The site is currently occupied by a number of existing buildings, comprised of aging industrial spaces, in addition to retail units, office space and a former pub.
The site has been allocated for development within the draft Waltham Forest Local Plan. A Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared for South Grove/St James to shape the delivery of major new housing, employment space and improved community services within the town centre.
Your Tribe will redevelop 80, 85 & 86 Brunner Road, providing purpose-built student accommodation supporting the growing student population of Waltham Forest. We will provide 437 student bed spaces, in a range of units’ considerations, supporting students’ wellbeing and needs. In addition to offering 35% of bed spaces as affordable. The development will include a number of amenity spaces, including entrance breakout spaces, a communal amenity area, varied spaces, games room, creative working and socialising spaces, and a laundry room.
The accommodation is arranged in a single building over 4, 10 and 17 levels. At lower levels commercial and communal PBSA uses located at ground and 1st floor are expressed through a two storey plinth which uses large openings to activate the public realm and glazed brickwork to reference to the historic pub which stood on the site. The upper storeys use textured brickwork, corbelled detailing and GRC finish accents allowing the building to respond successfully to the distinct neighboring character areas of the St James Street conservation area and emerging New South Grove and St James masterplan.
