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.
