LPA Closing Submission – 5 January 2018 (2).pdf – Google Drive
The public enquiry was officially closed on Friday 12th January following a site visit the day previous to Cinnamon Street, Clegg Street and Clave Street.
It lasted for 7 days at Mulberry Place from December 12-21. Each side had a barrister and experts on transport, heritage, daylight and sunlight and a planning consultant each. The estimated cost is around £100,000, which is the average cost of a full scale public planning enquiry. A decision will be published on February 19.
A planning enquiry into the decision to refuse consent for a development in Whitechapel – to demolish the old nurses home and other similar buildings and replace with 12 new buildings including a 90 metre tower – had been heard at Mulberry Place a week earlier than the Cinnamon Street appeal; there are at least 3 more appeals to be heard over the next few months.

LPA Closing Submission – 5 January 2018 (2)
Did you know that there are more than 50 listed buildings and structures in Wapping? and we have 2 Grade I listings here.
They are St Peter’s Church on Wapping Lane, and the skin floor of the warehouses at Pennington Street. The Thames Tunnel is Grade II* and the elaborate lamp post next to King Henry’s Stairs is Grade II. We have included Historic England’s listings here for ease of reference. However if there are any omissions or amendments needed, please get in touch.
Over the next few weeks, we will put up pictures of all the listings. There are a few inclusions that should not be there as they must have been put in erroneously by Historic England – which is probably something that can be sorted out easily enough.
