London's mayor may be about to give a break to those people struggling for space in the capital, with the Evening Standard reporting that he may be about to reverse his policy on blocking high-rise developments.
As part of his election campaign, Boris Johnson pledged to put an end to the construction of skyscrapers across the city, arguing that the policies of his predecessor Ken Livingstone were impacting on the iconic skyline.
However, with space in London currently at a premium, the capital's main newspaper has revealed that one of the mayor's key aides has given his initial approval for plans to build a new high-rise residential development in the east of the city, close to the ground of West Ham United Football Club.
This is in spite of some critics arguing that the 31-storey tower would require the demolition of a popular
market, highlighting the extent of the
space shortage currently facing city planners.
Anyone struggling for space in London or elsewhere may want to look into safe storage options as a short or long-term solution.
