During a Tower Hamlets strategic development committee meeting on November 13, concerns were raised over the building's size and potential issues with anti-social behavior (ASB).
Planning officers assured that staff would be on site around the clock to manage any incidents of ASB and that students could face eviction for severe cases.
The planning lawyer cautioned that rejecting the plans due to ASB concerns could lead to a successful appeal by the developer, resulting in significant costs for the council.
Ultimately, despite reassurances about acoustic security and student management, the proposal was rejected after councillors remained apprehensive about its location and the possibility of noise pollution.
