The plans to repurpose Gensler London's former City Hall aim to transform the empty space into shops, restaurants, and offices, modernizing the building and revitalizing the area.
Planning officers recommended approval for the project, stating it would "modernise" the building on the South Bank and "bring it back into use" after years of vacancy.
Historic England expressed concerns, stating the project would cause "some harm, of a low level, to the significance of Tower Bridge" due to visual obstruction.
The City Hall was designed by Lord Norman Foster and opened in 2002 but became a financial burden, costing the GLA £11.1 million annually by 2020.
