Overall, I'm broadly supportive of the project and I really like the integration of the gas holders in the design.
Two things concern me, however:
- Picture 8 (third last) in SE9's original post shows a render of an 18-storey building and the planning application (Plot 3 Elevation G) shows likewise, despite stating on page 2 of the July 2016 Masterplan that height would be restricted to 13 storeys (http://www.oakda.co.uk/media/pdf/s/a/OAKDA_Draft_Masterplan_Executive_Summary_July_2016.pdf) - not a great start by Berkeley.
- Also, I had hoped that the exterior finish and materials would more resemble the Alliance Building in Dublin or the Gasholders in King's Cross.
