Historic England presses City to adjust plan for Tower of London protection
Historic England has urged adjustments to the City of London's local plan to better safeguard the Tower of London, the World Heritage Site at the capital's eastern edge.

Historic England has called on the City of London to tweak its planning policies so that new development around the Tower of London does not erode the setting of the World Heritage Site. The advisory body argues that the local plan must give stronger weight to views, context and the historic character of the riverside landmark as the Square Mile's growth continues.
