Take Action

Urgent action is required to Push the City to do the right thing for people and the planet – Stop. Save. Reimagine

On 20 November 2023 the City submitted its proposal to demolish the former Museum of London and Bastion House to the City’s own planning authority.

BQA is opposing the scheme and will ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities to ‘call in’ the plans and hold a public inquiry into unsustainable and unnecessary construction in the Square Mile that will degrade a world-class shared environment. To do this we need your support.

You can object here.

A guide to ‘Valid’ planning criteria can be found here.

Please support our urgent CROWD FUNDER to persuade the City to do the right thing. This will help fund expert witnesses and legal advice to challenge the City of London Corporation.

We have launched an urgent public appeal seeking donations to help amplify the BQA’s case for creative retrofit and imaginative reuse of buildings designed by Powell & Moya – architects of the Festival of Britain Skylon. It will also help fund expert witnesses and legal advice to challenge to the City of London Corporation, which is proceeding with its planning application for London Wall West in the face of national and local outcry. Supporters of BQA include the C20 Society, cross-party politicians, prominent design historians and international architecture commentators.
