‘I’m not sure it will ever be built,’ boss admits

Croydon’s planning director has questioned whether One Lansdowne, which would be Britain’s second-tallest tower, will ever be built.

The project, designed by Piers Gough of CZWG, won planning last autumn amid much fanfare, but work has not yet started on site.
