DPP are currently in the process of securing full planning permission for a mixed use development comprising hotel, residential dwellings, retail / restaurant units and office / workshop floorspace. The site is heavily constrained within a Conservation Area, Archaeological Priority Area and Strategic Viewing Corridor.

DPP have undertaken extensive pre-application discussions with local residents, Islington Council and Islington Design Review Panel and project managed the submission of the planning application. We are currently in dialogue with the Council in order to secure permission and decision is expected to be reached in December 2014.

Given the constraints of the site and need to achieve a suitable design solution for this prominent location, DPP and the team have negotiated with Islington Council to a point where the application will achieve Planning Officer support.
