Summary of request
Capital House Site, 40 - 46 St Thomas St, SE1
Dear Sirs
We are aware that there is a proposal in gestation for a planning application in relation to the above site by a company known as Greystar or its associates. This is for an exceptionally high building, standing much higher than its neighbours at 45 floors and intended to provide rooms for 1000 students. The proposal is the successor to a very high predecessor, at 31 floors, that provided for some 500 student rooms and which was approved, (without any social housing provision) in 2010/11 without the intervention of the GLA.
Given the involvement of the GLA in the previous application (for the building dubbed ‘The Quill”) it would seem inevitable that the GLA will have been consulted in relation to the proposed doubling of an already ultra-high-density scheme. Accordingly, under the EIR, please provide copies of all emails, letters, minutes, attendance notes or other documents in the possession of the GLA relating to the impending proposal by way of pre-application communications.
Yours sincerely
