Save London's City Skyline Campaign
Reject planning permission of 22 Bishopsgate skyscraper proposal by Axa Real Estate and Lipton Rogers
Why is this important?
The proposed skyscraper at 22 Bishopsgate is on plot earmarked for the tallest building in the City of London. This site should therefore be reserved for a building of architectural merit and be world enviable. Instead in Karen Cook of PLP Architecture, (the senior architect of the scheme) own admission to the Architects Journal "we didn't want to appear extravagant in terms of cost and design" "I wanted to do something dignified and simple, allowing the other more articulated one-off pieces (such as the Cheesegrater and the Gerkin) to remain special."
This scheme will destroy the city views to millions of Londoners and affect London's appeal around the world. This particular site will be of special architectural interest to the public and the proposed scheme does not meet their expectation.
The prior superior scheme gained planning permission and is a building worthy in London's skyline. The previous proposal can be found here:

Please sign if you wish the proposal be rejected at planning or called in for public inquiry.
