  • 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of A
    Committee: Date: Planning and Transportation 28 February 2017 Subject: Public 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of a building arranged on three basement floors, ground and 58 upper floors plus mezzanines and plant comprising floorspace for use within Classes A and B1 of the Use Classes Order and a publicly accessible viewing gallery and facilities (sui generis); hard and soft landscaping works; the provision of ancillary servicing and other works incidental to the development. (201,449sq.m. GEA) Ward: Lime Street For Decision Registered No: 16/01150/FULEIA Registered on: 24 November 2016 Conservation Area: St Helen's Place Listed Building: No Summary The planning application relates to the site of the 62 storey tower (294.94m AOD) granted planning permission in June 2016 and which is presently being constructed. The current scheme is for a tower comprising 59 storeys at ground and above (272.32m AOD) with an amended design to the top. The tapering of the upper storeys previously approved has been omitted and replaced by a flat topped lower tower. In other respects the design of the elevations remains as before. The applicants advise that the lowering of the tower in the new proposal is in response to construction management constraints in relation to aviation safeguarding issues. The planning application also incorporates amendments to the base of the building, the public realm and to cycle space provision which were proposed in a S73 amendment application and which your Committee resolved to grant on 28 November 2016, subject to a legal agreement but not yet issued. The building would provide offices, retail at ground level, a viewing gallery with free public access at levels 55 and 56 and a public restaurant and bar at levels 57 and 58.

  • Going, Going … Urban Geology at the End of an Era at Euston Station
    Urban Geology in London No. 27 Going, going … Urban Geology at the end of an era at Euston Station In the next few years, Euston Station will be, in planning strategy parlance, ‘regenerated’, and already the hoardings are going up. This will update the current, tired old 1960s buildings and make space for the coming of the locally much-despised HS2 link to the north of England. In the meantime, this guide is an opportunity to look at the surprisingly interesting urban geology of the area around the station. Catch it quick, it won’t be there for long. The original Euston Station was built in the late 1830s by railway engineer Robert Stevenson along with architects William Cubitt, Philip Hardwick and his son, P.C. Hardwick. This station was demolished in 1961- 2, to make way for a much larger building, serving trains to Scotland, north-west England and North Wales. This was not without protest; the infamous Euston Arch was also destroyed at the time and many fought for the preservation of this icon of early Victorian architecture. Its destruction heightened debate on the edifices of Britain’s industrial past that were being swept away in the name of modernism. The current station, which opened in 1968 was constructed by Taylor Woodrow Construction, with the plaza and surrounding offices designed by Seifert & Partners were built during the 1970s. The architecture, both past and present is described in Pevsner (Cherry & Pevsner, 1998) and in Stamp (2010). The latter book also contains restored photographs of the old station’s exteriors and interiors.
