These two apartment blocks on the river front, typical of 2000's riverside developments in London, opened this year (2006). Phase 2 will be in the foreground of the photo if it gets planning permission. Update 2023 : Mast Quay 2 got planning permission in 2012, for a building of over 200 apartments and it was built. However in 2023 the local council ordered that it should be demolished, because there were 26 major deviations from the original planning permission. By this time many of the apartments were occupied. See this article in The Guardian of 27 Sept 2023 - https://www.theguardian.com/global/2023/sep/27/london-apartment-block-that-deviates-from-plans-must-be-torn-down-says-council. The developer is entitled to appeal the decision, what will happen?
