Consort Place, formerly known as Alpha Square, is a mixed-use development in the Isle of Dogs, London, England, south of the financial estate of Canary Wharf.
Original plans for the development were withdrawn by the developer in 2015 following a recommendation to refuse the scheme by Tower Hamlets Development Committee. Revised plans were submitted in 2015 which were rejected by Tower Hamlets Council in February 2016.[2] The then Mayor of LondonBoris Johnson called in the scheme in early 2016 which gave him the authority to reject or allow the proposals.[3] It was approved on 27 April 2016.[4]
