Dear Friends and Neighbours
Many thanks for your continuing support.
We now have the Court date for our application for judicial review. The Court hearing is on 1st March at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand WC2A 2LL.
The hearing is in public and we will be able to publish the time and the court room number the day before.
Our claim is a challenge to the loss of sunlight to our local school and park's open spaces and to our homes, the lack of on-site affordable housing and the financial contribution to off-site affordable housing being less than 50% of the City's policy requirement and the damage which this gross over-development will cause to a unique area of post-war heritage architecture.
Our claim will be argued by our very experienced and specialist barrister, Matthew Horton QC, who has the reputation as a "Brilliant heavyweight advocate, who has a great presence and thinks outside the box"

However we can't win this case without money! Please help by donating towards our legal costs. This claim is not only about the damage to our local community but has far reaching importance.
A win will be a blow against property speculation and Londoners being priced out - we need social rented accommodation for people not luxury investment apartments left empty.
It will be a blow against those seeking to damage our architectural heritage and steal our sunlight by over-development.
It will be a blow against corporate governments which seek to exploit community assets for their own benefit.
For far too long the Corporation of London has ignored the community's views and needs in preference to the views of developers. This has to change. If we win this battle there will be far reaching consequences for other developments.
Please help support this campaign (donate here) and put a stop to communities being ignored and the development of more unnecessary overdeveloped luxury investment properties. We need affordable homes here not cash boxes in the sky.
