The coroner's concerns
1. unreported tall building near heliport
“London Tall Buildings Policy, implemented after planning permission for St George's Wharf was approved, required reporting of any buildings over 1000 ft, which is the appropriate consideration for Heathrow and City Airport flight paths. In a previous application to development on the site the CAA responded that 575ft would not impact on integrated airspace management and advised consultation with the Heliport. There is no equivalent policy of reporting considering the flight paths to the Heliport”
