Culture secretary’s decision clears path clear for British Land’s scheme

The future of the Make-designed office for UBS was in doubt after English Heritage recommended that the buildings in its way be listed. But Hunt said this week: “Broadgate is not of sufficient historic or architectural interest to merit a listing.”
