Late last year, a very controversial plan for the Goodsyard in Shoreditch was purposed. This plan included 1,464 homes and over half a million square feet in office space along with 215,000 sq. ft. in retail space. These plans are heavily opposed due to the height of the seven towers which will make it up, as two of the towers will be similar height to the Walkie-Talkie and tower42 in the city. It is said towers like this will “damage the whole local environment”.
