it is understood that an application for Planning permission is going to be submitted shortly for a 43 storey building in central London. One of four already going up. It is designed to provide considerable storage space, a hotel and a casino. It is also intended to be an “Artistic Landmark” and is expected to be vividly colourful and with Neon lights installed to show off these colours.
Planning permission has already been granted for a 27 storey building with in a few yards, and Hackney Council passed this in spite of vigorous opposition from local residents. Also the opposition from a local council ward member who resigned on the basis of their decision.
With these two buildings directly opposite our 4 floors, this will take away all of our natural daylight, hence having our lights on day and night, which will be a waste of energy. It is interesting to note that this storage space will be on the first few floors, as they do not need natural daylight, so the hotel rooms will

I'm sure it will be lovely, and looking into the smog isn't any joy in London anyway.

I feel very sorry for you, you must be feeling very depressed about the whole thing. All you can do is make as much fuss and noise as possible, write to anyone and everyone who you think may help. It seems wrong that others can bull-doze their way through your like, just because they want to make money. The only comment that I can make to Hackney council and central London is remember what happened to tall buildings in America a while ago.

If planning permission has been granted but work not yet started,
you may yet have time to send an appeal to the planning ombudsman for your area. You need to write to the council telling them your intentions to complain.
If you can get a few more residents to sign your letter that will have a greater effect.

Storage space? Like a warehouse? At the bottom of a 43 storey landmark building? Hmmm... doesn't sound like clever use of floorspace to me. Are you sure it's not going to be retail at lower levels?

You can object to this planning application on the grounds that your daylight will be reduced. I wish you the best of luck.
