Save Our South Bank

Save Our Southbank!

London’s South Bank – one of the UK’s most popular open spaces – is threatened by two overbearing joined together office tower blocks. Please help us to raise funds for any ongoing legal campaign to fight what has become known as “The Slab” and which Simon Jenkins in the Guardian labeled an “aggressive eyesore.”We are currently awaiting the decision of the Secretary of State, who called it in. We need £3,000 to pay our initial expert witnesses - which includes groundbreaking work on embodied carbon.

The Mitsubishi estate bought ITV’s former studios in 2020. They propose to bulldoze everything including the existing tower and build speculative offices 50% taller and more than double the size. The prominent site means it would be visible from miles around and will destroy treasured views, rob social housing of daylight, and cast the riverside walkway and gardens into shadow – and the construction would unnecessarily throw over 100,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.

It remains a David v Goliath battle : any donation – no matter how large or small – will help us meet the remaining costs of representing the case against this development at the public inquiry. We needed to frame the arguments in legal terms, fund the cost of calling expert witnesses, spend time reviewing and refuting the developer’s claims and then go up against a team of expensive and experienced barristers and professional witnesses.

Our target was to raise £15,000 to pay for our full participation in the Inquiry, where we, as a community, were able to present and cross-examine witnesses and mount our case. It has been a difficult time for raising money but we did raise around £12,000
