Comment from Jim Eyre, Director, Wilkinson Eyre
“We are very pleased for our client, Circleplane and, of course, for the team at No. 1 Blackfriars. We are absolutely delighted with the Inspector’s ringing endorsement of the quality of our design and his clear and positive position on both the impact of our scheme from the Blue Bridge in St. James’ Park and on the beneficial contribution in urban design terms to London and in particular Southwark.”
“We look forward to further discussions with Circleplane on how the project is taken forward in what we all recognize is an exceptionally difficult market.”
News Update – Apr 2009
20 Blackfriars Road
Westminster City Council High Court bid to stop Doon Street tower development – set for Jun 2009 with WCC apparently confident of a victory. The Doon Street tower has been referenced as precedent in approval for One Blackfriars (Ian Simpson Architects) and 20 Blackfriars (Wilkinson Eyre), skyscrapers proposed for Southwark. Westminster City Council are apparently concerned to protect key views for example from St James Park out to the east over the River Thames.
