Hawkins Brown to strip away three facades of post-modern extension to 19th century office received hundreds of objections

Hawkins Brown’s controversial plans to partially demolish a grade II-listed block on the edge of the City of London and add a three-storey roof extension have been recommended for approval despite receiving hundreds of objections.

The proposals, designed for real estate investor Castleforge, will be decided at a City planning committee next week and would see three facades of Cripplegate House at 1 Golden Lane stripped away and replaced by a new 12-storey structure with a slightly increased footprint.
