Network Rail submitted new plans to redevelop the station, dropping a controversial 21-storey building proposal after receiving over 2,000 objections. The revised plans are aimed at minimizing impacts on heritage assets. However, Tower Hamlets Council's planning officers noted that the provided visual impact assessment lacks sufficient detail to adequately assess how the new building would affect the setting of conservation areas and listed buildings. Unfortunately, the assessment only includes wireframes, hindering a thorough evaluation of the potential impacts on heritage assets in the borough.
Network Rail's revised proposal for station redevelopment aims to minimize harm to heritage assets and preserve the established townscape, responding to previous objections.
Council planning officers expressed concerns that the visual impact assessment provided by Network Rail lacks necessary detail, preventing a proper evaluation of the building's impact.
Images submitted by Network Rail only show a dotted outline of the proposed building, which makes it difficult for council officials to assess the development's effects on local heritage.
The tower's design has potential negative implications for the views of two conservation areas and several listed buildings, necessitating a more comprehensive visual assessment.
