Proposals to build nearly 1,000 homes in Canary Wharf’s North Quay district have been presented to Tower Hamlets by architects by Allies and Morrison, the fourth practice to have designs on the site in east London.

The firm’s preliminary vision for the plot, which is immediately north of the new Fosters-designed Crossrail station, could deliver around 950 new homes and a range of commercial uses, according to a presentation delivered to Tower Hamlets councillors last week.
