p.1 Major Works to the Estate 
The program of major works to the East India Estate has commenced and is well in hand. However, due to the withdrawal of the planning application in September 2008 new build elements of the scheme will have been subject to delays. 

The impact of the global financial downturn is also having an impact on the deliverability of certain aspects of the scheme due to provide the required cross subsidy. Poplar Harca has been looking at alternative solutions and funding models to ensure they are able to achieve the promises made in the offer document.
