£35m tower could be torn down in light row

|March 20, 2025
A RETIRED couple who say a 17-storey office tower is blocking the light in their apartment are suing in a case that could see the £35million building torn down.
Stephen and Jennifer Powell claim the Arbor Tower is reducing the natural light getting into their £1million sixth-floor apartment.
The newer block is part of the £2billion Bankside Yards development, in Central London’s South Bank, and was completed in 2021. The site is eventually set to consist of eight towers, including “mega-structures” 50 storeys high.
But Arbor could face “demolition” after the Powells and their seventh-floor neighbour Kevin Cooper sued, seeking an injunction to protect their right of light.

Online's fine for wine with these tips
BUYING wine online can be just as daunting as walking into a shop. That was the conclusion of a recent article in Decanter magazine. And they’re not wrong. If anything, I find the endless choice, plus variations in the information available, even more daunting.
