ANOTHER tower could be about to sprout up on the eastern end of the Canary Wharf estate.

Canary Wharf Group (CWG) has submitted an application for a 23-storey development at 25 Churchill Place, which could house around 4,000 employees.

It is the last site within the original estate masterplan to be developed.

The 0.36 hectare plot has existing planning permission for a 61,300 square metre development under the original Enterprise Zone consent for Canary Wharf in 1982, but CWG has bid to increase the height of the building from 80.77 to 130 metres above UK sea level. Site preparations and piling have been completed.

IT could soon be last orders for the City Pride pub.

Developer Glenkerrin has plans for a large building on the site after snapping up the prime development land for a reported £32million. But it remains tight-lipped on when it hopes to call time on the watering hole.

It has been suggested that Glenkerrin is considering a building rising as high as 55-storeys, with a five-storey hotel and 400 apartments.

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.

The final stage of the New Providence Wharf development to the east of Canary Wharf has been approved.

Tower Hamlets Council’s strategic development committee voted to allow the 486-unit scheme, which features 12 and 44-storey buildings as well as a health and fitness club and shops.

Committee members decided developers Ballymore and Landor should contribute £1.5million towards improvements to the nearby Aspen Way roundabout, as well as provide 33 per cent affordable housing on site.

A donation of up to £4m for the roundabout was among the available options, but a majority of committee members opted for the larger percentage of affordable housing.
