Architect : Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands

News Update - 20 Aug 2008:
Doon Street tower approved by UK Communities Secretary Hazel Blears



Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands' proposed 43-storey Doon Street tower on the South Bank to be subject of planning inquiry, communities secretary Hazel Blears confirms
English Heritage & CABE concerned, but supported by MP Kate Hoey

144m high

Developer: Coin Street Community Builders
The development of this residential tower will apparently help fund a public swimming pool and sports centre.

Concerned bodies included English Heritage, Westminster City Council and the Royal Parks. Key issues included the affect on views from Somerset House on the north bank of the River Thames, and the omission of affordable housing, not to mention the height.

In September 2007 Hazel Blears arranged for the application to be referred to her instead of being dealt with by the London Borough of Lambeth, because she considered that the proposal may conflict with national and regional policies.
