Bevis Marks overshadowed by tower plans

The City’s latest skyscrapers could blot out the light entering the UK’s oldest synagogue.

Rabbi Shalom Morris has raised concerns that proposals for a 48-storey tower and another of 21 storeys, due to be decided by the City Corporation next month, will block natural light from reaching the Bevis Marks synagogue.

He said the Grade I listed building and the City’s only non-Christian place of worship would become “a mushroom in the forest”.
