The latest on the Whitechapel Bell Foundry has appeared online (see below, but it may be behind a paywall). Our legal advice suggests that any lessee will need to reinstate a Bell Foundry in order to satisfy the requirements of the existing planning consent and we hope that Tower Hamlets will insist on this, assuming that some level of change is required to the existing fabric. So, we look forward to hearing what the alternative is to the proposal from The London Bell Foundry which has made an offer to lease the building from the current owners, Raycliff, and would move in forthwith.
