L&Q Deliver Planning Application For Walthamstow Stadium Site
London & Quadrant (L&Q), together with award winning architects Conran & Partners, has delivered its planning application for the former Walthamstow Stadium site to Waltham Forest Council.
The application will now go through a validation process before becoming a formal application submission.
The application delivery follows months of community consultation including public events in March which has seen L&Q amend its plans in response to feedback from local communities.
Mike Johnson, Development Director at L&Q said: "We are very pleased to have delivered our application and look forward to continuing our community consultation as the application process takes place. To date our community consultation has included surveys, one to one meetings with local people, residents’ focus groups as well as meetings with students, local businesses, organisations and resident associations. As a result of this ongoing consultation we have revised our plans to incorporate some of the feedback we have received and we are committed to continuing this work.
"We have conducted a lengthy consultation process. The results from the most recent completed comments cards following the public exhibition and consultation in March 2011 show that 58% of respondents liked our proposals."
