"The inquiry will determine applications to redevelop three sites on and around Brick Lane, after property owner Truman Estates and Zeloof LLP appealed to the government's Planning Inspectorate to decide whether they should go ahead. The Save Brick Lane Campaign, which opposes the plans, say they fail to reflect local wants and needs and don't provide enough housing. The largest of the three proposals would demolish several buildings at the Truman's Brewery site between Brick Lane and Spital Street."
"In their place, it would build five new buildings with offices, 44 homes, a restaurant, a cinema, a supermarket and a market. Another would involve constructing an office building of up to six storeys with a ground-floor market at Ely's Yard, to the west of Brick Lane. To the west of that site, in Grey Eagle Street, Truman Estates also wants to demolish a derelict building and replace it with a data centre."
An inquiry will decide applications to redevelop three sites on and around Brick Lane after Truman Estates and Zeloof LLP appealed to the Planning Inspectorate. The largest proposal would demolish several buildings at the Truman's Brewery site and a cash-and-carry to build five new buildings containing offices, 44 homes, a restaurant, a cinema, a supermarket and a market. Other proposals include an office building of up to six storeys with a ground-floor market at Ely's Yard and a data centre replacing a derelict building on Grey Eagle Street. Opponents argue the plans erode Brick Lane's heritage, harm the Bangladeshi community and local businesses, and fail to provide sufficient housing or community benefits.
