Description

The City of London is set to break a decade-long record for planning decisions in 2025, with major projects like redeveloping a Grade one-listed building and a new 54-storey tower near Liverpool Street Station. The city aims to add over one million square metres of office space by 2040, but plans for a 21-storey office block over Liverpool Street Station have faced delays due to public backlash. Meanwhile, plans to demolish a building for a new 21-storey office at One Silk Street have drawn over 1,000 objections. Looking ahead, decisions on these schemes and exciting openings like the new London Museum in Smithfield and the Barbican Centres renewal are expected in 2026.
