The White Chapel Building Has Been Innovatively Refurbished Into a 21St Century Hub for Creative Businesses, Exuding Integrity and Attention to Detail Contents The Building 7 The Atrium 10 The Terrace & Braham Park 17 The Space 19 Key Features 22 Stacking Plan 26 Floor Plans 27 The Location 33 Transport 34 Elizabeth Line 37 Regeneration 38 Derwent London 43 Contact 44 2 The Building The White Chapel Building has been innovatively refurbished into a 21st century hub for creative businesses, exuding integrity and attention to detail. At street level, the new impressive steel clad entrance portal and bold, eye-catching lettering over the door provides a welcoming arrival. Thanks to the Elizabeth Line and a huge upsurge of local investment, planning, infrastructure and talent, Whitechapel is ideally positioned to become a destination for the next wave of east London innovation. 7 The Atrium The doors open into an impressive 7,000 sq ft ground-floor atrium. The heart of The White Chapel Building acts as a focal point and destination for tenants, visitors and the wider community. Different zones within this vast, multifunctional space fulfill different purposes. Housing a stylish and modern reception area, multiple breakout and meeting spaces, workstations, hangouts and a buzzing café/bar run by Grind, creating a sense of warmth and community for the entire building. The White Chapel Building is not only a vibrant workspace, it is a place to relax, enjoy and invite friends. 10 11 12 13 14 15 The Terrace & Braham Park The atrium leads out to a landscaped terrace with café seating and direct links to Braham Park. The new environment is warm and welcoming and as one of the capital’s newest green spaces, this is likely to become Whitechapel’s best kept secret. Cyclists are exceptionally well catered for, with 3,500 sq ft of cycling facilities, including changing rooms, showers and secure storage for 187 bikes. 16 17 The Space The office floors with their 3.2m high ceilings are blank canvases for occupiers to customise and adapt. We recognise that modern companies need workspaces that both reflect their ethos and attract likeminded businesses. A building’s design can profoundly affect how its community interacts, thinks and performs. The best buildings acquire a life of their own – something we believe The White Chapel Building will accomplish.

PA/13/03049 Strategic planning application stage 1 referral Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 The proposal Demolition of existing vehicle workshop and erection of extension to the prayer hall at the East London Mosque, residential development comprising 241 open market and affordable housing units including studio, one, two, three and four bedroom apartments in buildings up to 18 storeys, basement parking, public realm improvements, pedestrian link from Fieldgate Street to Whitechapel Road. The applicant The applicant is Alyjiso and Fieldgate Ltd. and the architect is Webb Gray. Strategic issues The development of this mixed-use scheme accommodates both the extension of the East London Mosque and residential uses on a constrained site within the City Fringe Opportunity Area. The proposal is broadly in accordance with strategic planning policy, and is supported. However, further discussion is required regarding housing quality, children’s play space provision, inclusive design, sustainability and transport. Recommendation That Tower Hamlets Council be advised that while the application is generally acceptable in strategic planning terms the application does not comply with the London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 86 of this report; but that the possible remedies set out in this paragraph could address these deficiencies. Context 1 On the 20 January 2014 the Mayor of London received documents from Tower Hamlets Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses.

  • 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.

  • Capital Grant Release from the Whitechapel High Street Fund To
    Commissioner Decision Report 24 May 2016 Report of: Classification: Aman Dalvi Unrestricted Corporate Director, Development and Renewal Report Title: Whitechapel High Street Fund as grant to London Small Business Centre to deliver capital refurbishment and accessible workspace at 206 Whitechapel Road (SITE 2) Originating Officer(s) Duncan Brown, Strategic Project Manager, Whitechapel Delivery Team Wards affected Whitechapel, Stepney Green, Spitalfields-and-Banglatown, Bethnal Green Key Decision? Yes Community Plan Theme A great place to live; A fair and prosperous community; A safe and cohesive community EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In July 2015, the Council entered into a jointly sponsored funding agreement known as the Whitechapel High Street Fund (WHSF) with the Greater London Authority (GLA) valued at £1.123 million to be spent in the geographical boundary of the Whitechapel Vision Masterplan SPD area by April 2017. The agreement consists of £520,000 awarded by the GLA matched by a £603,000 contribution from the Council (LBTH). Of this funding, £725,000 is allocated as capital funding for the refurbishment and reuse of vacant and underused spaces in order to contribute towards the delivery of workspace within the Whitechapel area. Of the £725,000 amount, the Council has until 30th September 2016 to allocate approximately £400,000 of unspent GLA match funding towards capital projects, or it must return these monies back to the GLA. Therefore timescales are critical to project spend being delivered within this timeframe. Following a six month pre-qualified site selection process (Call for Spaces) that commenced in September 2015 and bid selection process (Call for Bids) thereafter, this report recommends funding be released against SITE 2 (Royal Mail Group owned vacant unit at 206 Whitechapel Road) from the Whitechapel High Street Fund as grant directly towards the London Small Business Centre, to procure and deliver refurbishment works to enable new accessible workspace provision.

  • Cable Street – Road Safety Improvements
    Cycle Superhighway 3 Upgrade Cable Street – Road Safety Improvements Response to Consultation March 2015 Cycle Superhighway 3 Upgrade Cable Street – Road Safety Improvements Response to Consultation Published March 2015 Executive summary Between 30 January and 27 February 2015, Transport for London (TfL) consulted on road safety improvements to Cable Street as part of an upgrade to Cycle Superhighway 3. We received 90 direct responses to the consultation, 76 (or 85%) of which supported or partially supported our proposals. After considering all responses, we have decided to proceed with the scheme incorporating the following additional measures to those originally proposed: Reviewing the signal timings at the junction of Cable Street and Cannon Street to maximise the green time available for cyclists Replacing the speed cushion with a sinusoidal hump at the junction of Cable Street and Hardinge Street Extending double yellow lines around junctions but not across the cycle track Subject to final discussions with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which is the highway authority responsible for Cable Street, we expect work to start in summer 2015. We will write to local residents and affected properties before work starts to provide a summary of this consultation, an overview of the updated proposals and an outline of the construction programme. This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of the recent consultation, and sets out our response to issues commonly raised.
