    Bit late?

    Just a tad...

    “The whole site should be reviewed again. It is not a bad building but pays no regard whatsoever to surrounding buildings.”

    Nor did the Scottish Provident building, to be fair.

    I'll have a look for the plans of this "entirely new modernist frontage with limestone columns and large windows offering views out towards the Forth" that they've lodged when I have a bit of time.

    I'm sure the planning committee won't just rubber stamp whatever is put in front of them, regardless of its suitability for the site. They don't have a track record of doing anything like that at all. At all, at all.

    As far as I can tell "the entirely new modernist frontage with limestone columns and large windows" is the same design they've been touting for several months. At least, that's the one featured in the appendices to the most recent application.
