Consultation history
With our partners, EcoWorld London, we launched our first round of public consultation for the Aberfeldy New Masterplan, in November 2020.
A second round of consultation was held in 2021, with a planning application submitted to Tower Hamlets Council in October 2021. The Tower Hamlets planning committee turned down our application in early 2023.
The Mayor of London ‘called in’ our planning application and at a call-in hearing, at City Hall on Friday 26 January, the Deputy Mayor of London gave the go ahead to life-changing plans for the local community.
