Work on grade I-listed building will be decided by January planning inquiry

Squire & Partners’ proposals to convert the capital’s grade I-listed Custom House into a 200-room hotel have been formally rejected by the City of London ahead of a planning inquiry that is due to kick off in January.

Members of the City of London’s Planning and Transportation Committee this week voted unanimously to refuse the application, drawn up for Cannon Capital Developments and Globalgem Hotels. Others working on the scheme include QS Gardiner & Theobald, heritage consultant Monatgue Evans and MEP engineer Norman, Disney & Young.
