Mayor backs attractive tall buildings

31st March 2017

Sadiq Khan has warned that new tall buildings must enhance the capital’s skyline rather than blight it. The Mayor of London also stressed that key criteria for residential tower blocks should be that they help to tackle the city’s housing crisis, not provide investment opportunities. Daniel Astaire, Westminster Council's cabinet member for planning and public realm, has said he is “open to taller and higher buildings as a matter of policy” but insisted on “appropriate buildings in appropriate places”.
