Decision on £3bn London Canada Water scheme in July

British Land says it is hoping to hear this summer if Southwark Council will give the green light on the first buildings in its sweeping Canada Water redevelopment scheme. The company is looking to turn 53 acres of rundown land on the abandoned Daily Mail printworks and the disused Rotherhithe police station, close to Canada Water Underground station, into a new town centre and 3,000 new homes. The application is for three buildings totalling 576,000 sq ft and outline planning for the 1.8m sq ft first phase with a development value of £700m; the  first three buildings will provide 265 homes, with around 35% affordable.
