What the hell is Doug Black going on about? Muscular concrete forms teasing out the character of Brixton as exemplified by arch openings in Electric Avenue etc.
Yet he clearly couldn't sayi it was design excellence - but this is a world class architect and its the building you have before you. Yeah.

It's such high quality that an overwhelming 0.7% of 700+ respondents on Lambeth's site were in favour of it. That's how good it is. World class.

Would that be the same muscular concrete forms that have resulted in the eviction of small businesses and the complete closure of Atlantic Road?

Cllr question on viability and height. ( Is scheme not viable if lower)
Officer reply. Size of scheme required. Critical size needed for this kind of scheme. Scheme respond to Council Creative Enterprise Zone. More office space is sought by Council. Scheme responding to Council "drivers" . Needs to be this amount of office space to have office Ecosystem. Small business can grow in building.
Massing corresponds to the site.
( Officers just love this planning application)
Officer continues significant benefits. Generates employment. Scheme needs to be this size to do this.
Smaller scheme would not give this amount of improvement to public realm.
( So officers see this scheme as big cash injection to Brixton.)

About time. We wanted councillors. They gave us cheerleaders.

It's ugly outside and inside. They should call it the Trump Tower.
Great question - credit to answering with a straight face.

What the fuck? That's not even slightly suspicious, is it?
