A decision about whether the Chinese Embassy can move to a site near the Tower of London is to be made later. Chinese officials want to move to Royal Mint Court from its current location in Portland Place, central London. Tower Hamlets Borough Council has received 51 objection letters from residents citing security, privacy and safety concerns. The planning application said it would deliver “significant improvements” to the area and create up to 20 jobs. (https://news.yahoo.com/chinese-embassy-tower-hamlets-councillors-055605106.html) Tower Hamlets’ Strategic Development Committee will either approve, refuse or defer the plans at a meeting later. A deferment would happen if committee members raised concerns and requested more detail beyond the scope of the planning application.
