London Mayor Boris Johnson has decided not to intervene over proposals for a 215-metre high residential tower, the UK\u2019s tallest, proposed for Marsh Wall near Canary Wharf on the Isle of Dogs in East London.<\/u><\/p>\n
The scheme, known as South Quay Plaza will provide 888 flats, 188 of which will be affordable, was approved by Tower Hamlets Council last November.<\/p>\n
Designed by Foster & Partners, the scheme comprises a 68-storey tower and a smaller 36-storey structure. There will also be ground-floor commercial units, car parking and landscaping. Three existing commercial buildings will be demolished. Changes from the original planning application include a reduction in the height of the tallest building from 73 storeys to 68.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Visit the South Quay Plaza website<\/a><\/p>\n Planning Portal Blog<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" London Mayor Boris Johnson has decided not to intervene over proposals for a 215-metre high residential tower, the UK\u2019s tallest, proposed for Marsh Wall near Canary Wharf on the Isle of Dogs in East London.
