Please remember that whilst my letter of objection will be written in support of all the points made in both petitions, it will only count as one objection. For my letter of objection and all the other necessary letters of objection from tenants’ and residents’ organisations and amenity societies to be effective, they must be supported by thousands of the same people signing both my petitions by 22 January 2017.
In my forthcoming letter, I hope to elaborate on some of the points. For instance, the fake heritage tower would not only be higher and taller than the original shortened ventilation tower, it would also be raised over the back or corridor part of the main building. And it would be much wider than the original tower, which is a vertical continuation of the ‘frontispiece’ embellishing the central part of the central advanced block.
SAVE Britain’s Heritage and the Greater London Industrial Archaeology Society are writing letters of objection; and it is more than likely that the Victorian Society will also write.
