Plans approved for Britain’s first women’s-only tower block

Exclusive: 15-storey tower in west London will offer homes to women who face inequality and abuse

Planners have approved designs for what is believed to be Britain’s first women’s-only tower block.

The scheme for 102 flats to be rented to single women is to be built in west London by a housing association founded in 1920 as part of the suffragette movement.
