Proposals worked up with Aecom and 5th Studio will ramp up housing numbers by 21% at Abba Arena site

Outline plans to intensify housing delivery on part of the Olympic Park site are set to be approved by the London Legacy Development Corporation.

A new masterplan for the Pudding Mill Lane area at the south of the park – drawn up for LLDC by Gort Scott, 5th Studio and Aecom – proposes delivering 116,553sq m of new residential floorspace on the 5.1ha plot in three courtyard blocks and a 25-storey central tower.

Papers provided to members of the LLDC’s planning applications committee acknowledge that the masterplan does not contain a fixed number of new units. But they suggest the figure would be 948, based on the amount of floorspace and requirements for a mix of housing sizes.
