Tower Hamlets withdraws Limehouse Triangle application

1st December 2017

Tower Hamlets Council has announced that its own housing organisation has withdrawn a planning application to build an eight-storey block of flats at the Limehouse Triangle open space next to Regent’s Canal. It is the latest in a series of projects in the area to be scrapped, following on from the withdrawal of plans to build a 28-storey luxury residential tower at Whitechapel Square, close to Christopher Wren’s 1695 Grade-I Trinity Green Almshouses at Mile End Gate, Swan Housing’s project near the George Tavern on Commercial Road, and 2,000 homes at Asda’s Isle of Dogs site, which would have overshadowed Millwall Park and Mudchute city farm.
