What is the exact point of this when I have made a far fuller list in the developments thread?

Canopus is different now. And when did Sarah Tower get pp?

I believe a tower of that height has outline consent for that site.

GN Tower needs to be marked U/C. And if you are going to persist with this list EB, maybe you should make a distinction between real submitted proposals and schemes in pre-planning,

Still being fitted out. I don't class that as complete. As for the list, I just took it from skyscrapernews so don't blame me, blame caw.

Highriser one is fully finished, Edge B. And EB, also mark on where heights are estimated too.

The exact point is that 1. you don't have all the complete buildings in your list, 2. you don't have heights listed for them all and 3. it isn't in the same format as the Birmingham list. The aim was to have lists for each city that could be compared. I don't see you criticising the Birmingham one, other than questioning some of it's numbers.

I didn't criticise the Brum one because they don't already have a list!

I don't have heights listed for buildings only when I don't know the height. It's ok, keep it.

I think you need to have a "To be demolished" category EB. Make its colour the same as the background.

I'm having it in exactly the same format as the Birmingham one, that way when you look at the two lists you see the same thing.

Earlyface, I know it's a bitch to do, but whichever buildings you can find pics for, could you hyperlink the text to a pic of each building, rednering or existing pics?

Well everyone else here is stoned out of their tree and monged on the sofa... Give me another glass or two of wine and we'll see! ;)
