Last year, the Mayor of London Boris Johnson removed the right of Hackney and Tower Hamlets to decide on the Bishopsgate Goodsyard development. In a mockery of the democratic process, he alone is due to rule on this £800 million scheme, possibly in March. If he approves the current proposal, a faceless mega-complex of luxury towers would change the area forever and cast giant shadows over our area.
Hackney and Tower Hamlets councils officially REFUSED the planning application on 10 December when their planning committees considered the plans. The decision has been sent to Boris Johnson who scheduled to make his decision in the next few months.
Hackney Council has launched its own campaign asking people to object to the plans. See their arguments and short film
