Blacklisted Links Found on George Tavern[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected links on George Tavern which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Property development dispute[edit]

In 2002, Pauline Forster purchased the George Tavern at auction. The original plot was split at auction, with the nightclub Stepneys being sold to a landlord, who then sold it to Swan Housing Association.

In 2008 Swan Housing Association submitted plans to the local council Tower Hamlets to build a development of residential flats on what was once Stepney's Nightclub. Kate Moss,^[1] Amy Winehouse,^[2] Grace Jones and Ian McKellen^[3] joined a campaign to halt the development.^[4] Tower Hamlets rejected Swan Housing Association's proposal.

In 2010, property company Swan Housing Association submitted new plans to Tower Hamlets, which were again turned down by the local council. Swan then appealed this decision to the Secretary of State via the Planning Inspectorate, which overruled the decision of Tower Hamlets and granted permission for the development in October 2014.^[5] The chair of Swan Housing Association, Valerie Owen OBE also serves on the board of the Planning Inspectorate.^[6]

John Cooper Clarke,^[7] Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs and BBC talent show The Voice,^[8] BBC radio DJ Jo Whiley, Peaches Geldof, indie band The Guillemots,^[9] Olympian Tom Daley, and filmmaker Dustin Lance Black^[10] have all supported Forster's ongoing campaign. Music charity Music Heritage UK also backed the campaign.^[11]

Forster appealed the decision of the Planning Inspectorate at the High Court and lost, but won the right to appeal at an oral hearing before the Court of Appeal, scheduled for October 2016.^[12]^[13]

Replacing the Property development dispute[edit]

The above section is the original Property development dispute in this article. I intend to replace this long section with a brief mention of the dispute here, and put the details in the Pauline Forster article. I am doing this replacement while doing copyediting of the rest of the article.--DThomsen8 (talk) 00:11, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
