Revised plans for Bishopsgate Goodsyard released

Revised plans for Bishopsgate Goodsyard in east London have been released following a consultation process that resulted in criticism from local residents. The Hammerson-Ballymore joint venture is adding an extra office building to generate 250,000ft² of employment space, while the design of the office buildings has also been revised. Amends to the proposed residential blocks include a reduction in height equivalent to six storeys, with a loss of 108 units in the buildings, which will now use more brick than glass in their design.
