… Save Brick Lane campaigned against new offices, shops and restaurants on the site of the Old Truman Brewery.
The council’s planning committee had voted 2-1 in favour of the Truman Brewery Development in September 2021.
Truman Brewery said the development was ”sensitively designed” and a judge found in favour of the defendant.
Posting on Twitter, the campaign group said: “The #SaveBrickLane Coalition is disappointed to announce that its High Court challenge of the Truman Brewery’s planning application was unsuccessful”.
The scheme includes a five-storey office building and commercial units along Brick Lane, plus an extension of 25 Woodseer Street for a shop and office space.
The plans attracted more than 7,000 objections from residents….
The Save Brick Lane group said it planned to appeal against the ruling…
But the Truman Brewery said the proposals did not involve the removal of any existing buildings….
