Shortened tower block plans approved for Greenwich
Briefly

"We believe the scheme now responds to the concerns raised and the building heights are now proportionate to the surrounding context. Not only is the site providing much needed housing, including 35% affordable, we are also making a significant contribution to the local economy during the construction phase."
"Greenwich is an attractive place to live with the World Heritage Site and once this 33-storey building goes up, that's it. Greenwich is going to lose out."
"The revisions had largely addressed the issues it had previously raised, allowing the construction of 33 storeys while preserving views of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site."
"While the project complies with affordable housing requirements, there are concerns that the height and density of the development will still adversely affect the neighborhood and local residents' quality of life."
