  • 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of A
    Committee: Date: Planning and Transportation 28 February 2017 Subject: Public 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of a building arranged on three basement floors, ground and 58 upper floors plus mezzanines and plant comprising floorspace for use within Classes A and B1 of the Use Classes Order and a publicly accessible viewing gallery and facilities (sui generis); hard and soft landscaping works; the provision of ancillary servicing and other works incidental to the development. (201,449sq.m. GEA) Ward: Lime Street For Decision Registered No: 16/01150/FULEIA Registered on: 24 November 2016 Conservation Area: St Helen's Place Listed Building: No Summary The planning application relates to the site of the 62 storey tower (294.94m AOD) granted planning permission in June 2016 and which is presently being constructed. The current scheme is for a tower comprising 59 storeys at ground and above (272.32m AOD) with an amended design to the top. The tapering of the upper storeys previously approved has been omitted and replaced by a flat topped lower tower. In other respects the design of the elevations remains as before. The applicants advise that the lowering of the tower in the new proposal is in response to construction management constraints in relation to aviation safeguarding issues. The planning application also incorporates amendments to the base of the building, the public realm and to cycle space provision which were proposed in a S73 amendment application and which your Committee resolved to grant on 28 November 2016, subject to a legal agreement but not yet issued. The building would provide offices, retail at ground level, a viewing gallery with free public access at levels 55 and 56 and a public restaurant and bar at levels 57 and 58.

  • Stepney Consultation: Salmon Lane Area
    Stepney Consultation: Salmon Lane Area Tower Hamlets is committed to making the borough a safer place which people can take pride in. We are looking to deliver a range of improvements to our streets for everyone’s benefit, whether you walk, cycle, use public transport or drive. The first area to be reviewed is Stepney as we have received funding through Transport for London and development contributions to improve the area. “This is an exciting opportunity to improve the streets of Stepney. There are lots of small changes we could make which would really improve the streets in this area and discourage dangerous driving. We want to know your ideas – where do you think a small change would make a big improvement? We’ve put forward some of our ideas but we know it is local residents who know their streets best. So share your ideas and together we can Transform Stepney and make it an even better place to live. We’re rolling out improvements in the Stepney area first of all, but other areas throughout the borough will follow soon.” - the Mayor The Transforming Stepney’s Streets improvement area is framed by the A13, Sidney Street, A11, and Mile End Park and has approximately 9,500 residential homes. We are planning to make a range of improvements to the area, to help create better connected walking and cycling routes (including to the many schools in the area), making our roads safer and reducing the volume of traffic using these roads as a ‘rat run’. We also want to improve the look and feel of the area, making it an even more enjoyable, and safer, place to live, work and visit.

  • Issue 58 Castle Baynard Resident Cunn
    June 2018 Issue 58 Castle Baynard Resident Cunn GAS WORKS IN THE CITY In this issue: Residents will have Gas Works in the City noticed the continuing disruption and congestion Shoe Lane Library caused by street gas Home Delivery works in the City, the Service latest and most significant Blackfriars Station occurring in Gracechurch Underpass Street. This has necessitated the long- term closure of London Blackfriars Bridge Bridge to north bound traffic with vehicles being diverted to Tower and Blackfriars bridges causing increased congestion elsewhere in 36 INCH GAS MAIN INSTALLATION CIRCA 1880 the City. We hope the following information will give some useful background as to why these problems are occurring and the difficulty in remediating the situation quickly. In Greater London the gas distribution and supply network services approximately 2 million customers. Currently there are approximately 120,000 gas escapes, 12,000 excavations and 380 kilometres of mains replaced per annum. In April 2001 a 30-year programme was launched which aims to replace all iron pipes within 30 metres of buildings (some 45,000 kilometres in London). Many of these gas mains were laid over 100 years ago (see picture above) and were made of cast iron, ductile iron and steel. These old pipes are at the end of their life and are failing through corrosion or fracturing due to earth movement. These are being replaced by polyethylene pipes that can sustain higher pressures than the metal pipes and do not corrode. The new pipes are inserted inside the old pipes wherever possible to speed the work up and minimise disruption.

  • Stepney in Peace and War the Paintings of Rose L. Henriques
    NEWSLETTER OF TOWER HAMLETS LOCAL HISTORY LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES LH&A NEWS November-December 2013 Stepney in Peace and War The paintings of Rose L. Henriques The Foothills, 'Tilbury', bombed second time. Watercolour on paper, Rose L. Henriques. c1941. Our new exhibition is a rare opportunity to see highlights from our collections of paintings by the Jewish philanthropist Rose L. Henriques (1889-1972) which launches here on Thursday 28 November at 6.30pm. This event is open to the public and is co-hosted with the Jewish East End Celebration Society. With her husband Sir Basil, Lady Rose Henriques founded the St George's Jewish Settlement in Betts St, Stepney in 1919. Here, the Henriques developed social welfare facilities and services for the deprived local community ranging from youth clubs to washrooms and open to Jews and non-Jews alike. The Settlement was able to expand into its own new premises in Berner Street in 1929 thanks to funding from philanthropist Bernhard Baron, after whom the building was renamed. Rose was an avid artist, serving on the board of the Whitechapel Gallery, and the watercolours in our collection are a unique record of Stepney around the time of the Second World War. Focussing on the regular activities and everyday landscapes of the besieged borough, her subjects include the clear-up and triage activities of the Civilian Defence Service, the controversial air raid shelter known as "Tilbury", and scenes of bombed out synagogues and churches. She also painted everyday life at the Settlement building where she and Basil lived. This exhibition has been curated by staff with the expert voluntary help of art researcher Sara Ayad.
