UK communities secretary Angela Rayner calls for planning inquiry into David Chipperfield's Royal Mint site conversion plan for a Chinese embassy in east London.

Angela Rayner, the UK communities secretary, has called for a planning inquiry into architect David Chipperfield's proposal to convert the former Royal Mint site in east London into a Chinese embassy. This decision shifts the review from the Greater London Authority to Rayner, following concerns that the plans may breach local planning policies, as previously highlighted in a letter to Tower Hamlets council. The inquiry will assess compliance with UK regulations and community impact.
