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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
