Proposals have been published for a big new development in West Greenwich.
The plans would see the construction of a hotel with 100 rooms, 500 rooms of student accommodation and 200 apartments at the corner of Norman Road and Greenwich High Road.
Initial details of the proposal have emerged in an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) which was required to be submitted before full planning permission can be applied for.
The proposed development - given the monicker 'The Movement' by its London-based developers, the Cathedral Group - would be built on the site of Greenwich Industrial Estate which fronts onto Norman Road.
The development, which would reach up to eleven storeys high and be visible from Greenwich Park and the Old Royal Naval College, also includes plans for a student bar and health club, 5000 sq ft of commercial floor space and space for a new community centre.
Whilst the developers are looking to complete the project by 2013, their first priority would be to get the hotel built and opened in time for London 2012.
Cathedral Group were previously responsible for redeveloping Devonport House into a hotel and student accommodation and are also currently seeking planning permission for a large redevelopment project in Deptford.
The plans are still at an early stage and the developers will now be waiting for Greenwich Council's formal response to their Environmental Impact Assessment before submitting a full planning application.
