Residents were shocked to hear the new 23-storey apartment block above the Thames in south-east London which they have just moved into is set to be demolished by the council.

Jewellery designer Isabelle White, 33, said getting a flat in the block in Greenwich had seemed ‘too good to be true’ after living in Manchester for a year because of a lack of affordable housing in the capital. She moved into her one-bed, £1,200 a month flat only three weeks before the council announced its plans.

After counting 26 main deviations from the original planning permission, the Royal Borough of Greenwich ordered the developers of the Mast Quay II development to pull it down. It means tenants in 204 flats now face the prospect of finding somewhere else to live.

The developer, Comer Homes, said: 'We are justly proud of our track record of delivering high-quality developments across the UK. In our view, the council’s concerns regarding Mast Quay Phase II can be addressed through following normal process and engaging with us on a retrospective planning application.'
