Actually looking at the documentation that goes with the application the impression I got was that the reason original 42 storey plan was downscaled had nothing to do with objections from the Council or local residents. The additional problem with a tower this height was that it would have spoiled key vistas looking out from Kew Gardens which is a World Heritage site. The developers now show visualisations which claim to demonstrate that at 32 storeys the tower will be difficult to spot from Kew. I'm sceptical. As we saw with Empire House, these visualisations tend to take the most favourable viewpoint at the most favourable time of year. |
