In an interview with The Wharf, Tower Hamlets Mayor John Biggs discusses the planning legacy of his predecessor, Lutfor Rahman, describing it as “a very stressful issue, especially on the Isle of Dogs”, where he is keen to address concerns about housing density. He comments: “We’re reviewing our Local Plan but when you’re close to a very good transport hub like Canary Wharf you probably can get some denser developments there, it makes sense. But you have to make sure the services are there too and you need to resist the temptation for developers to stick a few more floors on their buildings”.
