Mayor says sign-off of scheme featuring 500 homes could happen in December

The redevelopment of Bishopsgate Goodsyard could still get planning permission by the end of this year if the plans are lodged quickly enough, mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said.

When developers Ballymore and Hammerson unveiled their revised proposals for the long-running project in November last year, they said formal plans were expected to be lodged in early 2019, but the most recent round of consultation took place only in March.

Documents relating to a planning-performance agreement for the project published by City Hall reveal that Khan still believes the revised application could be evaluated and determined before the end of this year – but only if the plans are lodged within the next few days.
