Skyline concern

24th July 2015

Simon Jenkins in the Evening Standard looks at the number of skyscrapers that are reshaping the London skyline, saying that the City of London Corporation has gone against its policy of protecting it. He says the Shard was meant to be a one off but has in fact been a precedent, with the Heron Tower and Walkie Talkie building following and new plans for the site at 22 Bishopsgate set to see a building only 30m short of the Shard’s 300m. He says London has no plan in place to design, cluster or shape its skyline.
