Planning application for development at youth centre

WVD-JUL-2025-youth

A planning application has been submitted for the development of a new Education and Youth Hub on the site of the former Wanstead Youth Centre, which closed in October 2023.

The £6.5m project will remodel the Elmcroft Avenue venue to include classrooms, a café, playrooms and offices. However, plans to convert the rear gymnasium into a multi-purpose space have raised concerns among campaigners, who argue it will mean the loss of the last large indoor sports hall in the west of the borough.
