    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 22 February 2016
    You called in this planning application for tower blocks of luxury apartments, as high as 48 storeys, after both Tower Hamlets and neighbouring Hackney local authorities rejected the scheme.

    The Royal Horticultural Society's recently published report 'Why we all need Greening Grey Britain' highlighted the extent of paved over front gardens.
