Planners reject Allies & Morrison's Paddington tower

摘要

Westminster council's planning committee has unanimously rejected an Allies & Morrison-designed office tower earmarked for the British Land development Paddington Central.The 22-storey block would have delivered 47,694sq m of offices, along with retail, restaurants, a cinema and gym at the site's western-most extremity, on a site originally reserved for Crossrail but no longer needed for the late-running trans-capital rail link.Named 5 Kingdom Street, the building would have been 19 storeys in height at street level, with three storeys below ground.
