Blount Street, Tower Hamlets: Planning Permission Secured at Appeal for Student Accommodation

Maddox Planning secured planning permission at appeal for a purpose-built student accommodation development at Blount Street in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

The Council had refused planning permission on the basis that the site should be delivered for conventional residential housing. The proposals therefore required a clear planning strategy demonstrating that student accommodation represented an appropriate and policy-compliant form of development in this highly accessible inner London location.

Maddox Planning advised on planning strategy and prepared the appeal case, demonstrating that the scheme would make efficient use of a previously developed urban site while contributing to the delivery of specialist student housing close to universities and public transport.

The Planning Inspector allowed the appeal and granted planning permission for the student accommodation scheme, confirming that the proposed development was acceptable in planning terms.

The project demonstrates Maddox Planning’s expertise in planning appeals and specialist housing development, successfully securing planning permission where proposals have been refused by the local planning authority.
