Tide gets go-ahead for London 412 student flats scheme

12/7/24

Volumetric developer Tide has secured a resolution to grant planning permission for a 412 student rooms scheme in West Ealing, London.

The Hastings Road scheme will transform the underutilised retail site into a mixed-use development with student rooms, communal and commercial spaces.

The project will be delivered using Tide's precision-manufacturing volumetric units, which help to reduce construction programmes by up to 50% while also cutting embodied carbon.

The volumetric units are built in controlled factory settings by Tide's sister company, Vision Volumetric.

The development has been designed around an external courtyard space at the heart of the site to complement students' lifestyles.

Additionally, residents will benefit from the scheme's extensive and thoughtful amenity spaces, designed to ensure a welcoming and nurturing living environment for students. The plans also feature a biodiverse roof and photovoltaic panels, which add to the project's environmental benefits.

Helen McManus, Head of Planning at Tide, said: "We look forward to breaking ground on Hastings Road and contributing to West Ealing's vibrant urban fabric.

"This exciting project marks a significant new addition to Tide's portfolio of student accommodation projects, and seeks to be an exemplar of student development, with high-quality living conditions and generous internal and external amenity space."
