Telford Living has submitted a planning application to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets for a new purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development in Bethnal Green, East London.
The proposed scheme, which will sit on the site of the current LEB Building, will deliver 520 student beds on Cambridge Heath Road.
Designed by AHMM Architects, the proposals for the scheme include a mix of cluster rooms and studios, amenity spaces and ground floor community and affordable retail spaces.
Alex Taylor, senior vice president – development investment at TCC and head of Telford Living, said: “There is a well-evidenced need for dedicated student accommodation in this area of Tower Hamlets, which is particularly close to major universities and transport connections. Our plans for 520 high quality PBSA units will directly address this demand while delivering a thoughtfully designed building that integrates positively with the surrounding area and brings wider regeneration benefits to the local community.”
