’Not a question of whether the site is suitable for tall buildings but of how tall the buildings should be’
A government planning inspector said the Surrey commuter town of Woking is suitable for tall buildings after he overturned a decision by the local council to throw out plans to build five new tower blocks, the tallest of which will be 37 storeys.
The 900-homes scheme by architect JTP was booted out by the borough council last January but EcoWorld London appealed.
