Scheme was originally planned at 30 storeys

PLP’s plans for a 22-storey hotel-led development in Stratford have been approved by the London Legacy Development Corporation.

The practice won LLDC backing for a previous version of its Stratford Collective proposals in 2017 – when the scheme ranged in height from four to 19 storeys and was focused on providing co-living units and incubator space for new firms.

LLDC planning officers then recommended approval for a new incarnation of the scheme which features a 287-bed hotel and 768sq m of co-working and incubator space.

LLDC planning officers said PLP’s latest design – which is 11m taller than the scheme approved in 2017 – followed the “same principles” as the earlier scheme for the site, which is next to the Builder’s Arms pub.
