Bernard Morgan House - Planning application invalid

The BA planning chair sent out an update including the news that the Taylor Wimpey planning application was submitted to the City recently but was found to be invalid, which I think just means they filled in the forms incorrectly.  They'll be back.  Here is the note from the BA planning chair:

The Bernard Morgan House planning proposal has not gone live yet. We have been told from the City Planning Department that their application 'is currently invalid'. [The chair of the Breton House group] is leading a team of local residents on this development and we had a useful meeting with Rob Chipperfield [a City planning officer] and his planning team at the beginning of the month. Following that meeting visits were arranged to view the proposed building site from Breton House, Bowater House and the Cobalt Building.

There is no doubt that replacing BMH by a much taller building will affect the levels of light in the flats of some of our near neighbours and we will be asking for your [house group] support when the time comes. There's a lovely low level apartment block nearing completion near Ironmongers on Central Street, such a pity the proposal for Golden Lane is so much higher than this Islington development.
