I'd agree with concerns about height and density of the building (although both are probably to be expected). Is the meeting on 13 June at the site?

Book
Chamberlin, Powell and Bon
Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, the first book on the architects of the Golden Lane Estate and Barbican, written by Elain Harwood and published by RIBA Publications with English Heritage and the Twentieth Century Society, is to be published on 8 November.
Based on new archival research and interviews with the architects’ families and surviving partners and their assistants, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon gives incisive accounts of the development of these two key post-war estates. Together the estates illustrate the changing styles of post-war architecture in Britain and offer a model for modern urban living today. The book also describes in detail CP&B’s other major commissions, beginning with Joe Chamberlin’s work at the Festival of Britain and including New Hall, Cambridge (now Murray Edwards College) and their major extensions to Leeds University, which show their interest in technical innovation as well as planning on a grand yet liveable scale.
Chamberlin, Powell and Bon is beautifully illustrated with new photographs by James O. Davies and drawings from the architects’ newly revealed archive, most previously unpublished.
Elain Harwood is a historian with English Heritage and an authority on post-war architecture.
Cost £20

Roland Jeffery replied to Belhr's discussion Richard Cloudesley school redevelopment"For me the issue is about what the design will look like, not whether it will change from education use to affordable housing.
I hope it is not too tall or dense. The 126 units proposed suggest it might be.
However, I live some way from this site,…"
Paul Lincoln replied to Belhr's discussion Richard Cloudesley school redevelopment"The information on the Islington website is quite helpful as, at this stage, the issue is whether or not it is OK for Islington to dispose of a school site.

Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Belhr's discussion Richard Cloudesley school redevelopment"Anything that Islington Council proposes is worrying, especially housing! Their housing block in Goswell Road, overlooking Crescent House, has certainly got some very noisy people living there, though it has been a bit quieter lately. "

Islington Council are putting in a planning permission request to redevelop Richard Cloudesley school into housing. No details on the p.p. notices up outside the school on Golden Lane, just that an indication of the area to be redeveloped can be viewed inside the school (which I did, it's not very informative - just shows the floor plan of the school) and that there will be a chance to ask questions/ voice concerns on Weds 13th June (I think between 3 and 8).A bit more information here: …See More
