The Council has given the go-ahead for this "development" on Whitworth Street.
It's in the middle of the Conservation Area, so according to the Council's own guidelines, should not be conspicuous or out of place within its surroundings. So this glass construction should blend in nicely with the slone and brick buildings all around then...
At 16 storeys, it is also over twice as high as the Sackville Street buildings it will adjoin. And as to the ground floor retail units, I'm predicting that we get a new Tesburys Local Metro, an estate agency and the rest boarded up. Don't get me started on the envionmental issues of floor-to-ceiling glass as a cladding material.
It will also put most of the Granby Row area in the Reception Shadow from our TV mast, but that's a minor point of NIMBYism...
