Chinese Embassy - Planning Application

Members of the Committee of the Friends of St Katharine Docks (FOSKD) have been involved for the last two years in the Planning consultation over the building of a new Chinese Embassy at the Royal Mint Court site, opposite St Katharine Docks at Tower Hill. 

The LBTH Planning Directorate have now set a date for this Application to be heard by the Strategic Development Committee which will meet on Thursday 1st December 2022. This is a complex matter involving some challenging security issues, some of which remain unresolved at this time. Representations on this matter need to be filed by midnight on 17th November. We realise that this is very short notice, so FOSKD have supplied three documents to aid you in making a representation in time if you wish and you agree with the stance taken by FOSKD as set out in the two letters of representation.
