Planning Lists: October 2026

Plot N16 at 50 to 54 Celebration Avenue has asked to change its approved plans, the Westfield car park ramps are getting security netting, and 179 homes are proposed on Bridge Terrace. These are the October entries on Newham's planning lists that touch East Village and the streets around it.

More beds and height at 50 to 54 Celebration Avenue

26/02158/NONMAT, 26/02177/AOD and 26/02178/AOD

On 12 October an application was registered to change the plans for Plot N16, which was consented in April 2024. It asks for 62 additional beds, two more storeys on Block A and one more on Block B. The cycle store would shrink from 421 spaces to 387, and the exhibition space would become ordinary commercial floorspace, taking the commercial total to 545.9 square metres.

It is filed as a non-material amendment, a route for changes the council judges too small to need a fresh round of public consultation. The Westfield student tower took the same route for the 94 extra bedrooms added in May (read the story). On 13 October two more filings for the plot were registered: one under the condition headed "Notice of Commencement", and one covering surface water drainage and detailed design.

IQL North, Penny Brookes Street and International Way

26/02232/NONMAT

Registered on 21 October, this amends the permission dated 28 November 2024 for the land at Penny Brookes Street and International Way. That land is IQL North, the new neighbourhood opposite Stratford International Station, consented in 2024 for 672 homes, 909 student beds, shops and workspace, and new public space (IQL North). The change revises the schedule of accommodation, the mix of homes and beds, and the total amount of development already approved for the site.

Westfield

26/01879/NONMAT and 26/02202/AOD

Security mesh netting on the vehicle ramps of Westfield's Car Park A was approved on 12 October. Separately, details for Unit 2 at Chestnut Plaza on Montfichet Road were registered on 16 October: energy, deliveries and servicing, an event management plan and an ancillary restaurant.
