Councillors to decide on east Greenwich student accommodation

November 1, 2012 By Greenwich.co.uk

COUNCILLORS will decide next week whether to give the go-ahead to almost fifty new student flats in East Greenwich.

The developer behind the scheme has proposed a 47-bed block of student accommodation in Denham Street on a plot of land previously used as offices and a depot by Lewis Coaches.

Eleven letters of objection were received by the council, citing concerns over increased noise, parking and loss of light and TV reception but officers have recommended councillors back the scheme at the Greenwich Area Planning Committee next Wednesday evening.

New townhouses

Councillors will also consider whether to approve the demolition of three Victorian houses at the meeting.  The empty homes at 24-28 Greenwich High Road would be replaced by four new townhouses, if planning permission is agreed.

Ten letters of objection have been received and the redevelopment is also opposed by the Greenwich Society and Greenwich Conservation Group. In its objection, the Greenwich Society  cited "the need to preserve as much as possible of 19th century fabric."

The houses back on to the car park of Greenwich's newest hotel, the Mercure, and councillors will also be considering whether to approve a new internally illuminated rooftop sign for the  boutique hotel. Periquin Limited is the name of the developer that is behind both the hotel and the application to redevelop the houses in Greenwich High Road.

On a busy night for councillors, they will also decide on the latest bid to develop the land at the corner of Roan Street and Straightsmouth with the developer wishing to build a three storey block containing two flats.

New student housing proposed in East Greenwich

December 23, 2011 By Rob Powell

A DEVELOPER has applied for planning permission to build new student accommodation in East Greenwich.

The 49-bed,  five-storey block is proposed in Denham Street, just off Woolwich Road. The site was previously used as  a depot and offices for Lewis Coaches.

The developer hopes to benefit from requirement for student homes from both the University of Greenwich and Ravensbourne College.

A letter from the University of Greenwich submitted with the application confirms they have "unsatisfied demand for student accommodation" in the vicinity of their campus at the Old Royal Naval College.

The applicant behind the scheme is Mr David Purewall of Greenwich. It is proposed that the site be used as a car wash until the planning decision for the student accommodation is reached.
