City of London Apart Hotel granted Planning Permission

Brimelow McSweeney have been granted Planning Permission by the City of London for a new apart-hotel containing 91 apartments.

The building is located on a prominent site on Cannon Street adjacent to Mansion House Underground station and close St.Paul's Cathedral.

The development consists of the construction of a new six storey building facing onto Great St.Thomas Apostle and the remodelling and extension of the existing historic building facing onto Cannon Street.

The scheme has been carefully designed to maximise the building envelope within the St.Paul's height restrictions.
