60 Ludgate Hill
Land Securities has submitted a new planning application for permission to redevelop 60 Ludgate Hill and 30 Old Bailey, EC4 into 389,000 sq ft of contemporary office and retail accommodation in the City of London.
The detailed plans, prepared by Fletcher Priest and Sauerbruch Hutton, seek permission for a mixed-use development that will assist in meeting the demand for Grade A office space in the City of London and will enhance leisure and retail facilities, pedestrian links and public spaces.
The proposed development will replace two outdated properties from the 1960’s, both located close to St Paul’s, with high quality office and retail accommodation as well as significant improvements to the local public realm. A new east west pedestrian route will be created across the site linking through to an open space onto Old Bailey. The new piazzetta, graced by a large tree and surrounded by cafes and shops, is formed by three distinct facades each of which catches the sun at different times during the day. The plans also include private roof terraces and green roofs that overlook Old Bailey, Ludgate Hill, St Paul’s Cathedral and the River Thames whilst protecting the views and vistas of St Paul’s.
