Plans for 274 homes led by Muse and Poplar Harca
Architect RMA’s plans for a 25-storey residential tower in Bromley-by-Bow close to the Olympic Park have been given the green light.
Tower Hamlets council gave the go ahead earlier this month for the proposals by Muse Developments and housing provider Poplar Harca, which is the site’s landowner.
The scheme will include more than 270 homes
They will see existing buildings on the 1ha Stroudley Walk site demolished and replaced with a total of four new buildings providing 274 homes, 51% of which will be affordable.
A previous outline approval for a 130-home scheme on the site which included a 16-storey tower was granted in March 2015 but lapsed, allowing a new application to be lodged.

The BBC, Harrow, and a Public Left in the Dark
On February 18, BBC World aired a 26-minute
broadcast on “drug-free treatment” in Norway, and while it was encouraging to see that initiative get this attention, the broadcast, in the way it handled the story, was also a source of disappointment: couldn’t the media, I wondered, ever challenge the conventional wisdom regarding the merits of antipsychotics? Just once?
Then, two days later, I read the latest
publication by Martin Harrow and Thomas Jobe on their findings from their long-term study of psychotic patients, which once more powerfully told of the
