It depends on what unesco come back with and what the GLA/central gov/english heritage have been doing for the last 6 months, hopefully they were persuaded that tall buildings wont affect the tower, but if they've decided otherwise it could damage a lot of plans.
To be fair on unesco they do have a point, st pauls cathedral has masses of legislation behind it to ensure it remains a protected landmark, whilst the tower has virtually nothing, even though it was classed as a world heritage site. Personally i think the unesco trip was used to scare the gov into doing something quickly instead of fannying about for years.

Ok... as I posted before... from someone Skyscraper forum...
Latest news is that PricewaterhouseCoopers (current occupants of the site) will move in July/August this year and demolition will be starting in September, with core rising in February 2009 and construction finishing in July 2011.
and with the barriers going up I think that it all looks good

It's just difficult to update this thread! As lots go on. I would recommend a forum where I get most of my info from but then I don't think I'm allowed to promote other forums! 
Edit: PwC are moving out. Enabling works has already begun as shown in the above pic.
RE Heron, Norton Rose will move out this year. They are going to start to take the existing building down this year.
RE 122 Leadenhall you could stay construction has begun but first they need to demolish the existing building.
RE Bishopsgate tower, they are demolishing the current building for a spec build.
RE Riverside South, it's under construction with a height increase and slight design change.
RE 20 Fenchurch Street, it is being called in for public enquiry.
RE PP they are now under construction.
RE 51 Lime Street, it is now externally complete.
RE Broadgate tower, it is nearly topped out. The cladding is going on.

Linking other forums is ok, as long as they aren't competitors. I believe, anyhow.
