Several items concerning high buildings in central London are in the news this week. "Towards a London Plan", the strategic development discussion paper, has just been issued by the Greater London Authority. One of the key elements of the proposals is to increase the supply of affordable office space by allowing more tall buildings, particularly at main railway stations. A joint report by English Heritage and CABE is said to be due out after the election and is reported to be saying that proposals for high buildings must be judged on their individual merits. In addition The Architecture Association is staging a mini-exhibition entitled "Tower Power: Does size matter?" at various central London venues next month. On display will be the plans for several London skycraper schemes. For further details call 020 7253 3334. - (11-05-2001)
