About time - it's been a patch of wasteland for years.

[quote][b][size=167]Former pub site in central Stratford to be turned into flats[/size][/b]

IT’S TAKEN four years but developers finally have the green light to turn the former Green Dragon site on the corner of Arden and Greenhill Streets into a mixed residential and commercial-use block.

Despite strong and long-running objections that the four-storey development is ‘overbearing’, ‘dwarfs’ other buildings and is ‘not appropriate for an historic town’, the scheme at 1 Arden Street was granted planning permission by Stratford District Council, subject to conditions.

The first, second and third floors will be transformed into 16 apartments - 14 one-bedroom and two two-bedroom.

Six apartments are on the first floor, six on the second and four on the third.

The application 21/02447/FUL, approved in the spring, dates back to July 2021 and was originally for 18 flats.[/quote]
