Shoreditch needs your help to Ditch the Block
Shoreditch needs your help to Ditch the Block
OPEN Shoreditch member Jago Action Group is taking up arms against the gross over development of the Huntingdon Estate, the light industrial estate bordered by Bethnal Green Road and Redchurch Street. Developers Londonnewcastle are so passionate about the neighbourhood that they want to bless this low-rise mixed residential quarter with a 25-storey tower block
( Err...surely "to dig themselves out of the large hole in their balance sheet, as a result of taking an option on the site at the height of the property boom." )
ACT NOW - the planners have asked for any objections by 19th April.

Mansion Global USA seeks overseas investors for Dalstons exclusive new tower block “FiftySevenEast”
Mansion Global USA seeks overseas investors for Dalstons exclusive new tower block “FiftySevenEast”
On line marketeers Mansion Global, part of Dow Jones, has launched its promotion of “FiftySevenEast - Dalston with a view” - the 15 storey tower development on Kingsland High Street (next to Dalston Kingsland station) now under construction. "East London is about more than hipsters" it says. Its about "looking for a return on investment." Prices start at £470,000 rising to £1,500,000.
The FiftySevenEast tower was planned to be 19 storeys, as this image shows, but was later reduced to 15 storeys
Mansion Globals mission is to connect "the worlds affluent real restate buyers with prestige properties across the globe", and advises that Londons East End is "attracting more and more foreign buyers ". Imperial Dragon, who specialise in UK investment for Asian clients, are also marketing the development.
The new residents targeted for Dalston - as promoted by the FiftySevenEast marketeers
OPEN Dalston opposed planning permission for FitySevenEast because, although huge profit is derived from stacking up the site, the real cost is the detriment to the surrounding area by over development and a failure to confer adequate community benefit.
The development will dominate the High Street, and so diminish neighbouring listed heritage buildings. Like a lighthouse in reverse, it will block sunlight from local homes, businesses and public spaces, and it will create high winds locally.
News article in Londons Evening standard. It refers to an OPEN Dalston meeting arranged with London Mayor, to discuss public space, but Boris didnt intervene to improve the scheme.
Dalstons greatest need, for affordable rentals, family homes and childrens play areas, are largely ignored. Of 98 flats there will be only14 "affordable starter homes", all in the front block with their own poor door, and even those are at prices requiring more than double the average Hackney household income.
The original scheme was unanimously turned down by the Committee after OPEN Dalstons vociferous campaign and 1,300 signature petition. The amended scheme only received planning permission after a special meeting between the developers and the Hackney Planning Committee, at which the public was not allowed to speak. The meeting was called, we were told, to "clear up misunderstandings" which had led to the earlier refusaL.
After approval the FiftySevenEast scheme was then sold on to Taylor Wimpey which had itself won planning permission to build an exclusive gated development on former public land sold by TfL, above the Western Curve railway tunnels , also on Kingsland High Street. Both schemes are now under construction.
Taylor Wimpeys seven-storey Western Curve scheme, just south of FiftySevenEast, is also now under construction. It is nearly double the height of its neighbours and even some of the new flats are below British Standards. Hackney Council provided over £1million in public funds to help make the scheme possible ( Using public money to fund private investment is also known as corporate welfare - Ed).
