In the interests of those people interested in the planned redevelopment of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, I am providing a link to the proposals, which were posted earlier in the week:-

It shows that the plans have been drawn up with care and with the help and advice of the Hughes, the previous owners.

But it also demonstrates that it is a purely commercial hotel development, based on the Hughes’s belief that it is no longer possible to operate a working foundry in Whitechapel and therefore asking for change of use.

Since there is now a well developed alternative proposal, this argument should be rejected.
