New plans submitted for Isle of Dogs resi tower

7th October 2016

Developer Cubitt Property Holdings and architect Make have submitted new plans to Tower Hamlets Council for a residential tower at 225 Marsh Wall, on the Isle of Dogs. Plans for a 56-storey structure containing 414 apartments were withdrawn by the developer in June; despite having the backing of then-Mayor Boris Johnson, planning officers had recommended that they be rejected, on the grounds that the site sought to “maximise, not optimise the development potential of the site”, by not containing enough family housing. The new 49-storey structure is 23m shorter than previous plans, with 336 apartments; 272 have been earmarked for private sale, with 147 one-beds, 112 two-beds and 11 three-beds. The new plans also give more of the site over to public open space.
