English Heritage "spikes" tower

English Heritage has likened the proposals by Renzo Piano for the 300m high Sellar "shard of glass" skyscraper at London Bridge to a "spike through the heart of the Tower of London". The opposition from English Heritage will prompt a public inquiry into the proposals, leading to the scheme being determined by the new Environment Secretary Stephen Byers. English Heritage at the same meeting supported proposals for two residential towers at Lots Road power station in Chelsea, undoubtably far enough away from any heritage sites, and regarded by English Heritage as "two high quality tall buildings which we think will enhance river views and the skyline of this part of London without damaging the historic environment." It may be sometime before we hear such comments from English Heritage about an office tower in the City of London. - (02-07-2001)
