Scheme sparked uproar for its proposed demolition of historic buildings

Eric Parry Architects’ proposals for a £170m judicial complex in the City of London were approved today.

The City Corporation’s planning committee approved the scheme despite uproar over the proposed loss of historic buildings including cherished facades on Fleet Street, London’s famous newspaper district.

The development, which will replace an entire city block in a conservation area between Whitefriars Street and Salisbury Court on the south side of Fleet Street, will include a new headquarters for City of London Police, a courts complex and a commercial building to help fund the project.
