Mayor agrees Lehman Brothers scheme

The mayor of London decided not to direct London Borough of Hackney to refuse the Northgate project, designed by Sidell Gibson for Lehman Brothers. In the decision letter the mayor has said that the 17-storey office and retail development "would contribute to London's global city role". However the mayor also said that he will ensure that the scheme, and the adjoining scheme planned by Railtrack, to not compromise each other when he considers the Railtrack proposals. The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) is thought to be concerned that Hackney failed to consult it on the proposals, which CABE says are "incompatible" with the Railtrack proposals and should be refused. - (02-06-2001)

High buildings make news

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)
