The London Legacy Development Corporation and Chobham Manor LLP – a joint venture between homebuilder Taylor Wimpey and L&Q – submitted a reserved matters planning application for phase one of the Chobham Manor development in November.
This has now been approved, allowing construction of the first 259 homes to begin.
Chobham Manor will have a mix of one- to five-bedroom apartments and houses which are expected to go on sale in late spring, with residents moving in by late 2015.
London Legacy Development Corporation chief executive Dennis Hone said: “We are thrilled that the planning permission to start building the first phase of homes at Chobham Manor has been given the go-ahead.
“The prospect of the first residents of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park moving in as early as 2015 is an exciting one and together with the opening of the south of the Park on April 5 and the vision of a new cultural and educational quarter in development, we are firmly on track to deliver a new heart for east London.”
