McDonald's plans to sell its Blackwall site after finally getting planning permission for Helix-London.

The fast food company's joint application for a two-tower residential scheme in Trafalgar Way was granted at the third attempt this week, but it will not be tackling the project itself.

McDonald's has finally secured clearance for Helix-London at the third time of asking.

The international fast food giant's plans for a twin-tower development at its Trafalgar Way site have been rejected twice by Tower Hamlets Council, but were cleared at Tuesday's Strategic Development Committee meeting.

McDonald's has announced it is spending £250,000 on a facelift for its Trafalgar Way outlet - despite seeking permission to knock it down.

The fast food chain will spruce up its Blackwall branch in November as part of its £50million UK remodelling drive. But it is also keen to replace it with high-rise flats as part of a joint project with Trafalgar Way Ltd.

A FUTURISTIC two-tower scheme may soon rise from the ashes of the Trafalgar Way McDonald's restaurant.

Helix-London is a 397-unit residential complex boasting a children's play area, creche, convenience stores and a garden area. The current McDonald's eatery will also return as a ground-floor outlet.

Developers are also eyeing up several improvements for passing pedestrians as part of the scheme, which was submitted to planners last month.

McDonalds is currently located on the cusp of the Aspen Way roundabout, in the midst of hotbed of potential developments including the 3,000-home Blackwall Reach scheme.

A PAIR of towering developments on either side of Canary Wharf have edged closer to reality.

Global fast food giant McDonald’s has submitted full plans for its joint residential project on Trafalgar Way following two exhibitions last year.

The 397-unit two tower project is being developed on the eaterie’s current site in conjunction with Trafalgar Way Ltd, and will feature buildings of 29 and 36 storeys.

Negotiations to the west of the Wharf are also continuing between Tower Hamlets council and Canary Wharf Group (CWG).

The estate landowner has provided extra environmental information for its three-tower Heron Quays West scheme, which was filed with the council in November.

Further details were requested last month on how developers would minimise the impact of construction. The finished building would house retail and office space in towers of 12, 21 and 33 storeys.
