I live near there; I think the impact on residents may be overstated but I'm not close enough to be directly impacted, so I will defer to those who might be. The main negative impact will be on the transport infrastructure in that area. It's already blatantly unable to cope with the number of people in that area and a development like this can't possibly be contemplated without a wholesale upgrade of Stratford station. There's a bit of a sop to improvements but an order of magnitude less than required.
