Regent's Wharf redevelopment

(Planning ref: P2019/3481/FUL)

Here is an illustration of the proposed canal frontage. The first two buildings are mostly unaltered apart from the additional plant on the rooftops but the third building is a completely new build.

The proposed changes are illustrated in these two aerial views. The canal seems mostly unaffected but the homes to the right will be boxed in once the courtyard is lost.

LATEST NEWS

This application was discussed by the planning committee on 23rd June 2020 and the councillors voted to defer it because there were still no many deficiencies.

With very little warning it was discussed again on 22nd July 2020 and the councillors reluctantly approved it.

See articles in the Islington Gazette and the Islington Tribune

See the draft minutes (23rd june) ... and the officer's reports for 23rd June (18MB), 23rd June (update), 21st July and 21st July (update)

Why to object

These proposals are less harmful to the canal than the 2017 plan, but there are still reasons why people are objecting. For example:

Light pollution

Noise pollution

Heritage

Overdevelopment

Loss of light

Use of HGVs instead of barges during demolition
