Tower Hamlets Council has granted Latimer, the development arm of Clarion, planning permission to redevelop the London Chest Hospital site in Bethnal Green, East London.

The project will involve demolishing most of the existing structures, preserving only the Grade II Listed parts of the main hospital building, which was built in the 1850s.

Five new buildings, ranging from five to nine storeys, will be constructed, providing 274 new homes. Half of these homes will be affordable housing, with 76 designated for social rent.
