The Mayor of London has issued a Stage 2 decision, refusing planning permission for the proposed Monosodium Glutamate Sphere in Stratford

Thanks for posting up the letter from the Mayor.

I suspect there'll be an odd twitter pushback from a subset of the yimby contingent following this, quoting "significant harm to the outlook of neighbouring properties" and "significant harm to the general amenity enjoyed by residents of their own homes", as if the planning refusal is an affront to progress and equality.

I do sometimes wish that the political legitimacy of the Mayor's office would afford a simple response of "fuck off and do something better with your time and money".

You do get that sort of thing in dictatorships. :)

Ha, Without a doubt. Sorry, it was a totally flippant comment, but perhaps a more reasonable “this doesn’t work with our master plan” might’ve saved a few years of pain.

Anyway, it will be surely be interesting to see what Gove does when it lands on his desk.
