Description
|
When I took these photographs of New Court in
2014, the building was occupied by the London
School of Business and Finance. However,
the long term future of this 1960s office
building appears to involve demolition.
The plan, proposed in 2012 was, to replace it
with two new blocks: an eight-floor 150,000 sq
ft office block and a seven-floor 25,000 sq ft
residential building, as well as an option for
5,000 sq ft of retail/cafe space at ground
floor level.
In the Summary of the Planning Permission
application, New Court is described as, "...
of no particular architectural or historic
interest and is identified in the Strand
Conservation Area Audit as a 'negative
building that is detrimental to the
character and appearance of the
conservation area' ".
