    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.

  • London's Skyline and Streetscape Are Undergoing Considerable Change
    in LONDONLondon’s skyline and streetscape are undergoing considerable change and Xypex is participating on many of the city’s most visually dominant, award-winning, and culturally important new and revitalised structures. The architects, engineers and contractors of these developments have avidly endorsed Xypex to waterproof, protect and enhance the durability of their buildings’ concrete. in LONDON From the United Kingdom’s tallest building to London’s most luxurious address and a myriad of fascinating structures in-between, Xypex is there, providing products and services to make concrete better. It feels good to be playing a major role in the current construction dynamics of Central London. It’s also rewarding to be rubbing shoulders with some of the world’s finest architects and engineers as they rework the structural form and function of one of western culture’s most famous business hubs. We give a nod to the Romans and the remnants of the original Roman Wall that still define the outer boundaries of Central London, and also a nod to the likes of Dickens and Shakespeare who trod the very paths that today’s creative teams are revitalising. THE SHARD 32 London Bridge Street The Shard, with its church steeple and cladded shards of glass, is the inspiration and design of Renzo Piano, the project’s architect. At 95-storeys and standing 309.6 metres (1,016 ft) high, The Shard (‘Shard of Glass’) is the tallest building in the UK – a top-down construction project that required the largest continuous concrete pour in UK history; three concrete pumps placed 700 truckloads over 36 hours; a total of 5,500 m3.
