Have you had a look at the plans to redevelop Bow Wharf? It has been out for consultation for a while, and the if you want to support or object then you had better do so quick as the portal may not accept comments after midnight Sunday.

The Roman Road Bow Neighbourhood Forum have written a detailed article about the plans which you can read here. Objections have been received from organisations such as the Friends of the Regents Canal, and the Greater London Industrial Archeology Society.

An email recently circulated to members of the Roman Road Bow Neighbourhood Forum gets to the heart of the matter and is well worth a read (approx 7 minute read).

To view the planning application you will need to go to Tower Hamlets council’s online portal: Search and comment on planning applications, and type ‘Bow Wharf’ or the application number, PA/25/00557/A1 in the search bar.

How to submit comments on the application

So whether it is the lack of social housing, heritage issues, concerns as to future of the numerous businesses at Bow Wharf please send your comments to Development.Control@towerhamlets.gov.uk, nick.graves@towerhamlets.gov.uk, quoting reference PA/25/00557/A1. Or else you can use the council’s online portal
