In October last year, permission was given by councillors in London to turn the iconic Trocadero building into a two-storey casino and restaurant. Situated on Coventry Street, it is perfectly situated between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. This meeting place and bustling hub has long been at the heart of London's entertainment scene.
We will quickly file a new initiative to fix a single typographical error and nothing more in the initiative. We are confident we have the time and resources to collect the required signatures to qualify for the ballot.
Our team would like to thank the residents and stakeholders who engaged with us throughout the planning process, sharing both feedback and support. We're pleased with the outcome, which recognises the cultural and social value of the Brockwell Live series, alongside the significant economic contribution it makes to Lambeth and Greater London, particularly at a time when night-time and creative economies across the country face increasing pressure.
It was off-limits to the public for a century until recently, when a nonprofit land trust called the Wildlands Conservancy liberated the coastline following 10 years of planning. Accessing the preserve is allowed after reaching the farthest end of Bodega Harbour, a scenic coastal community of 700 homes linked within an 18-hole golf course. But once word about the hike began to spread last month, locals began saying their neighborhood was upended overnight by hundreds of cars.
Marvel actor Dominic Cooper is one of many high-profile public figures who has voiced concerns about developer Acorn's plan to build 20 terraced homes and 25 flats on the Blackheath station car park site.

"We've changed our approach with these locations themselves. When we did Ellendale, you'd get a little bit, not a lot of reaction, like 'Oh that's cool.' or 'These guys are crazy.' Now these guys need to prepare a little more. Not from a local perspective, but it kind of gets shined on nationally these days. When you're dealing in towns of hundreds of people, sometimes that's a bit overwhelming."
Ellis Partners and Spirit Living Group submitted plans in December for the seven-story, 203-unit building on Claremont Avenue, next to the pink property that used to house The Graduate bar. The apartments would be market-rate, including some memory-care and assisted-living units. "There is very, very, very little senior housing in the East Bay, writ large, especially compared to what the demand is," said Patrick Flynn, senior vice president with San Francisco-based Ellis Partners.
Extell is planning a tower the size of the Empire State Building somewhere between West 66th and West 67th, and Tony Danza is upset. The actor, who has lived in Lincoln Square for more than two decades, says he can see what will soon be a construction pit from his two-bedroom apartment and has been calling every city official he can to try and stop the tower from going up.
