Allen & Overy benefits community

Allen & Overy as part of its relocation to Bishops Square, Spitalfields is understood to be required by London Borough of Tower Hamlets to complete a Section 106 agreement on 'community benefits' before planning permission is issued. For a Section 106 agreement to be signed by an occupier, with no involvement in the development, is unheard of in planning law. The agreement is said to cover 'soft' obligations such as working with local schools, training and job opportunities. Once the agreement is in place perhaps the last planning issue on the development will all have been resolved. - (14-11-2002)

Spitalfields gets final approval

The redevelopment of Spitalfields moved another step closer this week with the Mayor of London granting planning permission for the scheme. The Foster & Partners scheme has 70,000 sq m (753,480 sq ft) of offices and 4,000 sq m (43,056 sq ft) of retail space. The scheme will require the demolition of half of the 80-year old covered market. The London Borough of Tower Hamlets approved the Spitalfields Development Group's £500m scheme in October. - (02-11-2002)

Allen & Overy finally sign-up

Allen & Overy, the law firm, has formally signed the lease with Hammerson and the Corporation of London for its new 70,000 sq m (750,000 sq ft) headquarters at Bishops Square, Spitalfields, London E1 at £45 psf on a 25-year lease. It is thought that the firm also has a 21-month rent free period. Construction, of the Foster & Partners designed building, should start in early 2003. However everything is still subject to planning consent being granted by Tower Hamlets. The first announcement of the deal was made in March 2002 and at this time the rent free period was 18 months. - (22-09-2002)

Bishops Square plans revised

The plans for Bishops Square at Spitalfields market, by the Spitalfields Development Group, have been re-worked following public consultation. The new plans, by Foster and Partners, take into account the needs of law firm Allen & Overy, which has pre-let the building. The scheme includes 69,675 sq m (749,981 sq ft) of offices and 3,995 sq m (43,002 sq ft) of retail space. The revised plans replace the 'ski-slope' design with a more standard 'stepped' building. - (18-03-2002)

A detailed application for the first phase of the 25,000 sq ft office complex is to go to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets' planning committee next month. - (25-08-2001)

SDG may submit new application

Spitalfields Development Group (SDG), now owned by Hammerson, is according to Property Week thought to be considering submitting a new planning application for its office scheme at 1-10 Bishops Square, London E1. The new application could be submitted for a named occupier once SDG has a pre-let. SDG has been reluctant to submit a new application, as requested by London Borough of Tower Hamlets, as it considers the 'reserved matter' applications submitted as being within the scope of the original 1997 permission. Tower Hamlets had been awaiting legal opinion on the question of whether the reserved matter applications were acceptable or if a new planning application was required due to 'material changes'. - (08-05-2001)
