Heritage groups have consistently undermined London's economic development. There is no planning application even on the table, and the usual suspects are already jumping up and down. We need to realize that a substantial percentage of our wealth is due to the financial sector and we need to allow them to develop proper infrastructure. There is now a cluster of skyscrapers emerging in the City and any additional towers would naturally fit in. We should also remember that heritage groups have lost public inquiries against Heron Tower, the Shard and the Walkie Talkie in recent years. You would have thought they got the message by now.
