Prestigious projects like this are normally put out to what's called a "design competition" rather than a tender as such. The competion briefing would include any restrictions imposed by the outline planning permission (i.e. height, footprint, overall accommodation etc.) - full planning permission would only be granted upon submission of a detailed design but this is normally a formality if the outline conditions have been adhered to. It's possible that due to the nature of the project and the fact that the site will become US sovereign territory the normal planning process would not apply. Whilst not being particularly attracted to the proposed design, I feel its impact on the locale will be less than the overbearing and bombastic structure currently occupying the west end of Grosvenor Sq.

If God were omniprescient, that would mean that human activity is involuntary, thus negating concepts of good or evil and any foundation for faith.


I trust your appearance on the forum represents no similar threat!


Although I think this post may have been entirely predictable, as was that comment etc.

    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
