On the 31st March, the day before April Fools day, the GLA held a public consultation on the planning application for Convoy's Wharf development. Johnson had replaced the elected local council as the planning authority, with himself as it seems that he is entitled to do. He now has 5 days to decide.

  2. It took him less time that 5 days, but I give the last word to Crosswhatfields? who record the decision in the light of the growing consensus that this sort of development is not what London nor its communities need.
  3. News shopper catches the decision and comments from Joan Ruddock MP. Frankly, I still want to see the Mayor's decision in writing!
  4. @bridges_tom So why has #convoyswharf been approved by Mayor today? 500 years of royal naval dockyard to be built on, Farrells project!
  5. It was tense but looks like the @TheLenoxProject and sayes court garden will be integral to #Convoyswharf scheme
  6. .@SthLondonPress reporting that no additional affordable housing to be added to the scheme 'its not viable'. #convoyswharf
