University of East Anglia, as above

Designed by Denys Lasdun as one of the seven newly founded English Universities in the early sixties this campus is a truly spectacular environment in which the concrete structures interact with the landscaped surround. The library is now threatened with an insensitive addition and there is a steady attrition of original building materials. We have put forward all buildings of the original masterplan as well as the Sainsbury Centre.

St. George's Church, Brinkley Road, Six Mile Bottom, Cambridgeshire, Seeley and Paget, 1933, unlisted

This small brick and flint church in a Cambridgeshire hamlet is one of the earlier works of this distinguished partnership. It is in immaculate condition.

Students' Union Building extension, University of Newcastle , William Whitfield, 1962-64

Reinforced concrete extension containing a double-height debating chamber set on pilotis. Has exceptionally detailed timber-lined and board marked concrete interiors. Call for listing was precipitated by proposed demolition of the debating chamber. Unfortunately this went ahead before it was assessed but the main building is still under consideration.

Natural House, Leicester, Anthony Drew-Edwards, 1973-76, unlisted

This house is the client's interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright's book, The Natural House, in which he defines his concept of Organic Architecture as applied to personal dwellings. The single storey dwelling embraces its environment, with large expanses of glazing ensuring a limited barrier between building and landscape.

Huddersfield Art Gallery and Library, EH Ashburner, 1937

An excellent classical design, executed in stone with sculpted frieze and figures. Intact throughout. Kirklees Council's announcement that its future is currently being reviewed, including possible demolition, resulted in our application to list.

38 Millfield Lane , Highgate, London , Philip Pank, 1968-9

Completely intact house commissioned by the literary agent Harvey Unna, who died this year, leaving it vulnerable to developers. Two-storey brick house, with main living spaces at first floor level and incredible wood-lined interior lounge and kitchen.

Yakeley House, 21 Horn Lane, Linton, Cambridgeshire; Stephen Yakeley, 1971, unlisted
