Reply To: A few queries about the recent docklands developments….

so far most of the work done in the docklands has been awful. There is so much potential to build great landmark buildings, instead we’re getting bland crap, and all of it around 4 stories high – (citibank is a prime example, would nearly fall asleep looking at it).

Don’t see why building heights are so limited – there is a lot of scope to build good high-rise buildings in the docklands. I think it is the only area of the city where taller buildings should be permitted, better to have a cluster of them in the one area than a few all over the place. The DDDA are to blame for the boring rubbish that has been built so far.
