The City of London Corporation has resolved to approve Evans Randall Investors’ plans for a 12,102m2 commercial development at 3-4 Holborn Circus.

Chairman of the City of London Corporation’s Planning and Transportation Committee, Shravan Joshi, commented: “This scheme delivers both a top-quality office development for City businesses and workers, as well as improved public spaces for everyone to enjoy.

“I welcome the efforts to embed sustainability at the heart of this redevelopment, delivering a net gain in green space, encouraging walking and cycling and incorporating low-carbon measures in the building’s design.

“Schemes which deliver a vibrant public realm, alongside office space which meets the needs of a modern workforce, will continue to draw people back into the City as our recovery gathers pace.”

Managing Director at Evans Randall Investors, Ned Williams, added: “We very much welcome the City of London Corporation’s support for the redevelopment of Thavies Inn House, marking a crucial step in the project’s evolution.

“The design will set the standard for modern occupiers, embracing and exceeding the operational, sustainability and experiential standards required.

“Similarly, the introduction of the new City park and range of associated public realm improvements will redefine this prime, gateway location.”

The City Corporation recently announced an ambitious new programme – Destination City – to reimagine the Square Mile as a world-leading destination for workers, visitors, and residents. It will transform tthe Square Mile’s leisure offer, creating a leading destination for all.
