Thank you for your request received on 14 August 2018 asking for information about the Rotherhithe to Canary Wharf Crossing.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy. I can confirm we hold some of the information you require.
As part of our ongoing work to develop a preferred bridge option, we are undertaking regular engagement with the relevant stakeholders to seek their views and develop an appropriate design; this includes - but is not limited to - the Port of London Authority and English Heritage. At present, no final decisions have been made on the detail of the bridge option and no formal approvals have been sought or granted. Our proposals are under development and before final decisions are taken, we will present these to the public as part of Consultation later this year to invite input.
If this is not the information you are looking for please feel free to contact me.
