 25 acres of public realm.  The final elements of the development, which have been designed by Howells and TP Bennett, range in height from eight to 40 storeys.   The N18 and N19 buildings will provide a total of 848 new rental homes, while N16 provides 504 students homes, 35% of which will be “affordable”, along with a new space for independent retailers.
