UNITE, Stapleton House
Student Accommodation
For years, Local Dialogue has supported UNITE across the country delivering thousands of purpose built student flats. As UNITE’s focus has shifted to London, we used our expertise of the boroughs to support it. This includes Islington, where we supported UNITE in gaining a consent for Stapleton House, one of its largest developments.
Stapleton House was progressed in partnership with London Metropolitan University – a key political and economic stakeholder. Following a successful public consultation on the plans, our focus shifted to an intensive lobbing campaign to build support with ward councillors and community groups resulting in consent being granted.
