A major student housing project on Stratford High Street has been given the green light by Newham Council's Strategic Development Committee.

The development at 302-312 High Street, Stratford, will see the demolition of existing buildings to make way for a part 10, part 12, part 31 storey building. The mixed-use project will provide 692 student accommodation rooms and a 178sqm public house, along with hard and soft landscaping and public realm improvements. These improvements are mentioned in the meeting agenda for the Stratford High Street Redevelopment, which details the plans for public realm improvements and associated works.
