Westferry Printworks
Reminder Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage Maritime site, it has to be protected, views are from statue next to Royal Observatory
This is worst case view incl larger Printworks scheme (red outline) & all other approved schemes
1/
whc.unesco.org/en/list/795/
This was view in July 2019 with construction underway but no CGI added to show future schemes
Baseline view in other words
For scale I added blue arrow to show Landmark Pinnacle scheme 75 storeys 241 meters high on Marsh Wall under construction (but not at full height then)
2/
This is same 2019 view but with larger 44 storey scheme added which Jenrick approved Jan 2020, note 5 towers visible (more hidden) in red outline on left hand side
3/
2015 views of the smaller 30 storey scheme (4 towers) with background from 2015, note how much changed with July 2019 views in just 4 years
4/
Same 2015 picture with smaller scheme but in outline all later planning permissions as a comparison
Pictures all show how Isle of Dogs becoming Manhattan/Pudong/HK of London
Height & density like nowhere else in UK or London
If 44 storey approved expect even more tall building
5/
Jenrick asked for extra pictures in Dec 19
These views cited by many as a reason for rejecting taller scheme to protect UNESCO World Heritage site
But Jenrick disagreed with his officials "though we are disagreeing with his view that impact on Old Naval College isn't too bad"

There are not that many UNESCO World Heritage sites in England, see dots on map
I had assumed that for a Minister interested in history views were worth protecting?
