U&I’s £500m plan to redevelop former London Fire Brigade headquarters rejected following public inquiry

Robert Jenrick has blocked plans for a 443-home mixed use redevelopment of the London Fire Brigade’s art deco former headquarters on the banks of the Thames.

The £500m scheme, developed by U&I and designed by architect Pilbrow & Partners, was set to provide 443 homes, of which 40% were affordable.
