After a long silence there has been a sudden flurry of activity regarding Bernard Morgan House.
If you are Facebook savvy your can keep up with events on the Save Bernard Morgan House Facebook page (direct link) or on Barbican Talk in the Local Discussion section.
My understanding, in summary, is that Taylor Wimpey submitted a distinct planning application to demolish Bernard Morgan House in advance of the main planning application being considered by the planning committee. The main planning application was penciled in for May (with one reason for this, I hear, being to avoid the planning application happening before the 2017 election of common councilors).
A number of objections to the demolition were submitted, not least because once the existing building is gone the option for some alternatives (such as Studio City) is eliminated, but see the Facebook group to understand the range of issues raised about the demolition.
The latest news is that Taylor Wimpey may be withdrawing their demolition-only application in order to move their main planning application to the February planning meeting.
It's all go.
Don't forget, it is election year for your common councillors. They are your representative in the City legislature so contact them if you have questions about the process and to ask how they stand on Bernard Morgan house.
