A decision on whether to grant Sunborn International's yacht an extended stay in the Royal Docks has been deferred until March.

Newham Council had approved a previous application in October to put a 153 room hotel yacht next to the Excel centre.

Plans to place a 153 bedroom yacht next to the Excel were approved on Wednesday night despite heavy objections from the local community.

The decision by Newham Council will see the ship, a replacement for the original yacht which was relocated to Lagos, put next to Royal Victoria Square on a 15-year lease.
