BD2: Tall Buildings

A tall building is one that is more than 30 metres in height above ground level.

Tall buildings are directed to the locations shown on the policies map in Tall Building Zones.

In Tall Buildings Zones heights should be consistent with the general building heights above ground level shown on the policies map, stepping down towards the Zone’s edge.

In intensification corridors and town centres outside conservation areas and areas of distinctive residential character developments of a general building height of 15 metres above ground level could be acceptable, with opportunities to go higher at strategic points in town centres.

In all cases the tall buildings must be shown to be positive additions to the skyline that would enhance the overall character of the area. They should be of exceptional design quality, consistent with London Plan Policy requirements in showing how they positively address their visual, functional, environmental and cumulative impacts.
