222 Saint & Sofia Ltd Tower Bridge Road London Southwark SE1 2UP

Awaiting decision Southwark 26/AP/1484 Minor application

Works: Demolition Windows or glazing

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Demolition of the existing shopfront at 222 Tower Bridge Road, including removal of the existing double doors, adjacent glazing, and a faux column, whilst retaining the central structural column. Rebuilding of the shopfront within the original width with a new timber-framed, inward-opening bi-fold/folding door system, with traditional mullion, rail proportions and glazing to match the established shopfront rhythm along Tower Bridge Road. (Amended)
