Tower Hamlets prepares for plethora of planning inquiries

A barrage of planning appeal inquiries on major developments previously refused permission awaits Tower Hamlets London Borough Council this autumn, with the decisions to turn down projects such as Make Architects’ much-tweaked 225 Marsh Wall skyscraper on the Isle of Dogs to come under scrutiny. A reworked version of that scheme, which dropped the height from 56 storeys to 49, was refused last year on the grounds that it represented overdevelopment of the site. The 3DReid scheme at Millharbour will also be examined, created for Meadow Residential, the 30- and 26-storey towers promise 319 homes and 1,700 sq m of non-residential floorspace for retail and nursery use.
