The latest planning application for the Westferry Printworks site proposes building over 1,300 homes and a secondary school, amidst a complex planning history that includes multiple rejections and political controversies.
Tower Hamlets Council is considering a new recommendation to approve a planning application for the former Westferry Printworks site, where previous attempts have been complicated by political bias allegations and community objections.
This development proposal marks the third attempt for the 15-acre site within eight years, reflecting persistent challenges and regulatory scrutiny following past decisions that raised concerns about suitability and impact on local character.
The controversy surrounding earlier planning decisions, including allegations of bias due to political donations made by Northern & Shell, highlight ongoing tensions between development ambitions and community interests.
