Student Hall of residence and ballet school - Hatfields

The 13 and 9 storey tower on Hatfields is up at planning again to extend for another 3 years. We have heard that the Central School of Ballet won't now be coming and the app is for D1 use, which could be any type of sport (ie a gym).

Has anyone heard anything about this?

I see that they have withdrawn their application to extend the time limit on the planning permission.

It looks like the developer was advised that any extension to the permission would need to be considered in the light of Southwark's new policy which would require (a contribution towards) affordable housing as part of any student accommodation scheme.

From the activity on site, it seems like they might try to implement the current permission before it expires next February.
