Southwark council votes against 41-storey residential tower
Ministry of Sound has won its planning battle with developer Oakmayne Properties, over a proposed 41-storey residential tower over the road from the famous south London club.
Southwark council鈥檚 planning committee voted to reject the 255-flat development 鈥� designed by Allies & Morrison 鈥� by five to nil, with one abstention, at a meeting last night.
In its submission to the committee the south London club had argued it was 鈥渉ighly likely鈥� complaints from residents would lead to it losing its licence if councillors had approved the scheme.
Oakmayne Properties, the Isle of Man-based developer, will appeal against the decision. The developer had offered to 鈥渢riple glaze鈥� the first 20-30 storeys of flats immediately facing the club, and argued that the venue and residents could co-exist.
