Plans to build a seven-storey office block beside and above a Victorian Tanner Street warehouse - used in early series of the BBC's Dragons' Den - have been approved by Southwark Council at its Planning Committee on 29th October 2018.

Legal & General won backing from Southwark's planning committee for its plan to wrap a seven-storey office block around the three-storey Victorian warehouse. The warehouse, which is not listed, is within the Bermondsey Streetconservation area.  Currently used as an arts venue, 47/49 Tanner Street was a polythene bag factory in the 20th century and is said to have originally been a tannery.  The proposals were described as a "high quality and well detailed building"  and completed development would host around 500 jobs. 

As well as arranging a series one-to-one meetings with key stakeholders Carvil arranged a one-day public exhibition.
