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. With virtually little or no apparent benefit to the local community, other than being forced to put with construction related air pollution and congestion, how can you justify this decision which effectively by-passed local accountability?
