Mast Quay II tenants may need to find new homes after Greenwich ordered demolition of tower complex
Renters at a cluster of new Thameside apartment complex expressed shock on Wednesday after the Royal Borough of Greenwich ordered the “unprecedented” demolition of 204 homes over what it said were a series of planning breaches.
Many residents at the Mast Quay Phase II development in Woolwich first learned the news from journalists after the local authority announced on Monday that the developer, Comer Homes Group, must raze the buildings because of 26 major deviations from the original planning consent. It only opened last year in a borough with a social housing waiting list of more than 20,000 households. The council says the renters may need to find new homes.
