well thank god for that... unfortunately the developers won't give the architects much leeway. What they want, they will effectively demand. Profit before design. Profit before Londoners
Yes, something similar will be back in due course. Public resistance will also probably crumble eventually as it's just too much work without decent planning guidance, and this developer will also quite consciously be working as a trailblazer for others planning similar assaults on the senses. :(
While this is good, unfortunately they're only going to come back with some similar nonsense in a few years' time:
