A new front in the battle over Liverpool Street station opened on Wednesday when the national conservation watchdog said the proposed redevelopment was “grossly disproportionate” and would harm the “extraordinary historic character of the City of London as a whole”.
Historic England said it would object in the “strongest terms” to the £1.5bn proposals to build a 16-storey tower block on top of the historic station and listed Great Eastern Hotel, now known as the Andaz.
