News of another skyscraper for the City.

This is planned for the Bishopsgate Goods Yard site, and is going into planning later this year.

If built, it will stand opposite the Broadgate Tower (165m) and the Northgate Tower (180m, also in planning). Based on this early model, it looks at least 200m -

Having visited London recently, UNESCO are recommending that LBT and the Bishopsgate Tower be cancelled, or the Tower of London could lose its "World Heritage" status. Please sign this petition to the Mayor of London -

Olympic masterplan unveiled

6 February, 2007

By Vikki Miller

The Olympic Delivery Authority submits a 10,000 page planning application for the Olympic Park

The transformation of east London began today with the submission of a 10,000 page planning application for the Olympic Park for the 2012 games.

The 15-volume document outlining the Olympic Park masterplan, drawn up by an EDAW-led team including Allies & Morrison, HOK Sport, Foreign Office Architects and Buro Happold, is thought to be one of the biggest planning applications in European history.

It lays out the ODA’s proposals for 246 hectares including sports venues, infrastructure, utilities and open spaces.

The new plans show the changes to the original Olympic Park proposal in the bid. These include: relocating the international broadcast centre and main press centre to within the park boundary and a scaled back layout of venues and park facilities.

The planning application is made up of two elements: one for site preparation and the other for construction of the Olympic Park and the legacy for east London.

The site preparation document includes:

* Remediation, demolition and earthworks to prepare the land for construction
* Extensive works to waterways, including the construction of new river walls and flood defence walls

The Olympic and legacy application includes:

* The construction of 5 permanent venues (Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, Velopark, Handball Arena, Eton Manor) and 3 temporary sporting venues (Basketball Arena, Hockey Venue, Fencing Venue)
* The construction of an International Broadcast Centre / Main Press Centre
* 11 permanent highway bridges and 13 permanent footbridges
* Above ground utilities, including: A wind turbine which will provide 6% of the Olympic Site’s energy requirements and in legacy will provide energy for the local community

David Higgins, chief executive of the ODA, said it was time to move to the next stage of the project.

He said: “We are ‘locking-in legacy’ at a very early stage – five and a half years before the Games begin – and we now move from the planning phase to the next stage of the Olympic Park project – what we are calling ‘Making the Park 3D – Demolition, Dig and Design’ which will take us to Beijing.”

The planning application will be assessed by the ODA’s planning committee. A decision is expected later this year.

The application also outlines a commitment to prepare a separate document, a legacy masterplan framework, which will focus on post-Olympic delivery or residential, commercial.

Some really great projects here. I like the gold color of the East India Dock Road project.

bit of news:
- Ballymore has confirmed construction start on its Arrowhead Quay scheme in Canary Wharf.
- In the City, Land Securities has indicated 20 Fenchurch Street will not be completed before 2012 at the earliest (if planning permission is granted). They will seek development partner or significant prelet before starting construction. Instead they will build the mixed-use scheme at One New Change without any development partner after Beacon left the joint venture last year.
- British Land has appointed Bovis Lend Lease to build its Leadenhall tower in the heart of the City.
