Strategic Development Committee - Wednesday, 28th August, 2024 6.30 p.m.

The Strategic Development Committee of Tower Hamlets Council met on Wednesday 28 August 2024 and made two decisions. A decision on application PA/22/00731 at 4-5 Harbour Exchange Square was deferred so that the applicant could be asked to consider whether the number of family-sized homes that the scheme would provide could be increased. An application, PA/23/02375, for the redevelopment of the former Westferry Printworks at 235 West Ferry Road was approved subject to conditions and the completion of a Section 106 legal agreement. A decision on application PA/21/02707 at the Whitechapel Road Development Site was deferred to allow committee members to undertake a site visit.
