Westminster savages Ellis Williams' Pimlico scheme

Article Abstract:

Westminster City councillors have demanded a total redesign of Ellis Williams Architects scheme for a new Pimlico School. The plan is to demolish and rebuild the school, along with 169 luxury flats. The proposals were attacked for being mediocre and not in keeping with the surroundings. The potential effects on traffic and disabled access were also criticised. English Heritage has stated that the building could be considered for a Grade II listing and that the scheme for the flats is not of sufficient quality, distinction and sensitivity to enhance the area.
