Original plans for the development were withdrawn by the developer in 2015 following a recommendation to refuse the scheme by Tower Hamlets Development Committee. Revised plans were submitted in 2015 which were rejected by Tower Hamlets Council in February 2016. [2] The then Mayor of London Boris Johnson called in the scheme in early 2016 which gave him the authority to reject or allow the proposals. [3] It was approved on 27 April 2016. [4]

Consort Place is a mixed-use 80,000-square-metre (860,000 sq ft) development project, which has a gross development value of £470 million and is planned by the Hong Kong developer, Far East Consortium (FEC). It comprises three key buildings: [5] [6] [7]

Additionally, the development features a new public square with ancillary amenities, ground floor retail space, a health centre, and a new school. The North Pole, a 160-year-old pub, has also been restored and reopened. [13]
