Planning Inquiry Underway for Brick Lane Developments
A planning inspector will rule on long-running disputes in east London regarding the redevelopment of three sites on and around Brick Lane.
Campaigners, developers, and Tower Hamlets Council have made their cases as the inquiry got underway.
The Save Brick Lane Campaign opposes the plans, stating they "fail to reflect local wants and needs" and don't provide enough housing.
The inquiry follows appeals by property owner Truman Estates and Zeloof LLP to the government's Planning Inspectorate to decide on the applications.
