The Isle of Dogs: Four Development Waves, Five Planning Models, Twelve
Progress in Planning 71 (2009) 87–151 www.elsevier.com/locate/pplann The Isle of Dogs: Four development waves, five planning models, twelve plans, thirty-five years, and a renaissance ... of sorts Matthew Carmona * The Bartlett School of Planning, UCL, 22 Gordon Street, London WC1H 0QB, United Kingdom Abstract The story of the redevelopment of the Isle of Dogs in London’s Docklands is one that has only partially been told. Most professional and academic interest in the area ceased following the property crash of the early 1990s, when the demise of Olympia & York, developers of Canary Wharf, seemed to bear out many contemporary critiques. Yet the market bounced back, and so did Canary Wharf, with increasingly profound impacts on the rest of the Island. This paper takes an explicitly historical approach using contemporaneous professional critiques and more reflective academic accounts of the planning and development of the Isle of Dogs to examine whether we can now conclude that an urban renaissance has taken place in this part of London. An extensive review of the literature is supplemented with analysis of physical change on the ground and by analysis of the range of relevant plans and policy documents that have been produced to guide development over the 35-year period since the regeneration began. The paper asks: What forms of planning have we seen on the Island; what role has design played in these; what outcomes have resulted from these processes; and, as a result, have we yet seen an urban renaissance? # 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

London Borough of Tower Hamlets
Application by Transport for London for an Order Granting Development Consent for the Silvertown Tunnel (Planning Inspectorate Reference: TR010021) London Borough of Tower Hamlets (Reference no: SILV-396 ) Local Impact Report November 2016 1 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Local Impact Report The London Borough of Tower Hamlets (LBTH) is one of the three local authorities directly impacted by the proposed Silvertown Tunnel in that it will affect the operation and management of the Blackwall tunnel; of which the northern portal is located within the south east corner of the borough. The council has submitted relevant representations and as an interested party, LBTH is invited to submit a Local Impact Report (LIR) giving details of the likely impact of the proposed development on the authority’s area. This document constitutes LBTH’s (‘the Council’) LIR in relation to the application by Transport for London (TfL) for a Development Consent Order (DCO) for the Silvertown Tunnel (Planning Inspectorate reference TR010021). To inform this document, LBTH has carried out a review of appropriate parts of the Silvertown Tunnel Environmental Statement (ES) and other relevant documentation prepared by TfL that relate to the impact of the DCO proposal on the borough. This LIR considers: the socio-economic characteristics of the borough’s population and workforce the planning and transport policies relevant to the scheme the travel and transport patterns of the borough residents, employers and workforce the impact of the congestion problems on travel and transport in the areas adjacent to the Blackwall Tunnel any possible impacts caused by the proximity of the construction worksites to the borough The LIR comments on the principal issues relevant to LBTH as identified in the Examination Authority (ExA) Rule 6 letter issued on 13 th September 2016 concentrating in particular on transportation and traffic, environmental, socio economic impacts and user charging issues.

Management Guidelines London Borough of Tower Hamlets Adopted by Cabinet: 4th November 2009 Narrow Street Conservation Area Page 1 of 18 Narrow Street Introduction Conservation Areas are parts of our local environment with special architectural or historic qualities. They are created by the Council, in consultation with the local community, to preserve and enhance the specific character of these areas for everybody. This guide has been prepared for the following purposes: To comply with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Section 69(1) states that a conservation area is “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance” To provide a detailed appraisal of the area’s architectural and historic character. To provide an overview of planning policy and propose management guidelines on how this character should be preserved and enhanced in the context of appropriate ongoing change. Narrow Street Conservation Area Page 2 of 18 Narrow Street Narrow Street Conservation Area Page 3 of 18 Narrow Street 1. Character Appraisal Overview The Narrow Street Conservation Area was designated in December 1975 and extended in October 2008. It covers the narrow Thames waterfront that once linked Limehouse to Ratcliffe. This includes the entrance to the Limehouse Cut, now filled-in, and Limekiln Dock, enclosed by historic 19 th century warehouses. It also encompasses the Limehouse Basin (the Regents Canal Dock). The area is characterised by 19 th and 20 th century wharf-side buildings relating to the port and commercial activities which developed following the opening of Regent’s Dock in the early 19 th century.
