In total, there are 583 tall buildings which are proposed or approved with 109 of those currently under construction, 28 per cent and 19 per cent higher than back in 2016 respectively.” Context is essential: the future pipeline may have contracted slightly, but it remains significant. Stuart Baillie, Head of Planning at Knight Frank said: “The survey points to a record level of permissions being granted last year, up 26 per cent on 2020, and the number of completed projects was robust. While more high-rises are being actively built, there is a downward trend in planning applications, suggesting the number of new mega-towers could slowly reduce once this crop is built. The findings come in the 2022 edition of the annual New London Architecture (NLA) London Tall Buildings Survey, published in partnership with global property consultancy Knight Frank.

Tall buildings are also shifting towards outer London, with 88 tall buildings in Zones 3 and 4, and 41 in Zone 5, the analysis shows. The data suggests that this year could be a bumper crop for high-rise completions, with 46 tall buildings expected to complete this year – a third up on the 2021 total. Commercial buildings for office and shop use account for just 13 per cent of the total pipeline. The high-rises are expected to provide 82,000 new homes - or a little under two years’ worth of housing need based on City Hall requirements of 52,000 new dwellings a year. It brings the total number of tall buildings in the pipeline in London to nearly 600. More than 109 tall building schemes are now actively under construction across the capital, while 341 tall buildings currently have planning permission to go ahead and are awaiting construction.Īnother 71 have been granted planning permission but are yet to signed off funds for the council as part of developer contributions to the community. A record level of planning permissions were granted for tall buildings in the capital last year, increasing by a quarter compared to 2020.
