Swirling design for Shoreditch

London Newcastle have submitted plans for a site in Shoreditch, opposite the newly built Shoreditch High Street overground station and next to the Tea building. It will also be across the road and around 50 yards from the proposed 'Box Park', blog story which will house a shopping mall made out of shipping containers. The December 2010 story on the scoping opinion can be viewed here.

 The development if permitted will provide 116 private residential units in total within a 22-storey twisting design. Other A1 retail and D1 community uses will also be provided. The affordable housing element is proposed to be all off-site on Fleet Street Hill, around a 5-10 minute walk away. 43 residential units are proposed here on a site bounded by railway lines to the north and south.
