Don’t let Bethnal Green Gardens lose its light
A 52m student block is planned beside Bethnal Green Gardens. It would take away light and change the area forever.
Why It Matters
They want to build an 11-storey student block right beside Bethnal Green Gardens. A building of that height and bulk would overshadow the area, affect nearby homes, and change the feel of this part of Bethnal Green forever.

How to Make a Difference
You do not need to be a planning expert to object. A short, clear objection is enough. Focus on what this proposal would actually do: less light for homes, less evening sun in Bethnal Green Gardens, and a building that is too tall and too bulky for the site.
