Turned Down

Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Harborne Road, Birmingham; John Madin Design Partnership, 1958

This building is threatened with demolition which has been conditionally approved by Birmingham City Council. The building which features a mural by John Piper was rejected on the grounds that it has been altered and the interplay of original elements has been lost.

Commercial Union Assurance and Peninsular & Oriental Line (P&O) Buildings, Leadenhall Street and St Mary Axe, The City, London; Gollins Melvin Ward Partnership, 1968-69, unlisted

English Heritage found the ensemble too altered to justify listing. Now there are no more obstacles to its demolition if the Rogers tower scheme goes ahead.

Battersea Power Station, Cringle Street , London ; Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, 1929-53, Grade II

This iconic building was rejected for upgrading to II* since the original machinery has been lost.
